This series is set in the same universe as the Horses of Different Colors series by James Walkswithwind and Wolfling, which you can find at http://gila.fakingsanity.net/horses.html -- I have, however, written it with the intention that it will still make complete sense to people who haven't read that series.

Thanks go out to James, who let me play in her world, and to rebecca, who wrangled commas (among other things) for me. I swear, I don't know what happend with the commas this time. All mistakes remain mine--especially since there are a couple of things she wanted me to fix and which I chose to leave.
