Wow. This has been a long write. I hope everyone had as much fun reading it as I have writing it!

Nathanael's turn to the dark side was the most fun. I wanted to balance him out so that it actually made sense in the story rather than just something angsty thrown in there because reasons.

Honestly, I tried to end this on chapter 20, but you could see why that didn't work.

The story isn't quite over though, just cause this portion is complete! Never fear, there's more to come.

Part 2 is The Bee and Her King and I'll have that out to you by next week, so stay tuned.

I loved reading all your reviews and watching the number of followers increase. It was probably my favorite part, tbh. Special thanks to all of you who kept with me from the very beginning. Anyway, I didn't want to disrupt the flow by putting author's notes throughout, so here is going to be a big dump. For those that just wanted to know about the sequel, there it is.

Still here?

Okay.

First, thanks to Pandamonky12 for the first ever review! It was so long ago, I'm sure you've forgotten by now, but thank you anyway.

To riptidedarkphoenix, I definitely ship Nathanael and Marinette. I just think they're absolutely adorable. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to include that in this part cause, well, the story just didn't lend itself to them actually getting together. I may do a version or drabble of Nathanette in the future. Idk.

Shiranai Atsune and Momijifan Low-Key, I loved your reactions. They really made my day.

Nari-nee-chan, just make an account. Like seriously. I would probably pm you all the time if I could. You're like one of my favorite people that review this. I mean it.

Also Kuroyuki no Ryu, I don't know what else to say, but srsly thank you. Your comments just always seemed to come when I really needed them the most.

Chaton Jaune and Shiningheart of ThunderClan, you guys srsly crack me up.

For everyone else that I wasn't able to get to with this... I read every single comment. So trust me when I say it was appreciated. The people above are the reason, however, that the fic got to be this long, so please say a thank you to them too.

Anyway, thank you all. I look forward to the next part.
