So I had some comments about reading the PreStories or SideFics and not knowing what various terms meant. Thus I create the Angel Chronicles Universe Dictionary, which I will refer to as the ACUD. Contained herein I will list all abbreviations for the various story titles, as well as notes on terms used in the fic. Does that make things a little easier for you guys?
