<p> A young man from Swindon takes one more job to make money for the weeks groceries. The catch? He's a modern-day thief and work is unreliable. Kaid Gadai wants to quit; to give up on a life on the lam, to leave the life he's known since he was twelve. However, thieving is all he knows and the next job is one that only a person with his skillset would be able to pull off. A Sun-Run is ill-advised at the best of times, but it pays well and is just one step closer to a better path; His Road To Redemption. </p> <p> Never take the easiest path. </p> <p> The job goes off with a hitch or two, but the getaway is clean and kosher. Even a jaded man could have smiled at the reward, but what was the cost for success? Kaid quickly finds out and loses every iota of progress, soon to be stranded on a new world full of creatures unseen by any mortal, <em> sober </em> man. Will the skills he's gathered over the course of eight years be useful in a land where people trust complete strangers to watch their houses, or will the mannerisms and ways he's learned make him a pariah? </p> <p> Only time will tell. </p> <p> (Props to my Editors, AficionadoAvacado and j_i_m_s for all their amazing diligence and for putting up with my ass.) </p> <p> </p> <p> [I've been doing some rewrites as I've been posting these chapters. Some of you may already know from googling or whatever else, but this <em> is not </em> the original posting, and a good couple thousand words get added to recent chapters. More development, reasoning, and dare I say <em> logic </em> has been going in while scraping out the madness, and generally just making the story a better read. Won't say it's at its peak quite yet; early chapters before I committed to the rewrites are still below what I consider to be <em> my </em> standard. The original posting is on Fimfiction, and is littered with more grammatical errors, nonsensical choices, and frankly <em> idiocy </em> that wasn't funny or helpful in understanding the AU or characters. v1.0 wasn't horrible, or at least the reception wasn't, but there's always room for improvement.] </p>
