Transfiguration

Chapter I
Chapter II
Chapter III
Chapter IV

Some major thank-yous are in order as we begin posting the chapters (in relative quick succession, I hope).

To no_detective, for everything from the amazing pic spam, the even more amazing lunch meeting (in which we destroyed people's childhoods), and the beta service done with love.

To yevgenie, whose walls of yellow highlights strike fear into the heart of buoy. (Mwahahahaha)

To le_culdesac, for her exemplary beta service and illuminating insights for the first three chapters.

To arlad and dancinguniverse, for their patient background suggestions and debugging. arlad has been most gracious in providing continuous support in that area, including certain Spanish translation.

To the lovely people in kirkspock and some on my LJ, who gave us so much encouragement. little_details, for useful information gathered.

And of course, to my co-writer buoy, for putting up with my willful and demanding nature, engaging in mutual brain picking, and realizing the vision into text.

Oh and to Ewan McGregor, for making initial inspiration strike through his performance in Angels and Demons.

As I continue to work on this story, I can honestly say that I have been overwhelmed by the generosity and good will we've received from people, many of them strangers. This is a work born of love and about love; I hope the readers will feel that through our words.

To all the above, and all my gratitude for shuraiya for all her infinite readiness, patience, and diligence.

And without question for snowlight: for dragging me through this leading the path to realization, and for the push in making me believe I can do this.

We have, to the best of our ability, done research regarding the doctrines, rituals, and practices of the Roman Catholic Church. It is our intention to portray it in an accurate and respectful manner.

Although we have consulted a number of people knowledgeable on the matter, the mistakes remain our own. Aside from the parts attributable to artistic license, we would welcome any corrections and suggestions.
