Note

Hi everybody! Please be warned this is my first fanfiction so please bear with me while I figure this all out. I would greatly appreciate any feedback. This was born out of boredom so hopefully I will find the will to continue it past the first few chapters. This first one is quite long, the next few aren't as long but I needed to set up the story properly. I live in the Southern Hemisphere and as such have just started school holidays for a month or so, so hopefully updates will be consistent if this gets enough love to warrant continuing with it. If this continues past the holidays though we'll have to cross that bridge when we get to it, but be warned I am quite bad with deadlines so you'll have to bear with me again, but anyway I hope you enjoy! Again please feel free to leave some feedback, it would be greatly appreciated.

Hello everyone!

I think we can just collectively all agree to ignore anything I ever say about when I'll update and just hope for the best.

I've been very caught up over this Christmas with family and all that fun stuff, I thought I'd have time to still write and upload but alas, t'was not to be I'm afraid.

The next chapter is really important to me so that trying to get it perfect mixed with my lack of writing time because of Christmas is my excuse for my absence.

That being said, I hope everyone had a Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, Blessed Yuletide or just a generally good end of year for whatever you celebrate or even if you don't.

I'll have you an update before the New Year fingers crossed (keep in mind the first sentence of this speel).

That's pretty much all from me though so again happy holidays or end of year to you all! Hope you all have some New Years resolutions to set then never achieve just like I do.

Thanks for reading!
