Author's Note:

Hello all. This is a long, long time coming. I have been gone for just about 5 years now and I feel like a horrible person for having disappeared for so long without notice or announcement or anything like that. The last I left this series I was going through a difficult period in my life. I'd like to say it got better from there but that would be a lie. It didn't get worse but life became rather hectic and I have been unable to actually write much of anything aside from stuff for school. That's right, I'm still in school after a much needed few years off and working (which I still work so my schedule is still wonky).

This note is going to be the same across the board for both fics that this will be posted in. See below for information pertaining to both stories.

Breaking the Barrier:

I adore this story. This story is my baby and I live it so much. However, I have recently realized that much is flawed with the story, issues that moved too fast and details that were rushed. I'm currently in the works of righting these wrongs for this story. The plot will generally stay the same with only a few parts missing here and there and stretching the 'Amber's ex is pyscho' plot line across this story and the next in the series as this feels like the best move for the story in general to refresh it while maintaining the dignity and spirit of it as a whole. I know it will be jarring and scary to watch what you have read in the past be revamped and changed and I hope you all will be with me for the ride when it happens. I'll be rewriting the story as a whole before anything gets posted so stick around. I'll be mass deleting chapters before I begin posting again instead of just deleting the story totally and restarting, I want to make sure that you all that are getting alerts will still get alerts if you wish to reread the story. I hope that you do and that you leave many kind reviews as you have in the past. I understand that many of you probably gave up all hope in me and probably haven't though of this fic in years. I have thought about it countless times and promised myself to come back to it. It took a while, but here I am.

Cross Roads:

I had/have many messages about this story. They stopped around this time last year as people began to believe I would never return to it. I have thought about this series for a while, it haunts me because these stories and ideas are my babies. I love it to death. I went through a rough patch when this was being written but I'm finally back. I know many have abandoned this story and I do not blame you. I hope if you get this alert you will come back and be patient with me. I am rewriting the firs part of this series and this story will be no different. It will still have the same general feel but it will be different. I hope that is okay.

To those who read all that, thank you. To anyone who leaves reviews or sends me messages: I'll answer as soon as possible. I don't expect the hugest of responses but maybe a few of you will be kind enough to reach out.

Thanks again for sticking around. Heres to many more successful updates and never letting life get the best of me again.

Love always,
