This story represents a lot of 'firsts' and 'mosts' for me; it's the longest thing I've ever written, the first J2 fic I ever completed, my first bigbang challenge… But I never would've finished this sucker if it hadn't been for the help and support of so many people. And so many heartfelt thanks go out to:

And so many heartfelt thanks go out to:
- My f-list, especially those of you who answered questions/offered encouragement/quietly rolled your eyes at my J2 obsession, LOL.
- sgflutegirl, for putting up with my ranting about this thing for months. We did it! \o/
- lunachickk, for listening to me ramble about everything else under the sun.
- egotists, for being so amazing as to offer her time and energy to beta, helping me make this story better even though I was a complete stranger. ♥ Any faults that may remain are, of course, mine.
- violettestars and smiledrawinglie for their wonderful artistic skills. (Don't forget to go tell them both what a great job they've done!)
- And lastly, the spn_j2_bigbang mods for doing fandom the service of running this awesome challenge every year.
