As you can see, the articles span (almost) a year. I believe the last was posted in late July; the first - in early August. The dates form a cycle, an awesome knot in time - this season is also the season of the Martelli's marriage, and of Alex' acceptance of Laylah as a slave. The knot is made complete, the snake of time swallowing its tail, in the guise of what I called "Laylah's youth, part 3". Part 3 is an imaginary post, as the June tale of Laylah's youth was never continued; but at the same time it _does_ exist, because the early August post of the year before, "My early SM experiences...", ends that tale as if by design.For Laylah and Alex, the Days of the Sirius have brought endings and beginnings, and in their midst this series will now start.
Heya heya.
