ALRIGHT FINAL A/N BECAUSE I HAVE AN ANNOUNCEMENT!

OKAY so yeah I got reminded by vendetta7333 about a month ago about this fanfiction and I promised to update after 2 years of faffing about and forgetting and okay I apologise really very much.

I'm in the process of writing the chapter right now and I should (once I get my head down) be up by (at some point) saturday/sunday of this week.

Okay this is a very disappointing update but I am just putting this out there before I start feeling like a shitty person omg. (not that I don't already I mean it's been over 2 years or some shit idk)

would you guys like a taster?

I think you would.

Here's the first few sentences of the chapter.

"Katyusha sat by her brothers side, sighing as she placed a damp cloth on his forehead. She gave a weak smile as the younger sibling shifted in his slumber and his face relaxed. Their father had left early the previous morning leaving the Ukrainian girl in charge to look after her younger siblings. Ivan had been improving quickly considering his fathers brutal beating a few days prior but he looked ready to wake up in the next hour."

By the way I have bad news.

I'm working really hard on this chapter so if it isn't up by sunday I guarantee it will be up the following 2/3 weeks. (I should be revising really with exams coming up this week. i swear to god the school is trying to kill me with all these exams and courseworks /sigh)(changed to 2 ish weeks just incase i don't finish it by the time i go on holiday oopsie. after that no more excuses.)

The reason I am working so hard is because I don't think I will be able to update anymore after this one. I want to make it just right so I will not put a cliff hanger. It won't so much be the last chapter as I was originally planning on loads of chapters but hey ho.

Who knows

I might make a reappearance at some point

after this chapter

I guess it's a semi-permanent hiatus after the next chapter.
