Whoever put me into impotent grief and took my white tom-cat in secret from me:

LDF: It's all for you, poppet!! You did a great job with this beta and I can't thank you enough! Not only do a have a kick-ass constant reviewer who never fails to make me smile, I also have a fabulous editor who always delivers. Thank you so much. *hugs*

Bai: Thank you. I'm glad you like it. ^^

Sarryn: *glomps* You leave some of the most eloquent reviews I've ever seen. ^^ Thank you and I'm glad you've stayed on the wagon for so long. Hopefully this Arc will only improve with time.

Kethhry: Thank you . . . I think. ^^ Just kidding. I'm glad that you're enjoying the Arc thus far. Eventually, I will get back to Broken Lullabies, but for right now, the J.A.P. Arc is devouring my muse. And, especially since so many people seem to enjoy it, I can't really argue with that. Thank you for your review--I hope I can keep you hooked.

LDF: You know, it's just no fair that I feel the need to write reviews for your reviews. =^_^= Thank you. You are not only a wonderful reviewer, but you are also a magnificent beta reader. And your consistancy in both respects is admirable. I am humbled by your ever-present support and commitment--and rightfully so. Thank you.

Anon: Thank you! This Arc is on the list of Things I Will Finish If It's the Last Thing I Do, so no worries there. Eventually a ray of sunlight will break through the clouds, but there's a way to go yet. I'm glad you like the Arc, and especially the way I write Severus. He's one of my favorite characters, so it's important to me to get his behavior correct. Thanks again and I hope you enjoy the fic! =3


Thanks go everyone who read the fic and/or offered their support over the past seven weeks. And mucho thanks go to everyone who reviewed! *bows* Arigatou gozaimashita.

Anon: Thank you! I'm really happy that you like it and, though it may sometimes take me a while to update, I have every intention of finishing Heart. =^_^= Thank you for your review!

LDF: You have no idea how grateful I am that you continue to beta for me. I know that this has to take an ENORMOUS chunk out of your time and yet you continue to beta with incredible speed. You never tell me to wait, or that you're too busy, or tiredired, or can't for whatever reason. Plus, you do an absolute kick-ass job of beta-ing. Then you review evey update on top of it all. I really cannot thank you enough. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Lushy - Yeah . . . a few people had problems displaying the fic . . . Don't know what that was about. If it happens again, you can jst go to my yahoo group and follow on of the links there. I archive in five archives, plus I have a website. ^^;;;

LDF - ====^___^==== You never fail to leave me blushing and speechless. Really, I should be the one gushing over you; your edits naver disspaoint me and you sheer promptness boggles the mind. =3 Thank you for both reading the arc, and being my beta.

Lina - The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock is on of my all-time favorite poems. That it fits Severus so well is an added, unanticipated bonus. Thanks for the review!
