A quick Author's Note: At some point between the beginning and roughly halfway through this story, my personality went from the relatively eager worker to the intense procrastinator that doesn't see the need to finish things that aren't worth a grade. As such, there was a huge (like, over a year-long) gap between chapter twelve (-ish, as I rewrote that chapter) and chapter thirteen.

I'm not going to lie; I'm not happy with the way this turned out. I rushed it badly, wanting to finish the story by the end of 2009 for the people that did care and wanted to see it end. From chapter 12/13 on is essentially first draft, having only been quickly checked for spelling errors.

But still, it is a finished work and a fanfiction, so I present it here regardless. Someday, I may rewrite it, but I'm not promising anything.

Enjoy.
