Author's Note

As promised the chronological order of events held in 'Life is a Medley'. Given are the chapter titles, not actual events.

1st, set directly between the wedding and the trip home that is the last chapter of 'Bring Me to Life', 04: Toki Ni Ai Wa – this chapter is the sushi bar scene, something I promised to a few of you, and I accidentally got myself into describe everything a bit too much into detail. I had to be sure that whoever was reading knew what I was talking about, but I also wanted to be accurate. Unfortunately, it lead to me to act like only one character knew anything. But that did kind of work itself out, didn't it?

2nd, set directly after the last chapter, is 03: Everything – this chapter is the party that Robbie begrudgingly agrees to have in honour of his and Violet's wedding.

3rd, set about a month after the last, is 01: So Pure – this is really where my ideas of what came about after the last story started, which lead to all subsequent chapters to be out of order.

4th, set three weeks after the last, is 02: Be Like That – this chapter is a huge prelude to the events that follow, as well as a little teaser to other things that come.

5th, set seven weeks after the last, is 06: Kiss from a Rose – this relates to things that are told from here on out. It's so nice to see I can write SportaSteph if I want, however I don't think I will ever try again. It was too sickly sweet to get into detail with, and I'm not the sickly sweet kind of guy.

6th, set three months after the last, is 05: At The Beginning – the event of Violet trying to sew in the second chapter is her trying to make the bridesmaid dresses for the wedding and not having much luck at it.

7th, set five months after the last, is 07: Touch Me with Your Love – this is where things really begin to move for Sportacus and Stephanie, and my writing it out got harder to do, other than trying to write about using a sewing machine after not having done so in many years.

8th, set two months after the last, is 12: The Reason – here, Robbie leaves the bunker behind to look forward at his life with his lovely wife. I hope I showed well that his working down there was causing him to fall back into old, bad habits, and he didn't like disturbing Violet with that.

9th, set four months after the last, is 08: Pocketful of Sunshine – the Fateful event of Robbie and Violet's passing. *tear*

10th, set directly after the last, is 09: Incomplete – hopefully you can tell that Stephanie is over eighteen, and able to actually wed Sportacus. I don't like writing anything that could be seen as paedophilia, so I had to set it this way so that she was of age.

11th, set eight and a half months after finding out about the pregnancy, is 11: Unwritten – okay, so the banter in the car wasn't really needed, and I bet you didn't know that Sportacus, or Magnús, could drive. Surprise, surprise.

12th, finally, set 19 years later, is the Epilogue: Madness – first, it's the lyrics of this particular song that put it in the mood it's in, the twins finally seeing the contents of the bunker. If anyone is wondering about the latter mishap, I was trying to show that in the show, this continuity error exists. so that makes this all canon strangely. And no, the twins are not telepathic. Some say that elves can share memories with willing people through touch, and I tried showing that. The reason the twins cry after seeing their father's memories is that he's the one who found Robbie and Violet, which is a sad thing to see no matter how you spin it.

Also — I highly recommend watching the movie mentioned at the end there, it will make you understand why they got a bit closer.

So there you go; it's complete.
