Author's Note
Welcome to my storey. A few things about this fanfic: it's long. Possibly slow. I have over a hundred and sixty pages of it written so far, and each chapter will encompass anywhere from two to five pages each. I have tried very hard to keep each person in character, and I will tell you now, it is EXHAUSTING—especially with Erik. What a complex person he is! I am hoping to show great character development throughout.
And please: if you do review (which thrills me more than I can even put into words), there is one thing I ask, which would for some reason prove very helpful to me. If you have a favourite line or lines, I would appreciate it beyond description if you would let me know which line(s) most effected you. Thank you, so much!
Oh, and another thing—I am usually an extremely careful speller, but I have decided (even though I am an American) to use the European spelling of several words and terms, like story/storey, maneuver/manoevre, traveled/travelled, favor/favour, eager/eagre, and others. I just think the European way looks much more authentic for a tale such as this. Very beautiful.
Enjoy, please.
