Hi, this isn't an actual update to the story, but rather an update addressing the reviews I've been getting.
First and foremost, please do not think I'm trying to bash Ei/Raiden Shogun. I have nothing against the Aethernity/Either/whatever-Ei-x-Aether's-ship-name-is. One of my close friends, SentryForge, has written for it, and I enjoy it immensely.
I completely understand where your concerns are coming from, and I'll be sure to address them properly.
First, to the guest named "Missingmoney." I'm not trying to demonize Ei/Raiden Shogun, and I do have a sort of "redemption" arc coming from her later on in the story. I'm really not trying to bash/hate on her or the ship. You have my word. However, if you truly want to skip out, sure! I can't stop you, and it's really up to you on whether you wanna continue reading my stuff. :)
Secondly, to an unnamed Guest. Again, as I've said in my previous reply, I'm not trying to make Ei look evil to make Keqing look good, no. I'm mainly writing this for Keqing's birthday, but Ei does not play the 'villain' in this story. There's quite a different villain, as you'll see later in the chapters when released. Thanks a bunch for the complement, and I do hope you stick around! Again, if you don't want to, that's completely up to you. Do what makes you happy, alright?
Finally, to Windraider. Not sure what else to say, haha. I'm not sure as to who you're thinking I'm turning into a yandere, but believe me, I can't write a yandere character to save my life. My life consists of fluff and Angst with Happy Endings. I won't turn anyone into a yandere here, except maybe the true villain. And although I've never read one of those Ron demonization fics from Harry Potter, it's been mentioned to me many times by my friends, and I despise the creators who write things like that. Ron has a special place in my heart, given that I share a name with him. I'll never demonize characters, especially in my writing. You have my word.
Thanks to all of you who've been supporting me thus far, and I hope you will continue to do so in the near future! Until next time!
If you'd like to chat with me more directly, my discord server is always open! I probably won't respond right after this chapter because it's pretty late over here by the time this is releasing, but I'll be sure to answer you in the morning! discord . gg / zFvTHdFzry
