Author's note: Flashbacks are in blue; thoughts in italics. Much thanks to vmtranscripts.com for canon versions of dialogue. Inspiration and some dialogue also taken from the original pilot script, original project notes, and pilot commentary, all available at Rob Thomas's website, www.slaverats.com.

Author's note 2: This project is almost certainly proof of my growing insanity. Since July, I've been amusing myself at odd moments by plotting this monstrosity out, and finally decided to get the first chapter off my hard drive and onto my LiveJournal. Thanks as always to my significant other/beta, vagajammer, for allowing me to bounce ideas off of him and for putting up with it all. And no, love, I still will not name this thing "Donut Dies".
