author’s notes: Written for the spn_j2_bigbang.
Words cannot express my gratitude to my betas, veronamay and audrarose, for their incredible generosity, help, and support. This story would never have come together without them. In addition, I have to give enormous thanks to the fantastic kros_21 for taking on the job of “Rome expert” for a complete stranger and reviewing my story for contextual and linguistic inaccuracies. The three of them are not responsible in any way for remaining errors contained within, those are all my own.
Thanks and praise to my amazing artist, bittersweet_art. I still cannot believe how lucky I was that she picked my story. Working with her has been a dream come true from start to finish.
Also, thanks to wendy and thehighwaywoman for all of their ridiculously hard work in coordinating the spn_j2_bigbang. You both rock.
I also want to express my life-long gratitude to John Dighton and Dalton Trumbo for writing and to William Wyler for directing one of my favorites, Roman Holiday.
