Authors Notes:
Thanks are owed to so many people for their help in the creation of this fic! Everyone has been incredible; you guys have made this experience one of the absolute highlights of my year.
Massive thanks to paragraphs for being such an amazing beta! Without her, this story would have been much less than it is now, and I am so grateful to her for her endless encouragement and support. Huge thanks also to maya_freyja for all her enthusiastic cheerleading! And thanks to juvenine for being a great artist and for producing such beautiful work. It was a pleasure to work with such wonderful people.
Ridiculous amounts of thanks to all my wonderful #crossbow and chat peeps! I adore you all. ♥ Most of this story was written in 30 minute GSD blocks, and it probably wouldn’t have been finished without you guys! Thanks for all the shared jokes, ridiculous plans and endless support. You guys made this experience amazing.
Thanks also must go to viennajones and to pathera for convincing me I wasn’t crazy and this idea was worth pursuing, else I would never have written this story. And a huge thanks to all my lovely flist for your unending encouragement! You guys have been fabulous, as always. ♥
And finally, there cannot be enough thanks togfeather for her astounding work, going above and beyond in composing, performing, recording and sharing music for this story. There are nineteen of her original pieces of music scattered through this story, mostly in the first part, and I am in awe of her creativity and musical skill. Thanks also to altocello for lending her cello skills to this, and to iichristinll for her assistance as well. I still can't believe you did all this for my story, and I'm both flattered and overjoyed beyond my ability to say.
