I know! I've been wringing my hands for a while now! Actually, I sort of forgot about it for a while, put it out of my head, but whenever I read an especially good SG fic I'd go, "Oh, NO! MINE isn't this good! Not fair!" But on the whole, I'm still proud of it, especially considering what a bitch it was to write.
I'm so, so glad you liked the fight! It was so hard, and I'm still not crazy about it. Fight scenes are tough.
Eeee! I'm glad the Stone worked for you! I just wanted a teeny subplot, just something to wink at the reader now and then and make them go, "Oh!" at the end. Nothing too brilliant or important, but a little extra blackmail material for Draco is always a good thing. ; )
ZOMG! That's an awesome cartoon! That's very much how I pictured Narcissa, too!
