Spoilers: Up to Jus In Bello. I shouldn't even mention how much this chapter was "Jossed" by the season finale. Actually, I was surprised by how close I got. After watching the finale, I was tempted to make a few changes to this chapter, just small things to bring it more into line with the canon. But, no. This is my vision of how it might have gone down; I'm gonna let it stand.
