Notes:Thank you to everyone who has read this story! I have enjoyed writing it. This has been a challenge but one that I have loved. There are huge sections of this story where I would have loved to expand on the relationship building, but the pace of the story and the time constraints on the writing were not conducive to doing that. So, I will probably post some outtakes at a later time.
Thanks to joannalannister for your work in finding me an artist and setting up the Big Bang and to hand of silver for your beautiful artwork!
