a.n. Here is a new story that's been bouncing around in my head for awhile. I know I said I'd try to finish my other two short stories first, but i couldn't just leave this to rest. This will be my first long, multi-chapter fic once I get started on it and I can't wait. Let me know what you think.

For the thin, eternal line that separates space and time is chaotic, always in doubt. But if one were to cross this threshold, this space-time continuum, it would be found that histories could be rewritten, paths altered, and destinies changed…
