Notes/Acknowledgements:
I have to take some time up front to praise and thank the magnificent untitleddemo. It is not an overstatement to say that this fic would not exist without her encouragement and advice and copious, above-and-beyond-the-call-of-duty feedback. She held my hand every step of the way on this story, she cheered for me and she kicked my ass farther down the road when necessary. (Sometimes I suspected that she knows these characters better than I do.) I am in awe of her generosity. Thank you, J.
Also, heartfelt thanks to my dear neros_violin for also giving beta notes twice (and my apologies for subjecting you to the original nightmarish first draft!). And to __tiana__ for a last second once-over.
maichan has more talent in her pinkie finger than any four random people put together. Her multi-media art (websites!!) for this project is simply a wonder.
Finally, thanks to everyone in lazy_daze’s email loop-you all made the torture process of writing so much fun-and to wendy and thehighwaywoman for all their hard work in running this fantastic challenge.
~~~~~~
And here’s something that might make you laugh… this story was originally conceived as part of the spn_meanttobe Harlequin romance challenge, based on this prompt:
The Prince's Chambermaid.
Cathy is used to making the beds-not slipping between their sheets! Arrogant Prince Xaviero has one rule: once he's taught Cathy everything he knows, their affair will be over. But when the King of Zaffirinthos is taken ill, Xaviero is forced to take up his role as prince regent. The voluptuous curves of meek Cathy still haunt his dreams, and he vows to hold this humble maid to his special kind of prince's ransom!
I hope I did it justice!
