Wow guys – it's been a minute.

Thank you all for reviewing and following and like – wow. I uploaded this fic as a junior in high school and now I'm a (sort of) real adult. Time FLIES.

So the most important thing I have to say right now is that I WILL be finishing this story. I know it's been on hiatus for a heckin' long time now, but I'm going to do that, for you guys and for that hopeful high school junior I once was (and for the adult that wants to eventually write a book and needs to finish what she starts). I have always been inspired to write by you guys reading and leaving reviews and I'm SO thankful that you've been supporting me (some of you since 2013). I would not be anywhere close to where I am without you guys offering me feedback and encouragement about my writing. From the bottom of my heart, thank you.

So unfortunately the computer I was writing this story on completely died last year, so I lost a lot of the original copies of these chapters. as I've been reading through my story to re-familiarize myself with what's been happening, I noticed some errors in the technical portion of the writing. I've grown a lot as a writer (I ended up studying creative writing in college) so what's going to happen now is that I'm going to update and revise every chapter. The plot points are going to stay the same; the only things that are going to change are technical, with a couple of small revisions here and there to get rid of repetitive prose, as well as sharpen the writing up. Just in case you guys notice things being a little different later on, I'm just going back and smoothing some stuff over as I continue to write.

I'll be writing over the holiday, so expect an update in the next couple of weeks! Merry Yule, and Happy Holidays!

Much love,

PS: yes I DID change my username based on the amazing book 'Serpent & Dove' by Shelby Mahurin, which is absolutely amazing and I 100/10 recommend!
