Notes: Published by Requiem Publications, May 2005. The ATF universe was created by Mog, to whom I am forever grateful. There is a page on the internet with all the 'canon' regarding this AU. It states that Sarah and Adam Larabee died in 1993 in a car bomb meant for Chris, and that the ATF team got together at the beginning of 1998. I took that idea and ran with it. For those of you interested in checking the website, here's the link:

The title "The Book Of Counted Sorrows" and the quotes at the beginning of both parts were taken from two books by Dean Koontz.
The poem the priest reads in Chapter X is an excerpt from 'Desiderata' found in old St. Paul's Cathedral, Baltimore, and dated 1692. If you have the chance, read the whole thing.
Finally, I would like to thank the amazing ladies that made this project possible – my partner in crime, Sherri, for the wonderful beta, hand-holding and advise; Antoinette, Tehomet and Lyn, for the invaluable proof-reading; Kimber, whose constant support, ideas and medical knowledge made this so much better; Patt, for dazzling me with her artwork; Lumina, for pointing me in the right direction when I was at a crossroads; and last but definitely not least, Bast for the warp-speed editorial and for once again agreeing to publish one of my stories without having read it first.
On with the story. To have acess to the novella, all you have to do is click on Patt's gorgeous manips. For Part I click on Full Circle. For Part II on Blast From The Past. Enjoy!
