I'm very glad I didn't find this until all the parts were posted – I don't deal well with suspense, and this is a real epic! Also very relieved to be rewarded with a happy ending after the mega-angst of the penultimate scene (poor old Bodie; you really put him through the wringer, didn't you? But he had to learn!). And what a lovely happy ending it is. Perfect last line, too *g*. And I really liked ghost Maeve. Thank you!
