OMG you have no idea how panicked I was the past two weeks when NOTHING would come together in my head! I think I have written more this month than I have in all the rest of the year (one full Yuletide story and two treats in addition to this).

Ummm. The xxxHolic fic is incredibly spoilery for the latest chapters, but it may be in a way that is completely not obvious until you've read the chapters. I suspect it just may be a lot of strange imagery and make no sense at all until you've read the latest.

Also, yay, I am glad you enjoyed this fic! I love Rue and Ahiru so much.
