I've added these to the character list, and linked the story too.

Thanks!

That's okay. Not everything necessarily has to follow the timeline -- and unless there's an internal conflict between stories as written, the timeline can be considered a suggestion until things actually get posted.

My thoughts exactly.

This really feels like the kind of family where people love each other, but there are strings attached that make matters awkward sometimes.

Thank you so much! That's exactly what I was thinking (and I haven't even posted the Lot sneering bits). I really am finding that the Ursulan Cycle is turning out to be more about family than anything else.
