Mandatory check on you mate, hope everything is good.

Var. I hope life has brought you nothing but good things.

Better than one drunken American who has a habit of pissing you off from time to time with thoughtless remarks.

You dead? Good riddance.

Varanus!!!!
Are you dead?

Hey Varanus,

I was going through my lists tonight and came by out of curiosity to see how long you've been out, and it's been quite a while. It made me sad to think that you will likely never finish this amazing and amazingly-told story (Composure, or course). It's been so long that I can't help but think that you might have out-grown it, or simply moved on for whatever other reason.

Even if you never complete Composure, thank you so much for what you brought to us. This story really resonated with me and brought me very enthusiastically into the fandom. I do wish we could see where this wonderful story eventually led, but what you gave us was sweet.

All of that said, I sincerely hope that you're doing well wherever you are, and whatever you are doing. That, honestly, would be a good ending all by itself.
