I've only recently started following Despatches but I think it's just brilliant. Thank you for bringing a little AoS goodness to my reading page!

I'd like to suggest a fic or, well, several for Rec of the Week. :3 The To the Ends of the Earth tag on Ao3 is rather small but has some quality fic. Descend, and Touch, and Enter by Innie is particularly good.

You're very welcome - and if you produce any AoS goodness of your own, I would love to be able to link to it to brighten up other people's reading pages.

And thanks for your rec/s - I'll certainly include that one in this week's Rec of the Week slot, and will keep my eye on that TTEOTE tag too.

Ah, well, all I've done so far is a fic called The Dancing Master (to be found, perhaps unsurprisingly, amidst that TTEOTE fic)... I'd love to do more, however, so if I ever get around to it I'll let you know. :D
