This chapter is dedicated to aamalie ~ for all that you've done, and continue to do, I honestly can't tell you how much I appreciate it all. Fanart was like icing on the awesome cake, and I wish I could really repay you all the squeeful joy you've sent my way these last few weeks =)

On a side note - my mind continues to boggle at the reception of this fic, not only by the pairing ship, but also in general fandom. It was nominated for four awards during the January 2010 term at Eikyuu Kosai, and it placed in all four categories O.O

1st Place, Best Alternate Universe
1st Place, Best Character Portrayal: Miroku
1st Place, Best Multichapter Work
2nd Place, Best Lemon ("Finding Beauty in Negative Spaces")

I...have no words, honestly. The feedback and support I've received for this fic has just been totally out of this world, making working on it a true joy and light in my fandom life. Thank you guys so much!! Now, if only I could find a way to bribe this audience to read the rest of my work as well, LOL... ;)

Because I have been uber-busy this week, I have not had the chance to reply to comments posted for this entry at the contest community. The "official" version has been tweaked slightly, but I wanted to have the chance to respond here, since all of the people who commented are also on my f-list, LOL. So to landofthekwt, yumi_michiyo, and aamalie...
