*hug!* I'm SO thrilled you enjoyed it! I was very worried about writing something perhaps too angsty. ^__^;; I sort of hated that I was giving it a sad ending, because when it comes right down to it, Adam is one of my favorite characters and I sort of want him to always come out ahead. But at the same time, I also love the idea of him being so powerful he's actually dangerous. And Anathema was just a happy accident; originally the story was from Adam's POV and it was terrible. XD

Merry Christmas, dear. It was an honor to get to write your prompt!
