Notes: From the time I wrote “Rebirth”, it intrigued me to speculate on how Ed’s second life in the Curtis family might unfold—and what would happen when his true identity caught up with him at last. The ideas were so compelling that, unlike most of my open-ended Things That Never Happened tales, the story demanded a sequel. I am usually not one to linger in alternate universes, but the richness of the emotional bonds in this one made it a great pleasure to further explore.
As always, my thanks to my cheerleader/idea-bouncer kristensk, who particularly helped by suggesting the villain of the piece.

PLEASE NOTE: Before you read this story, I strongly suggest reading my much shorter story “Rebirth” first. The backstory it provides is important to fully understanding the circumstances here.

Notes: Presented as a Fandom Stocking gift for leni_ba. This is a sequel to my ficlet “That Which Doesn’t Kill You…”, but the brief backstory is provided, so it can be fully understood on its own.

( Kain Fuery frowned and scratched his head, squinting down at the envelope in his hand. )
