Author's Note – PLEASE READ THIS (especially if you've read the previous version of this story)

Hello, Readers!

Welcome to the new (new) revival and revamp of "In Your Presence". Yes, that's right, I have decided to come back (once again…) to this fanfic after another long hiatus.

I know, I know. I'm SO SO SO sorry.. truly I am! But you should know, for me… once I lose motivation, it's very hard for me to get back into it.

However, lately I've been reading and re-reading other Brittana fanfictions and I really felt bad for abandoning mine (even after I said I would commit to it after abandoning it for the first time) so here I am today!

This time, I'll be sure to write so much more than the previous version BUT I won't post it in instalments until I have enough content that will entice you to give this version of the story a chance and from then, I'll carry on writing.

The following chapters already posted are what I've been working on for a while now and have a few waiting to be posted until I've had any feedback.

Also, being this is another revival and revamp (I'm still sorry), there will be (more) changes to the story again – some you may already pick them up from reading the posted chapters.

I've taken some of the feedback into account AND also the original story this fanfic was based on - to make very important decisions.

In the previous version, a reviewer commented on the inaccuracies I've made concerning Santana's blindness. I appreciated and understood where they came from and I have hopefully made more appropriate decisions within this version.

The thing is, Santana's blindness is indeed an important factor within the story BUT if you give the entire fanfic a chance as a whole, it is so much more than that. I did not want Santana to be completely incapable of things just because she's blind. Blind people are able to do a lot of things so her blindness was not something I intended to focus on but I agree, the inaccuracies would not have made sense if you took careful notice.

Hopefully I made appropriate changes but bear in mind, this story goes beyond what you expect and I truly hope you give it a chance and like it. If you want to nitpick at all the inaccuracies then by all means feel free to let me know but I may or may not change it depending. If you don't like it, you don't have to read it. I know when I stop liking a fic, I stop reading it.

Taking more time to review how this story plays out in the long-term, I have decided to make changes to several things such as Britt's previous job, the characters that will be involved and essentially Santana's biology.

Yep, in this version, Santana has a G!P. Again, similar to her blindness… although it is a very important factor within the story, it is not something I will write too much into detail (if any at all) because a) I generally choose to avoid those types of fanfics so I'm not that well versed in it BUT it's important to the original story and I want to give it justice and b) It goes beyond what I'm saying.

IF you continue to stick with the story. You'll know what I mean… without giving too much away.

Rating of M stays the same and for the same reasons, not so much smut but there will be possible adult themes such as rape and violence. Again, I will not delve too much into these as they are touchy subjects but they will act as significant turning points.

ANYWAY, Thank you for taking the time to read this (even though it may be a bit confusing and vague) and hopefully you'll take the time to read what I have so far and hopefully like it!

I know the tense isn't consistent in my fic but I'm not an author so please bear with it!

Thanks again
