A version of this was written for angiepen in the slashababy fic exchange. I found myself heading toward a story with character death and turned it into a happy ending. But I believe the entire piece would have hung together much better if it continued along to the horribly depressing conclusion. I completely understand if you pass this one by (on any other day I'd be right there with you *g*). And I'm sure the writing gets fuzzier as this goes along because I had the most terrible time writing this. I will not be writing this kind of story again. :-) If you'd prefer to read the version with a happy ending, you can find it here.

As I said in my journal, I am very sorry to hear about your loss. Going through all of that in your personal life I wish you hadn't read the story, but I hope you and your family will eventually be well.

my goodness! i can't imagine why you chose to read this fic after the warning was so clearly made. i'm also surprised that you chose to comment both here and at foxrafer's journal.

you have my condolences on your loss. at the same time, foxrafer has my admiration for being brave enough to to go through the wrenching process she did in order to be true to this story.
