Here speaketh the author under the guise of a kracken.

I'm glad you liked it! ^^ I was pretty anxious about it because I ended up writing it after a somewhat extended period of *not* doing fic, so I'm very relieved it satisfied you. ^^ And yes, the black band headcanon is one of my favourites, though I'm afraid I can't take credit for the idea - I saw it on goodomensheadcanons.tumblr.com once. But Crowley helping to bribe ACD into writing the continuation *is* mine. ^^

Thank you for sharing your thoughts on it, and Happy New Year's!
