Sorry to have been away so long, this story is not over. I just lost my passion for it after the half-assed way Fairy Tail ended. I must say, I was Fairy disappointed in the rushed and uncohesive way the manga was dropped.

I will be going back through this and editing my writing structure and looking for mistakes. I also have an entire chapter to slip in around 9 or 10 that never got written. I'd toyed with the idea of making it a seperate oneshot but it really should be in this one to help give some vital information about Gajeel and Levy. I had been trying to stick too close to canon for events and timeline, but that just doesn't fit how I imagined for this story.

Be patient with my updating please. After my car accident it is very difficult to sit at my desktop to write. I usually have to spend hours a day laying down due to pain. I don't own a laptop, and there is no way I could write on my phone. I am also trying to start a homestead farm for me and my family and it takes up a lot of time.

I will try to breeze through the chapter cleanups, may change around a few things to please do go back and re-read once they start notifying. This will come down once the left out chapter is up and the rest all shift over.

Thanks for your support. This one shot idea got a life of its own on me and I've struggled ever since to relay what my imagination was creating.
