Third Plot Hole Filled:

The careful reader might have noticed that whenever Christopher discussed having sex, it was with Akane, not Wakaba.  Likewise, when it came time for a mother giving birth it was Akane, not Wakaba.  Obviously a full grown adult is better suited to these tasks than a child who died before she could grow up.  But I wanted to make clear that Christopher's relationship with Wakaba doesn't fall short in any way from his relationship with Akane, that both Wakaba and Akane co-share their body and soul, so I added in this well-deserved scene during his love singularity montage in Chapter 31:

* * *
"I always make love and give birth in Akane's form because it's easier on my body, but today is special, so I'm giving you Wakaba's virginity too."  Wakaba's eleven year old, pre-drowned eyes gazed into mine with the passion of an unfulfilled dream. 
* * *
Likewise, the sex scenes between Christopher, Fate, and Nanoha were all depicted with them as adults.  Even when he watched them playing sexy beach volleyball, they were playing as adults.  Since I didn't want to leave behind the misimpression that he was somehow averse to their loli forms (or that they were holding out on him despite knowing his inclinations because they didn't love him enough to go that far), I added this scene into the montage as well:
* * *
"Raising Heart! -- Bardiche! -- Settt Up!"  The magitech duo commanded, facing me side by side.  "Stand by, ready."  "Condition all green, get set."  Their intelligent devices responded.  Pink feathers and sparkles flew on one side of the room while yellow lightning forked dangerously around the other as my whirling in mid-air magical girls were stripped of their casual clothes and encased in their beautiful matching white and black barrier jackets from A's.
Nanoha gave me a triumphant look as she grounded her staff.  "You've had so many threesomes already.  So we knew, if we were going to catch your eye, ours would have to be a bit flashier than the others."
"So we thought, as nine year olds in strategically displaced barrier jackets, we wouldn't lose to anyone."  Fate mumbled while blushing and staring determinedly at the floor.
Kita! Kita! KITAAAAAAAA!
* * *
Chapter 31 is one of my favorite chapters (well, who am I kidding, they're all my favorite chapters because it's the best book ever written), not only because it has so many alluring details, but primarily because it characterizes so many different girls so quickly, efficiently and well.  A lot of these montages capture them being *themselves* more than anywhere else.  Now Wakaba, Nanoha and Fate share in the extra characterization too.

My 14th read-through will hopefully specialize in filling in anything I still feel is missing -- left uncommunicated, that should have somewhere been said, just like this.  But like usual that's not all.  I already found and corrected a capitalization error in the first few pages, so clearly the proofreading aspect will be as important as ever.  The work will continue until there's nothing left to improve.

To view the entire love singularity montage in context, be sure to check out 'In Another World with 100 Waifus Part 3' in my permaposts.  It starts at chapter 31, for those who can't even wait three chapters to get to the good stuff.
