Yay! So glad you liked it so much. I kind of wrote it for you, and your comments to Tav's "Justice" about "ooooh what if Steve did something..." but I also think it's a necessary part of the larger story. The threads of their karma are so intertwined that they have a huge impact on each other's lives even if they never get a chance to speak to each other.



Tav initially claimed that mentor-Valin was *not* Koumyou reincarnated, but I couldn't help it, he insisted on being written this way, and I think he must be, too. Sure feels like him. ~_^

Argh why can't I get words to behave at all today without a fight! I want to get back at Aaron's backstory fic.... I don't suppose you'd want a sneak peak.
