*beams* Thanks! Especially after seeing you write the Ambassador so well, I had fits over her section. I had to go back and rewatch her episode to find out that her house was a Tudor Revival, and then I was reminded about how much she genuinely loves Emily. That episode ended with Emily making an overture towards improving their relationship as well, so I didn't want things to have moved backwards.

Anyway, I've seen the Ambassador written as a cast-iron bitch, and I don't think that's entirely fair, so I wanted to move away from that but still keep some of the tension there in their relationship, because that obviously hasn't gone away.

And now that I've written a book at you in response.... thank you! :D I'm glad you liked this installment. :)
