A/N: Well guys, I've decided to start focusing on this story again by, well...rewriting the rewrite. I think I've improved even more since I made this, and could do it a lot more justice. I don't want Eli to be a self-insert, I want him to be his own character, his own person different from me, different interests, etc.

And now for the most important update: Eli will not end up dating Bonnie/Brandon. IF shipping happens, it'll be with Ryder/Toy Bonnie/whatever I decide to name him because I dislike the name now lol. I only wanted to last time to maintain faithful to the original, but to be honest I HATE the original. I wrote it when I was just a cringey fanboy who didn't know crap about a lot of things. I no longer like the idea of dating an adoptive sibling. It's gross. Yes, they aren't technically related, but to use that excuse when they're officially adopted is like saying they aren't part of the family. They are.

I would also like to formally apologize. I deeply, deeply regret the way I wrote Eli, and many of the other characters. Freddy could be borderline abusive at times. Eli had a twisted, glorified but demonized screw-up of a mental illness portrayal, and remembering how I wrote it makes me feel sick.

As far as some plotpoints go, this rewrite will be similar to the original story. But all of the things I hate about it are gone.

I also don't guarantee that I will rewrite the whole series to its conclusion or add the one-shot anthology.

Thank you all for your patience, and I hope you enjoy the real rewrite when it arrives soon.
