AN: Again, I cannot apologize enough. I'm trying to focus on the shorter ones first as I've been busier than usual with my mum. I'll do my best to catch up at some point (I don't yet know when) but I'll try to post as and when I have time. Enjoy.

They felt that if they could overcome their own fears alone, they could overcome anything together.
