Series Summary: Sometimes the greatest blessings can come amidst the worst of tragedies.

Author’s Note - Cat: I expected this to just be a one off fic that I wrote to satisfy a prompt, but it’s turned into so much more. This muse just took over and writing has been so easy. Consider everything as "cannon," or as you know it, until D’s death. I’d love for this to be a current series so do check back.

Author’s Note - Zippit: I never expected another universe, but Junior insisted on a companion piece to Painful Blessings and then they were off. Junior, being Junior, decided to create blogs and those were a fun, new addition to the universe. Hope you enjoy and do check out the blogs.

Junior has created blogs for Kevin, as a way to keep people updated on Johnny and Lana’s progress, and for himself to jot down his own private thoughts. It is not necessary to read these to follow the storyline as major events will take place in fic form, but there will be added insight and some minor events that will only be chronicled in the blogs. Think of it as bonus material. You can find their blogs here:
