To all readers new and old: the sequel (titled Starwatch: Compact) is being folded into this story.

Originally I thought starting the new arc as a separate story would be a way of giving the ME1 arc closure. It ended up being a mistake, for the main story is far from concluded, as the 10 chapters of the sequel already attest.

Please accept an apology on my part for this.

I have been writing this story for years on now, and I've promised myself this will be the last fanfiction I'll write - I've grown enough as a writer and creator that I can start penning my own stories, which was the original goal when I started, but I WON'T leave things unfinished.

I hope you enjoy reading what's coming up next.

Please, post your reviews, or send messages. They keep me going. :)
