Dreams to Last the Years is a 128-page het and gen Here Come the Brides anthology.

It contains twelve stories and some poetry.

Publisher's Summary

"This 130-page gen zine contains stories "full of hopes and full of fears; full of laughter, full of tears; full of dreams to last the years," as the theme song said, as well as poetry, a humor section, and a HCTB word search."

Editor's Notes

Story summaries appear at the end of this zine, so that the more adventurous readers will not encounter spoilers, and the more cautious can select the stories they'd rather start with. Also, readers will notice that some minor characters' names or spellings of them differ from story to story. If the name or spelling does not appear in canon, then this is the writer's choice and is not a typographical error or inconsistency.
