Thanks so much! I'm thrilled that you like the fic! And thanks again for loaning me the Thousand Faces. This story would have been lost without it.

It's funny. At first I tried to put Iolas at the bar with John and Mal, but I quickly realised he would be off hanging with Wash and Ned. So, I'm glad the Hercules connection works for you, too.

Thanks for the kind words and feedback!
