AN: Hello, this is Fireflame. Yes, I'm alive- sort of. No, this is not good news.

I'm sad to say this story is officially, 100% dead. You probably forgot this thing existed, and I honestly did as well for a time. I skimmed over this story when writing my other one, and I am probably going to move on from this one for another one afterward.

My reasons for doing so? Well, I hate Yue Bing. The way I wrote her, at least. River Mountain, no disrespect for you if you're reading this. I'm sorry I dumpstered this story this badly.

So, initially Yue was supposed to share a bunch of personality traits of myself and it became awkward to write. I'll be honest, I just didn't like writing stuff that felt personal. It felt like a self-insert, and I always joked that if I was a self-insert that I'd die within the first three days. As well as a bunch of dumb relationships I was planning, recycling past characters that should have stayed dead, and bad choices with how I mirrored canon events- it was going to be a storm of bad ideas.

And I had another reason that I dropped this story. I had little to no direction with the story. I'm discontinuing this, so I don't feel as bad about spoiling my original plans from… dang- 2017?

I was planning on a big reveal somehow with the necklaces, with like them heating up or something whenever Yang and Yue were close (wow, I forgot about that plot. Or the fact that Yue had a necklace). Then do some sort of… interactions with Yue's team and Yang's. To be honest, I forgot what specific events I was going to put in there, it's been that long since I've thought about it. And then there was supposed to be the Breach, where someone dies in front of Yue's eyes and she blames Yang, goes off on her own, and…

As you can see, I really didn't have any idea where this story was supposed to go. I had maybe 2 parts down in a 5 part story, and I just didn't want to spend any time trying to develop it.

So here's what I'm going to do. I've already loaned Yue Bing for a friend to use, don't know if he's going to do it or not but I'm hoping it's better than what I did with her. And this story- it's dead. Discontinued. Finished. Sorry about this update after years, but I just can't bring myself to try and complete even the first ten chapters.

If anyone wants to try and salvage this story, be my guest. Let me know and it's all yours.
