PLEASE READ BEFORE YOU GET ATTACHED TO THE STORY
Please have an open mind to all of this.

This includes; a disclaimer, a note with the reason as to why I'm rewriting ASM, a trigger list, and sort of a dedication/ note to my friend.
This is how I'm getting rid of any notes between chapters.

Quick thanks to those who gave reviews. I really appreciate the encouragement, even if it's anonymous
Seriously, I have no real idea of if anyone is enjoying this anymore. If you don't mind, please leave a review.
I would sincerely appreciate it.

Disclaimer: I do not own Fairy Tail or it's characters. I do not have any rights to Fairy Tail. If the author, Hiro Mashima, wishes for me to take it off, I have to. This isn't canon in any way. I used my own experiences and knowledge to write this, along with some details from the canon storyline up to the Grand Magic Games Arc.

Note:

Hey, it's been a while.

So, I have more skill and more experience than when I first started and the original just seemed like a disgrace to me. Harsh words, and I know I beat myself up a bit too much. At least I'm honest. It was good, but very poorly executed. Someone once told me that the best writing comes from when someone uses their own experiences and when they write about what they know.
I'm going to upset someone with what I've done, but it's what it was meant to be.
This is how I see the characters.
It does have comedy, but it also has some deep and dark shit. (I curse a fair amount in this)

My promise for a lemon will be broken. You can't force me to write that, otherwise, it will be very awkward and a piece of shit.

If you DID like the original, sorry, but it has to be improved. I was a stupid kid when I wrote it. This might be better.
If you DIDN'T like the original, you may like this. The grammar and fullness to the story it being improved.

Spoils to a degree from here on out!

TW List: I don't want to upset anyone and cause a relapse. Read this if you think you'll have a problem with anything.(This is what ASM was supposed to be. I just got stuck and never went anywhere with it on Fanfiction.)

*Overcoming PTSD (Guess what the story is about!)
*Abuse (Just about every type) (Heavy)

Added to the list after the first few chapters:
*Suicide (Heavy)
*Rape (Heavy in late chapters)
*Addiction (light, but it's here)
*Mental illness (the psychosis symtoms kind)

Dedication:
(You don't have to read this. This is for me more than anyone else)

The world is really sick and fucked up. It's okay to cry and hurt no matter who you are. It's okay to not want to talk about it. Life can suck ass and be so confusing. However, not matter what happens, we have each other. We still have those families that we create after birth.

To the friend who I know is going to read this story:

Heyo! Sauh, dude?...
I hope you understand what I'm doing and why. If you need to ask, you have my number. A call is preferable.
You are apart of my family. We're still getting Fairy Tail tattoos when we turn 21. Co- bitches for life.
Thanks for being there and staying with me through it all. It isn't over, but in case of any future bumps, I'll say thanks now.

To the people still struggling:

Not everyone will understand your pains, but I'm here fighting with you. Life is a bitch. I can't take another loss. I care too much and it really hurts to see people leave. The stories that have been shared with me are weaved into ASM. No one directly mentioned. Just the shit that haunts me still. Some of this does have to do with what happened to me.
If you have trouble relating, this story may help.
If you have a sensitive trigger, don't read it. Please don't. I want you to stay safe and as sane as possible.

For the people I've lost:
You taught me some of the most important things in life. You were some of the people who knew what to do to help me. You helped me come out about my struggles and how to better cope with them. I don't blame you entirely for what has happened. I will never hate you for what you did, but know that it still hurts for me most days. I can still hear her screaming and crying for you to wake up. I can still picture the all the blood. I don't think it's ever going to go away. You know how terrifying it is to walk into a public bathroom? I know you did it in your own, I'm just scared of finding someone else like she did. It's been 3 fucking years and I'm still so scared. Your deaths helped me understand what a successful suicide or overdose does to the people around your life. It's a lot like knocking over a line dominos and trying to set them up again with someone who has OCD. If there is an afterlife, I hope to meet you there one day. I really miss you guys.
I'm not mad.
I'm just suffering a lot more than I use to.
