-- Author's Note --

Shortly after starting Book II (Homefront), I started having ideas of a different Sailor Sol. And to be honest, I was annoyed. I already had most of Book II outlined, intending to focus on the growing relationship between Celeste and Jonathan. I knew that I would probably have to do a Book III to do the Mara storyline justice. I didn’t want to ditch these storylines for what was then a half-formed idea.

As I worked on Books II and III, the alternate Sol storyline continued to percolate in my head. When it was still there as I was finishing up Book III, I knew I was going to do something with it. But what to do with it? It seemed pretty weird to do an AU of a fanfic that I wrote.

I had intended Book III to be the end of the story when I started it. I really didn’t want a story where Celeste and Jonathan are married, she’s still fighting creatures of the night, and he’s got a 9-to-5 job. I could have focused on the younger Scouts or even have brought new Scouts into the story. But this fanfic had been centered on Celeste, and I wasn’t going to change that just to get an extra storyline.

So, I returned to the option of just keeping it as an alternate storyline. Since it was an AU and not a true Book IV, I have labeled it as such. While many of the same characters may appear in this storyline, their histories and their relationships with the other characters have changed from the previous Sol story.

As always, any feedback will be appreciated. I hope that you will enjoy this new Sailor Sol story.
