Cold Light Melting - I
Author: Amber Michelle
Rating: T
Genre: introspective?
Warnings: n/a
AU/Canon: slightly AU.

Notes: Spoilers up to book 14, but I ignore some of the stuff that happened, or at least don't acknowledge it - maybe that makes this slightly AU. We're pretending the stuff at the very end didn't happen.
