The final chapter of "Directions," which is the final story in my "Only Time" series. Thank you totestdog65 for participating in the long, complicated beta-ing of this chapter, tovlredreign for all the commas she had to move, and to all of you who've been with me for this journey. I'm not sure I can ever describe what it's meant to me. And yes, I really do want your comments; they mean the world to me!

This chapter is too long for one post; just follow the link at the end of this part to the second part.

This is the seventh chapter of Directions -- the earlier chapters are here.

Thanks to my beta, testdog65, and to vlredreign for a final polish!

There is a banner for this story, and it's on its way, but we're having a HUGE storm right now, and I'm kind of worried our power might go out, so I wanted to get this posted before it did.

Thanks to everyone for waiting so patiently while my life fell apart and rebuilt itself, giving me the energy to actually complete this story. And thank you for letting me know you're reading!

This is the sixth chapter of Directions; the earlier chapters are here.

Thanks to testdog65 for being a patient and wonderful beta, and to roc_abs for the banner and icon.

And thank all of you for reading and commenting!

Thanks to testdog65 for the genius of her beta-ing, to vlredreign for comma patrol, and to roc_abs for the banner and icon.

And thank all of you for reading and commenting!

Here is the fourth chapter of Directions. The first three chapters are here. Thanks so much to testdog65  for her wondrous beta skillz, roc_abs  for the banner and icon, and my darling little squishy honey bunch vlredreign  for slapping my commas around.

I apologize for the huge, long, endless delay in posting this chapter, but will make up for it by letting you know Chapter Five is already beta'd and ready to post -- I'll probably do it Thursday sometime, or possibly Monday if it takes you longer than that to read. You might want to let me know in the comments when you'd like the next chapter to go up.

Thank you for patience and thank you for commenting -- it makes me so happy to hear from you!

This is the third chapter of "Directions," the sequel to "Beliefs." Earlier chapters can be found here.

Lovely, lovely banner by roc_abs. Beta brilliance by testdog65. Comma -- or, in this case, hyphen -- fine-tuning by vlredreign. And help with Chinese proper names and language in this and subsequent chapters by the very gracious cryforwhat. Thank you all!

And thank you also to each of you for reading and letting me know you're enjoying the story -- I truly appreciate your comments, and they keep me writing!

This is the second chapter of Directions, the sequel to Beliefs. Chapter 1 can be found here.

Thanks once more to roc_abs for my banner -- customized for each chapter of this story -- as well as the icon she made to go with it. Thanks to testdog65 for being an amazing, tough beta, and to vlredreign for her wondrous way with a comma.

And thank you to each of you for reading and letting me know you're enjoying the story -- it makes me insanely happy!

This is chapter one of "Directions," which follows "Beliefs" in my ongoing "Only Time" series.

I'd like to thank testdog65 for the extensive and helpful beta, not only of this chapter but of the overall story. vlredreign gave it a final polish, and as always, roc_abs did her magic with the banner and icon. This story will be six chapters long, and KT is creating a separate banner for each chapter.

Thanks also to badbadpixie for assistance with one of the images I just HAD to have for the banners for this story. :)

As always, I love to know that you're reading, and I hope you enjoy it!
