I just knew you had something up your sleeve once I found out you're gonna have a sequel. I can't wait for The Heir. It'll be awesome.

I loved the smushy way DG told Cain about the baby. I loved the hot tub scene, and wow is he hot when he calls her "Deeg." I even liked the fight they had because it makes it so realistic that they would still have fights like this and still love each other as much as they do. This is so FTW.

You know, for the longest time I HATED it when fic writers had people calling her "Deej" but it's kind of grown on me, and now I find myself doing it. I just can't seem to settle on a spelling.

I love this story. You've created a gorgeous, fully-realized vision of life after for Cain, DG, and the O.Z. Can't wait for the sequel.

Thanks, Countess! My hope was to write a realistic story that avoided some of the more overused plot devices. I'm glad you enjoyed it.

Wonderful ending with a brilliant cliffhanger lead in.

Looks like the other three chosen Tin Men aren't too happy about things. It's a good thing it Was Cain DG found. Because looks like at least one of 'em went psycho.

I have loved everything about this story. I really have. I'm excited to read you're doing another one and with THAT ending, you're going to have everyone chomping at the bit for the follow-up.

Thanks so much for giving us one hell of a ride.

I might point out that:

1. We don't actually know that the Three are the other three tin-suit guardians and
2. We don't actually know that the other three tin-suit guardians were Cain's three colleagues on the Mystic Man's detail.

But who am I kidding? It's patently obvious that both are true. The point is that it might be obvious to US, but Cain and co won't know this for awhile.

I'm so glad you liked the ending!

AAAAHHHH!!!!!! The ending!!!!!! Sequel!!!!d;lfkjas df;lkjdf

Yay about the pregnancy! Hmmmm... does this mean that if Cain had died and she'd married Lord Whatshisface, she probably wouldn't have gotten pregnant by him. It's a good thing Cain didn't die. :-)

You know, I hadn't thought of that, but you're probably right. Or perhaps if CAin were really dead and she'd married Gerald, her magic would have known that there was no hope of the ideal situation so it'd let her get pregnant, but with Cain there was always that potential.

I'm just spitballing now. Ignore me.
