A/N: I’ve tried to remain respectful of Deaf culture, but if there is a specific issue you’d like to address, please PM me with your concerns. 2/20/11: PLEASE READ THE ETA BELOW THE CUT.
A/N2: Pretend that AiA happened in 2011-2012 in this universe.
A/N3: I hadn’t intended for this to be more than a short one-shot when I wrote this a few months ago, so thank you to everyone who liked it enough to want to read more. I hope this doesn’t disappoint.

Special thanks to:
- garden_hoe21 for beta reading and for her helpful discussions
- 1lostone for helping me brainstorm and discuss plots, and all the encouragement
- eefreeboo for being my constant cheerleader and patiently reading my fics, no matter how much sap I throw at her
ETA (2/20/11): I realized when I started writing a fic with d/Deaf characters, I was taking a risk by embarking on a topic with which I was largely unfamiliar. Since the very first chapter was posted months ago, I've stressed that I welcome discourse on aspects of Deaf culture in order to make this fic an accurate and sensitive portrayal. If there are concerns or issues, then I would truly appreciate it if they could be brought directly to my attention.
Sank you for your time.
