hey everyone! so, i'm back? and as it turns out, i kind of despise the way i've written this story so far. i told myself that it was going to be self-indulgent and that i wouldn't worry so much about the quality of the story, but turns out i'm even more of a raging perfectionist than i thought and just cannot handle that. that being said, i am not deleting or discontinuing this story. i'm going to be starting by updating all of the previous chapters with similar, but still edited, versions that i feel are a little better. once those are all fixed, i'll get back to updating!
for anyone who's still following this, thank you! i hope you're still interested enough to keep reading, and i apologize for the absence.
