for helping me make people think that they might want to read this book;

everyone at Berkley who has helped getting this manuscript in shape behind
the scenes; Rian Johnson, for doing The Thing that inspired me to do All
The Things.

The truth is, I never saw myself as someone who’d ever write anything
but science articles. And I probably never would have if it hadn’t been for

all the fanfiction authors who posted amazing pieces online and encouraged
me to start writing myself. And I certainly wouldn’t have had the guts to

start writing original fiction if it hadn’t been for the support, the cheering,
the encouragement, the con-crit I got from the Star Trek and Star

Wars/Reylo fandoms. To everyone who has left a comment or kudos on my
fics, who has given me shout-outs on social media, who has reached out in
DMs, who has drawn art for me or made a mood board, who has cheered

me on, who has taken the time to read something I’ve written: thank you.
Really, thank you so much. I owe you a lot.

Last, and let’s be real, also definitely least: some half-hearted thanks to
Stefan, for all the love and the patience. You better not be reading this, you

pretentious hipster.
