Oh thank you so much for your comment. So cool to get feedback on an old fic. I love hearing about all the small bits readers liked so thank you for taking the time to comment!

it can't possibly be an AU of Chandri's "Knitted Goods" AU (right??) - you're right, it can't. I've never read that fic (that I remember! - I've read a lot of fics!) so all similarity is coincidental product of the fandom hive-mind... :D
