Yes! Without putting it explicitly into the text (there was no non-awkward way to do it), Part Five follows chronologically from Part One. I'm really glad you think the transition back to there has worked, because that was the biggest challenge, really - getting the tone right and matching it to Part One without losing everything that has happened inbetween and also jumping their dynamic forward four years - aaaah! Hence my beating myself half to death last week writing it and trying to get it right XD

I'm so pleased you liked it that much, thank you, bb. I'm so glad all the different things worked together for you (honestly, when this fic is finished I plan on taking a week off just to stare at the ceiling and play dead.)
