Final edits are done, now I just need to start HTMLing this sucker. There will definitely be at least one sequel, as I didn't fit in about a third to a half of what I wanted to into this story. Rather than force it, though, I'm going to make a story break here. The rest of what I wanted to fit has a different feel, even in my own head, and I think it would be too jarring to try to attach it to this story. ^_^

Final word count: 33,098
