Author's Note: So, this is my first fanfic ever - the first ever published, that is. The format for the fic, if you were wondering, will be something along the lines of 100 words for four chapters, then 1,000 every fifth chapter. See my profile if you want to know more about the plot or if you want to know when the story will be updated.

Now, I'm a reader as well as an author, so I know you're sitting there thinking something along the lines of, "Eh, I should review. I don't really want to, though, nor do I feel like it," and I get that. However, it would be nice if you reviewed :)
