Thank you, Sissy, an I'm only sorry that you have so few stories left to go! I started these when there was no thought (for the world at large) of any future for TV Phryne-and-Jack, and now that they are actually starting to shoot the first movie any day now, I'm not quite sure whether it's a good idea to continue when we're going to have the authoritative source giving us a new direction.

When you borrow characters, you have to give them back in the right form and I can't do that any more. So, I'm on a bit of a hiatus. There are bound to be a few one-shots, because I can't help responding to ideas that speak to the characters, but I'd feel a bit daft continuing an AU that was drifting further and further away from what the people who own the characters wanted to do with them - given that I wasn't trying to create an AU! I'm excited, and we'll see what treats Every Cloud have in store for us. In the meantime, I hope you will read up to 'For Richer, For Poorer' and carry on reading all the other great stuff that's coming out here.

I LOVE that you're now building on your own body of work. How fun to get to return to the good old ocean liner Strathairn! We all had so much fun there the first time...very certainly Jack and Phryne did ;)

Welcome, Templetonian - I LOVE the username! Very pleased that you enjoyed the fic; the Captain first appears in 'The Sea is Boiling Hot' in case you haven't seen that one?

Utterly amazing story. A perfect balance of the serious and the lighthearted. Absolutely loved it. Please keep on writing. Thank you for sharing your extraordinary talent...

Beautiful snapshot of a family and a couple with real life concerns. You continue to amaze me with your story. Right amount of everything including the mystery! Great wrap up as always and of course the "Pièce de résistance" your signature Epilogue! Thoroughly enjoyable, you always made our day to day life bearable. Please keep on writing. You're one brilliant writer. Cheerio! Mahalo and Aloha!

You always capture that essence of excitement, romance, suspense and humor perfectly in all your stories, that's what I love. I look forward to your future project! Thanks so much, Miss T! A fab job always!

Absolutely wonderful. Thank you for writing and sharing!

It was beautiful and completely satisfying as always. Thank you!

I really have to give it to you. You know how to tweak the buttons of the characters and make them real as you want. Moreover., I liked the description you try to give of life and what do we expect from the characters we care for, without really expecting. I loved it. Thank you, Miss T. You're simply the best! Looking forward to read more from you soon I hope!

Bijoux, thank you. It was a case of trying to articulate Nathan's amazing performance in Blood At The Wheel. I'm glad my approach made sense to you.
