Disclaimer/ Notes: All things “True Blood” are not mine and I gain no compensation from this work aside from the pleasure of playing around with the characters. The quote used in the summary is by Viktor Frankl. Quotes in the story are centered and from Andrew Boyd’s “Daily Afflictions.” Many thanks to smarvelous for the awesome beta job.
( Part 1: Where Godric offers himself to the Fellowship, Gabe earns a promotion, and for once Jason tries to avoid getting lucky in the Biblical sense. )
