The title for what is expected to be an arc of stories was suggested by Devo, and Killa has been her ever-gracious and gifted self in her feedback, her unflagging support, and by providing me with some beautiful screen captures to illustrate the text. I would like to express my deep appreciation to Poledra and Jette Goldie, both from Scotland, who have kindly advised me on all things Scottish, including language and geography and history. Finally, Janeen gave me some fabulous feedback which led to a re-edit (and IMO great improvement) on Chapter One.In addition, I would like to add Carson Kearns to my list of folks to thank for reading and advising me on various aspects of this story. I also commend to you her entire "Lost in the Loving" cycle of stories, particularly her "Lighting You Home" section, where she is referencing some of Duncan's experiences in this tale as he works through his overwhelming grief after Richie's death. Please note that her tale is NC-17, and contains explicit sexual references of the m/m kind.
Lastly, I would like to thank MEC for taking the time to do a final review, advising on the correct portrayal of various flora and fauna, as well as a detailed look at my annoying spelling and word usage errors. She volunteered to do so sua sponte, and caught a number of things no one else had.
| MOST ESPECIALLY:
I need to acknowledge the writers and producers of HL:The Series and HL:Endgame.
This story is intended to illuminate the canon of the series and the movie,
Endgame. Thus, direct quotes from those sources are necessarily part
of the story. Those portions should be immediately recognizable to
viewers of the series and the movies, and are (obviously) not original
to me.
