Eee! Thank you very much! I hope you weren't injured in the beatings, but I'm very glad you read the story and that you're enjoying it. I'm always one step behind uploading things to the Archive, but I've got the chapter up now and I try to post them soon after I get them up here. I'm just happy to have a place where all my stories appear in a neat little list. :-) Thanks for reading and commenting and I hope you enjoy the rest of the story.
