Comments and Disclaimers for "untitled vamp!fic"

A/N: Ever had scenes for a fic running around in your head, refusing to go away? That's the origin of this work of strangeness. For five years now I've been seeing bits and pieces of this one in my mind, like clips of a movie, over and over until finally, a few months ago it all came together enough for me to make it into an actual story.

This is one of a number of Jett/Joxer pieces I was working on then and it's also the longest, coming in at around 326 KB. That being the case, this is getting posted in parts. Many parts over many days. Possibly weeks.

It's an...odd thing, I'll admit to that right off. Much of the weird and almost non-existent on the smut. The "R" rating is actually more for the torture scene than anything else. (I'll give appropriate warnings when that part is posted.) Frankly, I had a hella good time just messing with the plot on this and sex would've screwed with it. Sure, there be slash here, but not explicit and you have to wait for it. There's also definite het leanings, nothing graphic though.

I've let this piece sit for months now, occasionally going back and making changes, self-betaing, etc., and I think it's about as presentable as it's going to get when left in just my hands. There's no title for the moment and I'm not sure if there ever will be; I just can't pin anything down that works.

I realized too late that I'd taken canon at face value when I should've known better. In mythology Helius was the god of the sun, not Apollo. However, in the shows it's Apollo who is presented as god of the sun and I went with that here. It's become too big a part of the whole story line to change now and at least I can say it has a basis in canon and isn't solely fanon.

This is a nominal crossover with the series Forever Knight (the official site is long gone so no link, sorry). Nominal in that it uses a character who never appeared onscreen and was only mentioned once in the third season ep, "Ashes to Ashes." Only one transcript exists for that show and the spelling of that character's name is highly suspect as it was phonetically done. That being the case, I did some research on Ancient Egyptian names and came up with the name I believe is correct, "Kadjadja" which is likely pronounced "Kahaha."

I've attempted to abide by the FK rules for vampires as laid out here, but I may have made a deviation or two where it was impractical. It won't be anything really noticeable though.

This story picks up a couple months after the Xena third season episode, "King of Assassins" and takes place before the Hercules fourth season episode, "Armageddon Now" part 1. This makes a lot more sense if you've seen the Xena ep as it's referenced here quite a bit.

Pairing(s): Jett/Joxer, Joxer/f

Warnings:
R for bits of language, m/f, twincest, violence and torture.
