STORY DISCLAIMER *If you are not a concerned party, then you can skip this.

This is my disclaimer for the entirety of When Blood Is Spilled on Moontide: Convergence. There will be another one on my first entry of the main story, When Blood Is Spilled on Moontide.

Firstly, Heero Yuy and all references to Gundam Wing belong to Sotsu Agency Sunrise and Bandai, Inc. All alterations heretofor are my responsibility, and in no way intended to corrupt or defile the source.
Second, Harry Potter and all canon references belong to J.K. Rowling and Scholastic Books. Characters, situations and terms that are identified in other fandom works, I must insist, are property of their respective owners and not mentioned in my story intentionally. If by this alone, said owners are not satisfied, then I would be happy to receive your e-mail/flame about arguable property and refer to my mistake on a separate Author's Note where said author's works would be happily linked, in apology. For those I intend to put with full knowledge of another author using them, then I have already happily linked said author's work and referred the term/situation/character to the respective stories I lifted them from. Said links would be found in my Favorite Stories section, or a simple reference in my Author Bio.

AUTHOR'S NOTES:

WBISoM is inspired by the following works, and would heretofore be basing some situations and conditions from these works of fiction: "Garou" by Asuka Kureru (FFNet) and "Call of the Wild" by Wolfie Twins(Diagon Alley).

I have not categorized my story into the crossovers section because, although it is technically a crossover, there is little to no reference to Heero Yuy's world, except in relation to him (i.e. his feelings, accounts of his past, etc.). As far as this fic is concerned, Heero Yuy is immersed in Potterverse, whether he likes it or not, and is bound to be changed by it. And I mean it with all the angst and brooding that Heero Yuy could ever muster, which is, in my opinion, is a lot more than batty old Snape (excuse me for that, I did not mean it, really!) could ever feel on his worst day plus Neville Longbottom.

Of course, despite all the internal turmoil, this fic is by no way a boring ride. And, I swear, I won't just dump Heero Yuy in the HP world the cheesy style. Need I elaborate? I think you should just read the fic to find out!

There are some AU-style setbacks in reference to Heero's world, although that hardly matters to the story. The setting when Heero 'left' was after White Fang, Endless Waltz. So, animé-wise, the gundams should be destroyed. In my story, they aren't. Well, I was debating whether to use that little time gap between Heero's collapse into Relena's arms (yech! I am an anti-Relena supporter) and the time where they send the gundams to the sun for good. But that time, I'm afraid is just too short. Besides, I wanted Heero to actually be in service for a while under the Preventers, and the added manpower of the gundams is just too tempting an opportunity to let incinerate. And, I must reason, only five people in the entire human race can pilot the gundams. Okay, maybe six, but that's it. The world's safe already, suffice to say, even with the gundams present. So, you'd be getting a glimpse of gundams at work before we say goodbye to GW-verse.

There is the situation of having too many prologue parts. I was planning on making them chapters, and am actually going to separate the prologue from the main story because of this. When I started the fic, I encountered lots of points of view that I wanted to express, so the story would be clearly understood. I couldn't find a way to fit them in the main as flashbacks and whatnot, because my prologue scenes require isolation, so that limits the opportunity to present them as accounts or in other fashions. So, I decided to have it as two separate stories. WBISOM: Convergence and WBISOM. The former is nearing completion as I write this, the latter is still mainly on paper. (I have trouble staying consistent when writing directly on hardrive.)

It has occured to me that having another hero, ahem, Heero Yuy, in a universe where there is already a hero, namely Harry Potter, is like putting two alpha males in one small room. Rest assured that Harry Potter verse will retain its original hero, Harry Potter, and Heero gets to have a separate role. That is, Harry gets to be Heero's, well, hero. It is a constant in HP canon, and I respect that. So, by all means, I intend to make Harry Potter the savior of all. Besides, the universe is named after HIM, s'all. The H2H situation is rather delicate, I must admit, since both have a lot of good qualities that just beg to be explored. Heero, for example, is the silent avenger type. Sort of like Snape, bad and good and generally misunderstood. ^.^ Harry, on the other hand, is the quite-generic humble hero type. Sort of like Frodo. If anything, there'll be lots of philosophizing. (Is that a word?) I promise though, that even if the story is kinda Heero-centric, Harry will never lose his limelight.

So, that's all folks! Happy reading!
