Hey guys, I know it has been over a year and a half since I have updated anything but I just want to fill you in that I will be copying all of my stories over to AO3 so they will be accessible there as well.

Now for story specific news. Even though I have not have the time or the motivation to write in forever I still intend to write it. It may take months or years but I want to write this story. Looking forward I know that if I am to continue this story I would have to completely start over. The chapters I have written and posted do not fit well into where I hope to go with this story. I have everything planned out, some little scenes written out that just need to pieced together. If any of you are interested in a massively condensed version of the story I am happy to respond, just send me a message and I will respond. I do not want to post it directly simply for fear of spoiling those that have the patience and would like to read it completely written.

My intentions for this story is to break away from the fanfiction and make it an original work. The characterization of Matthew and Francis in the long run do not match up at all with the show and I would like to just make this an original work and if necessary I will be changing names of characters.

I just have one spoiler for everyone though. It does have a happy ending in a kind of sick twisted kind of way. He does find peace.

I am happy to share with anyone what I have planned for the story but I will not be posting anymore as in my mind the story is no longer a fanfiction. These are not hetalian characters in this story. They are my characters and I would like to represent the story as such. I am rewriting this as an original story and cutting the ties it has with fanfiction.

If anyone is still interested I would love to have people review and to have the chance to share what I have. This is just not the place for it anymore.
