Thanks for posting the link to Adamant and Starlight. The last thing I remember reading was the trial scene (I love a good trial scene like A&S and H.F's The Metamorphoses of Narcissus) and that seems like aeons ago.

I've had the week from hell at work but I'm looking forward to tonight, when I shall be settling down with a box of very good chocolate, my favourite wine and Delicate Sound of Thunder. All good things come to those who wait.
