Author's Note – This story deals with the aftermath of sexual abuse. I don't mean deals with it in the way we see far too often in fanfiction, where no one really gets hurt and some magic moment comes along that makes everything right with the world again. I mean deals with a character that is scarred soul deep and hurting in a way that may never completely heal. You've been warned.

That being said, there is a story here, as in, there's a whole lot more to the content that just dealing with what happened. It's not all dark and gloomy. Some parts are sweet or even funny.

Happy reading, and please let me know what you think.
