Some considerations by Aleh Cemy
Certainly, this isn't a "common" story. In fact, I think I might have excited myself about the idea. Well, I know I had fun writing this, not because the writing itself, but because the characters themselves, the details, the whole aura of supernatural involved here. If you want to go straight to the next page, feel free. But you may want to read everything here, so you can read situated in the story.
I started planning this story on Feb/2012, then yes, I'm only posting now is because I really wanted this story to be as perfect as possible. And also, I took time to write because I had target of five thousand words a chapter (not fulfilled, but all the chapters except the last, are pretty big), not to mention that I had to translate everything into English so that both versions can stay synchronized in the publication.
And my plan has always been to publish it before the 4th season, to "preserve" the knowledge of what would be the fourth season, which I think should work more with the story presented here. That is, I really had to battle to get everything finished and so on.
Some initials warnings:
I don't use all the characters of the Warehouse13, since this story is between the finale of Season 3 (which made me dissatisfied, and maybe it has just given a little push to my creativity), and the series premiere of season 4 (which I have no idea what will be, only that the episode is called New Hope, and I watched the promo, but please, disregard any information from promo. However, no comments.). It means: Helena, Steve and Mrs. Frederic remain dead.
There is no much concern about spoilers or a good memory, as I tried to keep a story without too many details of what happened during the episodes (but knowledge about the season finale of Season 3 will be required).
This story is perhaps a special case of AU, because I'll pretend that whole tragedy of the warehouse being destroyed has been resolved, but Helena couldn't return. So, consider this story as something post-season 3 and pre-season 4. Just as you have total freedom to think that this whole tragedy was resolved the way you prefer.
Oh yeah, I have NO PLAN, I repeat, NO PLAN to make an extended version, or even a sequel. No plan in the future. This story was made seeking the highest possible perfection, so I'm posting this story only after it's finished.
Good reading!
P.S. 1: A friend of mine (and thank you, "meu rei รณ" [it's how I call him in portuguese] for all the support given) suggested I make a video talking about the fic (and possibly answering some question you have related to fic). What do you think? Be warned that I'm a little shy.
P.S. 2: Rated T because the story itself didn't seem very suitable to be in K+, because I think the story can kind of scare a little (or not). Also, I put Myka as character, because in some ways the story revolves around her, although in the first three chapters have a different point of view.
Again, good reading :)
