Hello everyone! I know it's been a very long while since I've updated this fic and while it still lives in a special corner in my mind it's been on the backburner for some time. Understandably, a lot has changed in my life since I started writing this fic back in 2012 long before I began posting. While I still have a very long way to go, I have a rather large and relevant life update!

Many of you long time readers may be familiar with the work of TykiWife, more specifically their fic "Louder than Words." I befriended TykWife back in 2015 and have been friends with them since then. As of January 2020 we've been dating and have since moved in together. It's crazy to think that our fanfiction and mutual love for d.gray-man and writing brought the two of us together despite the wide distance we lived apart. It's been a hell of a journey, and I couldn't have done it without your love and support. So while this fic isn't nessicarily dead, I felt it important to share a small part of what's come from writing it.

Never stop writing, never stop reading, and you know what? Find someone who loves the things you do, espically if they're just as obsesed with a fictional anime husbando and maybe, just maybe you'll make a funky lil gay partner out of them.

I love you honey. ️
