Thank you! It is, for some reason, my 'Jake' voice - at least, rambling this badly. But I'm really pleased that it still all worked.

Oh, thank you so much for this. It's a balance I really work at - and war is, above all things, humans.

*grins* The trouble is, then I grow fond of my OCs, and want to write more about them, and then end up killing them off. But I'm glad that they work as characters, too - to me, I try and treat them the same way as the canon characters go.

Ahahaha. Jake finds my head way too comfortable, and I have several (dozen) ideas, so I'm sure I'll end up writing more!
