Hello, readers. Probably not what you expected as a first page, I know, but I feel it's necessary to include this author's note.
Whether you're returning or new, the message is the same, and I plan on putting this at the beginning of all of my re-uploads. I was once really active on here and had way more fics than what I currently do, but for personal reasons I deleted all of my works and closed my account for about a year. I do feel bad that I deleted everything, though, so even if I don't plan on being extremely active on here again, I still feel like I should give you all something.
That something are these: the fics that I deleted. I didn't save the little ones, but I did keep my long AU's, for which I was greatly known.
This AU was supposed to be a stand-alone, and I was trying to rush through it, so it's not the greatest, but it ended up being the prequel to Hellacious, the largest AU that I had. You don't have to read this before reading Hellacious, but it helps to have some context before jumping straight in.
This is just a straight copy-and-paste of the original story, so if there are typos or inconsistencies, that's why.
Hope you enjoy.
