To everyone who has read this collection of oneshots... To anyone currently reading, to anyone who will read in the future...

Today marks the two year anniversary of the day I published "My Life Has Been a Good One", the last oneshot of this series, Hershel's. It was published on November 21st, 2015.
In the two years since I wrote this series, it has received more views and more reviews on both Fanfiction and AO3 than any story I have ever written. Yes, I know there are way, way, way, way, way more popular fanfics out there! I know 52 reviews is nothing to brag about compared to many other fics... but I still just can't believe that something I wrote has received as much attention as it has. :,)

The series has been reblogged on several different websites, and the people who have commented on those websites have said the kindest things (and I wish I could thank them all personally!). ;_; And of course, I've never forgotten about the reviews you guys gave me here on Fanfiction . net! I've gone back and read them so many times in the past 730 days. :,3

Since I can't get in contact individually with everyone who has ever read or commented, I'll just have to say a great big collective thank-you here...

THANK YOU! Thank you so, so, so much, everyone! Your support is incredible, stupefying, and humbling. I'm absolutely astonished that two years later this series is still racking up views!

Now I have no doubt there are mistakes in "In Honour of a Good Man". Maybe if I were to rewrite it now from start to finish, I could write it better, deliver a better reading experience... I know a lot has changed in the world of Professor Layton — and by that I mean the sudden introduction of Layton's DAUGHTER, Katrielle, of course! I tried so hard to keep things as canonical as possible when writing these oneshots... but I guess even the biggest stickler for canonical accuracy is no match for Level-5 and their new and changing ideas! (So I guess Alfendi wasn't adopted after all. *cough cough*)

I actually thought about writing a oneshot for Katrielle and adding it to this collection, but there's no possible way I could do that without changing the oneshots of several other characters and re-working a Layton daughter into them...

Oh well! I hope the beautiful Professor Layton community will continue to enjoy this series for what it is, in spite of its possible structural errors and canonical inaccuracies. xD

Again, thank you all so very much for your views, reviews, reblogs, and PMs. I truly could never express my gratitude. I don't deserve the praise — there are far better writers out there than me. c': But you guys and your kindness bring tears to my eyes. May I be so bold as to hope this collection continues to be enjoyed for years to come?

Forever a loyal and thankful Professor Layton fan,
Dew
