Author's Notes

*****

  • Title Origin: Believe it or not I put a lot of thought into this one. I didn't really want a one-word title, although I like them, but for some reason I thought something longer would work better here. Then, however, I hit on "Never" and stuck with it. It has several meanings: She can never love, Joxer can never know, and in the end, they'll never be together. :(
  • Episode References: Lyre, Lyre, Hearts on Fire, Eternal Bonds, Kindred Spirits, Livia, Eve
  • The Subtext Issue: I pretty much ignored it here, obviously. There just wasn't room for it, and it wasn't what I wanted to explore here, anyway.
  • Random Info You'll Never Do Anything With: This is pretty much "revisionist history"; takes a look at what we saw in season five and puts a skew on it, and on its possible meanings. The question really comes down to, do I believe that this was Gab's motivation? Mmmm, not really. But I found that it could be, in a sense, so a story came of it. I likes to play with the way we see things. ^_~
