That was amazing! So glad I skivved off all the other things I should have been doing to watch the film yesterday. The story would ahve stood alone but having the film to give me the back story made it even better!

You are a fabulous writer!

Off to complement your equally tallented artist now :)

*grin* Thank you, thank you! When avamclean read it over for me she hadn't seen the movie yet, and confirmed that it still worked for her, but yeah, a lot of the character notes are rooted in new!canon. So glad you enjoyed the fic!
