IMPORTANT: This is not a chapter update, I'm afraid, only an author's note. I do realize this goes against ffnet's rules and I do NOT plan to keep this, it will only be around for a couple of days so I can effectively alert the lovely subscribers of this story and then this note will promptly be deleted.

This story has begun exactly one year ago, on December 22th of 2011. It has been on hiatus in the beginning of this year and now, on December 22th of 2012, I have a few updates to make:

1) This story will NOT, in any way, be cancelled. I've made a compromise with any and every reader to not only this story, but to everything I write and while my fics may enter hiatus, I'll do my best not to let anything unfinished.

2) However, this story will have some changes in the publishing format. Since there are too many plots in just one story and they would eventually coincide, resulting in some to be forgotten along the way, I've decided to post each part (based on pairings) separately.

3) These separate parts will tell each pairing stories and you do not have to read all of them to understand the main story. I've also taken into account not everyone is okay with all the pairings in this AU –which is understandable, I'm not here to judge– so this way you can actually choose exactly what you would like to read!

4) I've rewritten the previous chapters that were posted on ffnet from this series and the new, better written stories will be submitted according to each story arc.

5) There is only one question I have left and it would be kind of you guys to give me your input:

Should I delete the previous chapters to this story (Wonders of the Unknown, Through Suffering, Red Stained Destiny, Not Reaching You) and start over or should I leave this story here as a memory? You've all shown quite the dedication following with this story even if it entered an almost one year hiatus and is now changing formats.

Either way, the new chapters will be uploaded but some, like Wonders of the Unknown, which is the first chapter from the USUK part, will remain almost completely unchanged.

.

To recap, here is the premise of this AU story and the containing story arcs and its pairings:

High School AU. As the end of the year is near, each student will face decisions that will shape their future and consequently, their relationships.

Arthur is an antisocial senior who is in love with his best friend, the smart jock Alfred F. Jones. Because the universe just loves him, more problems come along in his last year of school. USUK part.

Gilbert has finally reached a stable relationship and is slowly changing from his violent behavior because of his relationship with the shy Canadian, Matthew Williams. But his 'awesome' ideas are still as strong as ever and trouble is sure to arrive. PruCan part.

Antonio's dreams are about to be fulfilled as he has his future set in a lovely tomato fields right after finishing school. Well, almost all of them since a certain Italian is against his future plan, while still unsure of his own. Spamano.

While in a rush to add as much as possible to his curriculum in the ambition to study in a university back at his homeland, Ludwig immerses himself in many activities and studies and Feliciano slowly starts to feel alienated, lonely and deeply afraid of their future together. GerIta part.

They were in love and were perfect for each other; there was no doubt, for neither Elizabeta nor Roderich. And much less his parents, who are quick to form an official marriage for the couple as soon as they graduate. Not if Elizabeta can do anything about it. AusHun part.

Kiku rarely talked with anyone outside of his family and his few close friends, always trying to keep distance. At the end of the year, he is immersed in studies just as his colleagues, but an encounter with a Greek will change his perspective on absolutely anything. Giripan part.

(most parts won't be longer than 5 chapters and some will even be oneshots, such as the previously submitted Learning Prucan prequel/sidestory).

.

The premises are still the same and now that I have a more defined storyline now and some written chapters for all story arcs, it shouldn't take long to start this AU series.

Once again I want to thank each and every one of you who favorited, got alerts and reviewed this story. I believe the new format will be more appropriate and comfortable for you guys especially, so I hope you'll stick around.

Thank you very much,

I truly appreciate your support and will continue to do my best,

Fieldings aka LovelytoMeetYou
