What a wonderful story! I haven't read the books (yet) so I only know about Berdine and Raina from the fan fic in which they are generally minor characters. Because of that I wasn't sure I would enjoy reading a fic focused on them. I'm so glad I decided to read! You did a great job of luring me in with just enough Cara to keep me reading and then totally won me over. Thank you for writing such a great story.
