This story is now complete, but I will be going into editing stage. I'm going to mainly fix up grammatical/spelling errors, but I'm also going to shape my story more and add some things that I've been wanting to add from the beginning that I didn't, etc. I don't know when I'll be going into editing, but it will probably be in a month or so. College is really going to be busy for me as a biochem major (x.x)... So, uh, thanks for your patience!

Oh, also... I'm going to be drawing some fanart associated with this fanfiction... So, if you want to check it out, just look up my username, mizu-no-hime on deviantart.

Thanks!!!

...Here's a song that I dedicate to AAML and that I think, really follows what I portrayed in the fanfiction.

The Japanese Lyrics are first, followed by the English translation of that stanza, and then the next stanza, and then the next translation, and so on... yadda yadda yadda.

ETERNAL SNOW - Changin' My Life (From the Anime "Full Moon wo Sagashite"

(Lyrics are from wo suki ni natte Dorekurai tatsu no kana?

Kimochi Fukurande yuku bakari de

Kimi wa Kono omoi kidzuiteiru no kana?

Ichido mo kotoba ni wa Shitenai kedo

I'm falling in love with you, and which will come to pass?

Will the feeling do nothing but swell, or

Will you notice it

Even though I've never said anything?

Yuki no youni Tada shizukani

Furitsumori Tsudzukete yuku

Like snow, but quietly

It continues to pile up

Hold me tight Konna omoi nara

Dareka wo suki ni naru kimochi

Shiritaku Nakatta yo

I love you Namida tomaranai

Konnan ja Kimi no koto

Shirazuni ireba Yokatta yo

Hold me tight if I think like this

I didn't want to know

What it was like to fall in love with someone

I love you; my tears won't stop

Therefore, I should be free of you

Kimi wo itsumade omotteiru no kana?

Tameiki ga mado garasu Kumoraseta

How long will I keep thinking of you?

My sigh makes the window glass fog up

Yureru kokoro Tomosu kyandoru de

Ima Tokashite Yukenai kana?

Now, a burning candle

Can't melt my shaking heart anymore?

Hold me tight Oreru hodo tsuyoku

Kogarashi Fubuki ni deatte mo

Samukunai youni to

I miss you Kimi wo omou tabi

Amikake no Kono mafuraa

Konya mo hitori Dakishimeru yo

Hold me tight, strong enough to break me

If we meet in a biting cold blizzard

I won't feel cold, and

I miss you everytime I think of you

This scarf that I knit for you

I'm holding it alone tonight

Eien ni furu yukiga aru nara

Kimi he to tsudzuku kono omoi Kakuseru no kana?

If there were an eternally falling snow

This feeling I have for you, could I hide it?

Hold me tight Konna omoi nara

Dareka wo suki ni naru kimochi

Shiritaku Nakatta yo

I love you Mune ni komiageru

Fuyuzora ni sakebitai

Ima sugu kimi ni Aitai yo

Hold me tight if I think like this

I didn't want to know

What it was like to fall in love with someone

I love you; my chest fills up

I want to cry out to the winter sky

I want to see you now

I found that song on an AAML video from youtube. Just type in "Eternal Snow" and "AAML" into the search box and the first one that comes up is it. (note: this video is in no way mine!) ... It's a beautiful song and video. ;

Anyway, I think that's all for now!! Thanks!
