Hey bbs,
My god it has been ages hasn't it? A lot of things happened because of this fic. I met some individuals who changed my life, made good friends, lovers and well now a wife. I've both seen things and experienced more than I could imagine during the time of conjuring the story between Dakota, Caitlyn and Vi.
I started writing the Sheriff and the Soldier when I was 18 years old. It was a way for me to deal with family trauma and to work on my ability to create worlds and to connect better with the English language. I've learned grammar (still struggle with it a bit, sorry lol, especially for the first few chapters, I know how much of a mess that was), poetic explanations and a passion for telling stories. I've started writing my own book (that's been a journey of its own). I'm now in a different country half way across the world, living something I've always wanted to do; Exploring and being myself freely.
I am now 26 and see The Sheriff and The Soldier as an old friend I haven't seen since High school. And much like that old friend, you need to take them out for dinner and rekindle the old memories and gab on about what could have been.
I will be rewriting this story. I'm not pleased with it now; I've outgrown it and so has the lore. Arcane helped shape and craft a new way to see this story and for the first time in years, I feel that flicker of inspiration again. It also doesn't help that my Wife is a super fan and keeps poking and prodding for me to write it, lol. So be aware my glorious readers who have been here waiting both patiently and not. I am going to be crafting this winded out mess into a more polished version...WITH AN ENDING. Write that on my tombstone.
Stay Healthy, Happy and Heathenistic my lovelies, I'm not done with this story.
