For those that were following A Link is ForgedI apologize for placing that story on hiatus, but I had no other choice. Normally, I’m able to abate or appease my demanding muse and continue on with what I had started. Not so in this case. FaLLen has taken a hold of me, sunk it’s fangs in deeply and is still very much a part of me.
Before we start I need to address several issues. First, this story is unlike anything I’ve ever written. It is pure angst. If you’re looking for fluffiness, I suggest checking out my other stories since you will find none of that here. Second, heed every warning. From the very beginning I will be delving into subjects some might find upsetting. However, this was how I chose to tell this tale and will not apologize for these decisions. Third and most importantly, I want everyone to enjoy and please let me know your thoughts both positive and negative. Any and all comments are welcomed. Just know flames will not be appreciated nor tolerated. Now with that out of the way...Big thanks to Sanityfair, Diebirchen, and my newest beta extraordinaire, Scarlett Duck. Thank you ladies!!!

Well, that and please no flamage. Let me know what you think, good, bad, or otherwise, but don't attack me personally. Especially since I'm so fragile right now.

I like to give a big thanks to ScarlettDuck for her beta skills and a special thanks to the most amazing, resilient woman I know, Sanityfair. Over the last three years she's been there for me, far more than a beta, and I love her for it. Stay strong, sweetie.

On a completely separate note, my daughter's cheerleading squad made the Nationals, so for the first week of December, I will not be posting since I'm away in Orlando, FL.

Sorry I've been away for so long. Initially, this was no way my intention it's just RL got ahold of me and I couldn't shake it loose. I promise, I will be updating regularly, every other week, from now on. I hope this long wait hasn't detered you from returning. One can hope. Many thanks to all the readers who nominated me. I'm still speechless! Big thanks to my amazing betas, Sanityfair and Diebirchen. You ladies are the best.
15. Chapter 15 by Behind Blue Eyes [Reviews - 8] (806 words)
Well, it's Wednesday. Before you read, I have a few things to say. I'd like to start out saying that this story is like a double edged sword. I love how freeing writing this is, yet, at the same time, I've realized how difficult it can be breaking from a mold or a certain mindset. It is a process that I'll never forget. Also, I'd like to thank my amazing betas, Sanityfair and Diebirchen. Lastly, this chapter is dedicated to sallyntmare. Throughout this story she has been a constant supporter of mine and I love her for it! Big hugs!!

I know it's been a really long time. Without going into the whys, I think it's just better to get to the story. Don't you?
Recap: William and Buffy had kinky sex. Buffy London-bridged little William, took the key to his cock cage, and left with a nod and a smile.
Big thanks to Sanityfair. She is beyond amazing.

I would like to take a moment to personally thank sallyntmare and fyreburned for their reviews and a big thanks to my beta and friend, Sanityfair.
24. Chapter 24 by Behind Blue Eyes [Reviews - 2] (1518 words)
Yes, yes, I know it's been a bit. But in my defense I've been writing pretty much everyday. It's just I wanted this chapter to be, well, perfect. And I know that's a tall order but since this is the first part of THE BIG REVEAL, I wanted it to be...BIG. After a month of picking and rewording and scrapping things that just didn't work, I finally came to the realization that this part of the reveal is done. Now, in saying this, it doesn't mean I'm not nervous about the reader's reactions. So please be gentle.
As always, major thanks to my beta Sanityfair. Since I'm a stubborn b*tch, any boo-boos or stuff that doesn't make any friggin sense is completely all on me. Okay, okay, I'm done my nervous ranting. Please proceed with caution...
