Aww, Anon, I would hug you if I could! Thank you so much for the kind words – I’m honored that it’s your favorite fic in the fandom!
As to a sequel – I am very, very open to the idea of a sequel, honestly, because I like where we leave the characters and I have a couple of ideas for where I could take them next. Nothing’s fully formed, but I’ll certainly give it some thought!
