"Goodnight, Beloved"

Author: Little Bird a.k.a. Caitlin (Crowbo13@aol.com)

Rating: PG (Some swearing)

Summary: M/R fic . . . You have to read it. :p No spoilers.

Disclaimer: Someone else owns all the characters as well as the Lost World. I'm just having fun with them.

Dedication: This is to all my friends on the TLW official board. I love you guys!

Author's notes: This is my first TLW fic . . . but I would love for you to read and review it. Please, no flames, but constructive criticism is welcomed. I originally wrote this fic as one based on 'Imzadi' and as a song fic ('Lullaby' by Billy Joel), but I didn't like the way it came out . . . so I totally revamped it to the point where is no longer even resembles the original story save for one or two lines. Even the song was cut. What you see on your screen is the end-product.

Archive: Surely, just e-mail me the link!

Explanation:

Okay . . . while writing this story, I face a big problem . . . I didn't know how to end it. It's not that I didn't have an ending . . . quite the opposite, I had three. At first, I thought, 'Oh, I'm gonna be nice.' Then, I realized I was talking about myself, and face it, I'm not nice. And the other . . . I don't know where it came from.

So, I decided that I would write the story three times, each with an alternative ending. One is liable to get my head served on a silver platter at the next TLW Board Picnic and Bar-B-Q; one is gonna save me, and the 3rd . . . let's just say I know I will get mixed reviews.

I wanna especially thank Arms/Chris, my partner in crime . . . I wuv you!

Now, without further rambling, I present my first TLW fic . . . 'Goodnight, Beloved'
