Introduction


The story's setting is Shrek and Fiona's swamp shortly after the 
events of the motion picture "Shrek 2."  The story's title should 
indicate the premise.  For the rest, you'll need to read the story!

Fiona's outfit introduced in Layer 4 is inspired in large part on 
a design by Lunchpail from the concept art section of his excellent 
site at http://www.geocities.com/lunchpail12 and is used here with 
his permission.  He has also provided invaluable inspiration and 
feedback both on this story and my previous one.  I heartily 
recommend his site, which highlights his own superlative "Shrek" 
fanfiction, "Ugly Ever After."  That story is also available 
through fanfiction.net at http://www.fanfiction.net/read.php?storyid=416938.

I hope my efforts give you some enjoyment.  If they do, and it
makes life just a little more bearable if only for a very short 
while, then at least I've accomplished something.  Thank you.
