Oooh, what a fascinating story! It might be more mysterious to me because I don't know some of the characters & adventures you reference, but it's still quite understandable. I'm very intrigued by the oleander-that's-not-quite & its adventurous offspring, & look forward to discovering what happens when it gets big enough to peek over the windowsill. ;-)

Oh, & thank you very much for linking to these previous parts from AO3--it's especially helpful for folks like me who are new to online MfU fandom. (Tho' not new to fandoms, as my icon suggests. Sorry, couldn't resist using it here. >;-)
