Summary:

Sequel to "Filled Silence" set in the Post-Stockwell Era, Brian and Justin makes some decisions that will redefine their definition of the word 'relationship'. Although inspired by the concepts within "The Experiment" by Wren and "The Dare" by Edom, it's my take on what should have happened in the series. ENJOY!!!

To the Wonderful and Talented Lorie Austin, Thanks for being my beta, but most of all, my friend. I couldn't do what I do without you.

Summary:

Thanks to Liberty Sun/Marny for the fantastic banner!"

A novel length re-telling of the Little Mermaid,w/QAF characters inserted.  WARNING! This is not the Disney version rather an homage to the superior work of Hans Christian Anderson. There is both a sad and happy ending. To keep the sad ending do not read Dawn of a New Day. Although to date, I don't think anyone has done that. If you are still with me, ENJOY!!! Reviews, good and bad are always welcome

I consider this my best work to date.

Orginally updated and finished, May 7, 2011

UPDATE: Dec./2024 : I was re-reading the story and making minor edits when I realized I'd left out an entire chapter on this site. Added Chapter 6 Part 3 The Second Dinner (just before: Interlude: In the Midnight Hour.) Story is now complete.
