Author's description: I’ve chosen to post this as a website extra because it is, in essence, authorial fanfic. It’s set after the end of Turning Darkness Into Light, and I think of it as fanfic because it doesn’t remotely stand on its own, nor is it aiming to present the type of conflict and resolution we expect from a normal short story. It’s just me partially tying up a thread that I deliberately left dangling in the novel, but which—at least in my mind—cries out for some kind of eventual closure. Bear in mind that, as it takes place after Turning Darkness Into Light, it contains MAJOR SPOILERS for that novel. (And also for The Memoirs of Lady Trent, in one specific aspect.) It’s unlikely to carry much weight regardless for anyone who hasn’t read the preceding story.
