IMPORTANT! PLEASE READ!
Due to circumstances beyond my control, I haven't been able to update my website effectively recently, so this story is in text format for now. Eventually, this will change, so if you want to link to it for any reason, *please* link to this post. That way I can update here when I can, and you won't get stuck with a dead link. Thank you!
SPOILERS!
Obviously for everything in the Alpha Centauri series, and for much of season 2, and for season 3's "Sateda." Lots of spoilers for season 3's "Sateda." (Oh, and PTB? Thanks a whole freaking lot for sticking me with an entirely new character at the eleventh hour. Kisses.)
WARNINGS!
This story contains possibly inappropriate instances of: Ghostbusters, black & tan, yoga, knives, Blue Hawaii, mommy issues, daddy issues, song lyrics, sodomy, emotional core-dumps, fake alien words, minor characters, Rodney's sad eyes, and the Bible.
AUTHOR'S NOTE!
This story is dedicated to all the people who said, "I don't see how you're going to resolve this." Turns out, you'd be amazed what a mere 33,067 words can accomplish....
More particularly, this is dedicated to![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
thisisbone, who drove all the way to North Carolina to buy me lunch and beg me not to break her heart with this ending. She has both excellent taste in tall, dark alien men and a touching faith in my nobler nature, and is one hell of a writer, to boot.
Alpha Centauri is a trinary star system composed of a primary pair of yellow dwarfs (Alpha Centauri A and B) gravitationally bound to an outlying red dwarf (Proxima Centauri). These stories are a lot like that.

But yes, the whole series is fantastic and heartbreaking, and this ending is as good as it could possibly get. Bittersweet, and so very true to the characters you've shaped throughout the stories. Thank you very much for finishing!
