Holy CRAP. Lady, this story is mother-effing EPIC. I LOVE IT. I am so, so glad you finally finished this.

I really like how you explained so much in the telling of this story.

- Why poor Mose comes off as a "half-wit"
- What The Storm is
- Mose and his bedtime stories

Then there were the other details that were just ... great:

- Dwight's mother -- "a foundling" -- HA!
- Grandmutter Mannheim and her drunken nazi stories
- Pam being Angela's maid of honor
- Angela refusing Dwight's proposals because he didn't have an indoor bathroom

And of course, the Mose love story. I just wanted to cry with happiness at the end. It's so awesome. You really pulled out the stops on this one and I don't know what else I can say other than how impressed I am. Great job! Totally worth the wait.

Ha, I thought people would find it epic, but in a bad way. Thank you!

I have to admit, I really got sucked into Mose's fictional life, and spent entirely too much time thinking about the Schrute family. I'll miss him a lot.

I'm really glad you like the love story. It was the hardest part for me, a real struggle to find sweetness in the weirdness.

Thanks for reading, doll!

AH! I'm so pleased you liked it! When I posted this, I was chewing my nails, wondering if it would make sense to anyone but me (and of course my lovely beta). To hear that someone actually felt something has ME grinning.

Thank you, darling S.

I have you to thank, dear.

There is no one else I know that would endure my complicated emails about the canon Schrute family tree and ways in which in contradicts itself. I still believe that Dwight Schrute is a compulsive liar. It's the only explanation. Seriously.

I'm here from scranton_times and I really enjoyed how you fleshed Mose out! I also really liked the various Schrutes and Cecilia as well.

You did an awesome job with this. :D

Ugh. So much love for this. I'm a fan of Mose stories (I've got a few on the back burner right now) and this one is great.

Thank you so much for commenting! I developed an infinite amount of love for Mose during the writing of this fic, so I'm glad to hear of future stories on the horizon.
