First of all, I want to thank everyone for reveiwing. It really means a lot that people enjoy my story, and that they take the time to tell me about it. Thank you all very, very much. Feedback is the stuff dreams are made of. *grin*
Secondly, there probably won't be a sequel. Unless I get some strangly amazing insperation, it just doesn't seem to scream sequel to me. If it did, I would gladly write one, but it's just a short little vignette of Zack's 'family' life.
Thirdly, Zack was in Max's apartment to check on her. I've theorized that he's done that all along, to all the kids. To some he's revealed himself early, but to others, like Max, he has not. Also, I am a Max/Zack 'shipper. He obviously feels more than brotherly toward her, and I tried to convey this in the story. These are not Zack's thoughts; this is something that is really happening, at least in my timeline. And the POV is a narrator, perhaps Zack's own subconsious, telling him what to do. SO I guess, if you look at it that way, it might be his thoughts. And my Zack doesn't have mental problems, at least not any more than usual. *grin*
And about the timeline: this could happen any time during the course of the show, though obviously before 'And Jesus Brought a Casserole...' I think it happened sometime after '411 on the DL,' after Zack revealed himself to Max. And, just a general note: the season has taken more than a year in DA time, though it's only been eight or nine months real time. Therefore, there are many windows of time between episodes, and that's when this happened.
If you have any other questions about 'Midnight' or any of my other fics, please don't hesitate to drop me a line at holly@members.limitless.org or just write a signed review. I get them in the mail too.
Thanks for letting me ramble on,
