Note from the Author: After 12 long years of posting to FFN, I've gotten tired of keeping up two accounts for my writing. Therefore, I will be retiring my FFN account. All future updates will be posted to my Ao3 account, the link to which can also be found in my bio. This includes the future completion of THIS story. Thanks for all the years of love and support, and I hope to see you in the future. -3 Artie
