A.N. Sorry for those of you looking for an update. This is for all of you waiting though, particularly a recent review.

First off I beg of you to review logged in. I truly desire to converse with you, and I cannot when you are posting as a 'guest'.

Secondly, I have not given up on this story. The truth of the matter is that this story was never really meant for anyone else, as cold as that sounds. Sure I want to share it, and I'm happy when it reaches you too. This story is a pure expression of my heart, my emotions and the pain I feel when I think of people that have heen hurt, brutalized, rejected, and many others, and in the end being molded into "evil".

Many would say there was no hope for them. But I think a lot of people underestimate love and empathy. Kindness.

The next chapter in particular is a struggle for me. Because this story is so dear to me I want to stay true to it.. but the person I want to reach is Severus, and I'm not sure how without complicating the story by bringing the 'light' side in.

This story has never been about the light side. It follows no timeline. Each of the chapters are supposed to stand alone as an expression of emotion. I don't desire to turn this into a comprehensive plot, and I have no idea how to tackle this problem yet.

Because this story is so emotional to me, I can't rush it. Please be faithful and patient with me. I will update, but I can't treat this like a normal story.

I'm sorry if I upset you. It was never my intention.

Instead I prevail upon you to reach into your emotions. Write a short amount, a scene on how you would reach the dark with your kindness. Keep it simple, pure. And then message it to me. I'll add it to this story and credit you.

There is no timeline, as I said, and no structure. The only rule I have is no romance or commitment to one person. This is not a romance story. Please share with me. Ignite your heart to flame along mine.

Thank you.
