Not at all! It's particularly lovely to get feedback on an older piece. :)

I'm so pleased you enjoyed it. Curt/Arthur has never been my prime pairing, but I've come to feel quite tender toward Arthur - he seemed so beaten down by the world, and I felt so bad that apparently something, or a series of somethings, happened to make him retreat into such a tight and uncomfortable shell. I thought that he deserved a second chance.

Thanks again for your kind and thoughtful remarks. They made my day!
