The story of a human girl and an enderman- the idea of this story was born in February 2014 as I was playing Minecraft with my husband and brother. I knew nothing of the community, only that I enjoyed this game I vastly sucked at and had a fondness for these aggressive, tall, and dark creatures. When I learned they could pick up roses, that won my heart. I told my brother of my story idea I wanted to write and he looked at me like I was crazy. He was probably right. Since I was working on two other fanfics at the time, this idea sat on the back burner for an additional 9 months. I told a family member about this idea and she loved it. After recently discovering TomBoy-Comics I now played with the idea of making a comic as well. My family member encouraged me to make a comic and together we built the world and lore around this pairing. The original comic ran from Nov 2014 to August 2016. That summer we took different [professional] paths as we pursued our own dreams. In October of 2016 I rebooted the comic with an "AU" idea I played with and decided to make it canon. The reboot ran until July of 2017. After a series of emotional hardships, going solo, getting consumed with work, I cancelled the comic and shortly after removed its existence off the internet. Now, on September of 2018 [the date this was written] I am ready to make a return and publish this story in the format of my original intention- A NOVEL. I know this change will not be met with the greatest of enthusiasm and I am certain I will lose most of my following. And I am okay with that. Because I know writing this story is the best delivery I can produce to share the complexity of the characters and their world. These characters are so dear to me and I am so grateful to everyone who fell in love with them too.

Thank you thehannchan for everything you did and sacrificed to help me make this world. Thank you Dark-Genesys for all your support and encouragement and help with the reboot. Thank you DrafgonII for rekindling my love for this story and your absolute devotion. And lastly thank you MidNight-Vixen you helped me get my first real start as a known artist and inspired me to give comics a try.

It is my greatest joy to now present you with, The End.
