Disclaimer: No permission has been granted, no money has been made, no infringement is intended. Acknowledgments: There isn't world enough and time to thank all of the people who ought to be thanked for their contributions to this piece. We do have time, however, to thank the ladies of the Box for their support and careful reading, Janis for her inspiration and encouragement, and Meredith and Jesemie's Evil Twin for their enthusiasm. The authors couldn't have completed this work without their help. Dedication: As corny as it sounds, the authors of this story would like to dedicate it to each other. As partners in crime, we feel it would be unfair to inflict the bburden on anyone else. :) Notes: January Sun began as a vignette Dawn sent to me several months back. It was a mood piece, something she had written without being sure what she wanted to do with it. One day, not too long after I read the fragment, she said "hey, would you ever want to collaborate on something?" and I said without hesitation, "I like January Sun." And a story was born. If only life were that simple . . .
