Chapter twenty five
Laxus couldn't believe that he had gotten roped into setting up Erza's first date. He had plans before whatever that was happened. He didn't have the words to explain the horror of seeing Erza dating. None of the males in the guild could possibly explain it. It was a type of horror that could only be shared amongst the males that had grown up around her.
It wasn't like he couldn't understand that people saw her as beautiful. Laxus knew that objectively she had grown into a beautiful young woman but he couldn't see her in that way. He didn't want to witness any of it. He still saw her as that tiny little bitch who somehow made it her job to keep Natsu and Gray in line. She was sort of cute and terrifying at the same time as a kid.
Things in the guild had been changing. For the past two years things had been changing. If he really wanted to put his finger on when things had begun to change it would be when Lisanna was nearly killed by Elfman. Natsu saved her and everyone went on some sort of training trip.
Everyone just seemed to be growing up and stepping into different roles. Cana found her father and that changed their dynamic. Natsu was more mature and responsible which rubbed off onto Gray. The girls were less hidden smiles and longing glances and more ready to keep a steady relationship. They were all maturing which was something that he never expected from them.
Bisca and Alzack were definitely dating. They were keeping it quiet. A lot of people were waiting for them to start dating and they were trying to avoid the attention. It was obviously a new relationship and they wanted to be more comfortable with it before anyone got involved in it.
They also weren't hiding it the way Natsu had hidden Lucy. No one knew anything about the blonde woman until she crashed into their life with their daughter. Bisca and Alzack just weren't obvious about their new affection. They wouldn't lie if anyone asked but they weren't going out of their way to let everyone know about them.
Mira had slowly become kinder and more motherly towards everyone. She still got annoyed and punched people who took their casual flirting too far. However she wasn't as high strung as she had been in the past.
Elfman and Evergreen were doing something. He didn't even want to know how that worked but there was something between them. Laxus had gone to her apartment to pick her up for their usual training session and he had seen things that no one should ever have to see. He would have been less horrified if he caught them having sex.
Laxus walked in and found Evergreen cooking for a shirtless Elfman. She explained that they ran into each other earlier in the day and she spilled coffee on him. She invited him to her apartment, washed and dried his shirt and then decided to feed him. They were waiting for his shirt to dry while the food cooked. She also completely forgot about their training session.
He walked into the kitchen and everything was really cozy and warm and intimate. He felt like he had been intruding on something private. Evergreen had been blushing and Elfman wasn't yelling about being manly or whatever. Laxus turned into lightning and disappeared faster than he had appeared.
Gajeel was technically a new addition to the guild. However Levy had been the guild since she was kid. Levy was a quiet little bookworm and she had somehow managed to tame a dragon slayer. Gajeel wasn't very out-going and he didn't have many friends. He was rude and brash but it was more than obvious how much he loved Levy.
He orbited around her like she was the center of the universe. He looked at her like she was his everything and it was something that everyone could see. Their relationship was more tangible and obviously very new but it was something that everyone could see.
Jet and Droy were heartbroken. Laxus didn't know what to do with them. They spent a lot of time going on missions by themselves or with Laki. Levy and Gajeel went out together and they didn't want to intrude on their private time. Team Shadowgear were still a team but they were making time for other people. There was a lot more mingling with everyone in the guild.
Everyone in the guild seemed to have their relationships move in a new direction. They had all grown up together and they weren't exactly kids anymore either. Laxus highly doubted that anyone was truly ready to settle down and start popping out babies. However they were less childish and irresponsible.
The only married couple in the guild currently was Natsu and Lucy. The two of them were content being married, raising Wendy and going on adventures together. They weren't ready to start a family. Natsu nearly went white at the mention of Lucy being pregnant. Natsu wasn't ready and he knew that Lucy wasn't ready for that step in their relationship.
However he was slightly different. Laxus knew that he was older than the others. He was already twenty three years old. He had some sense knocked into him a while ago and he had been looking at life very differently ever since that happened.
In the past, with his family history he had never given much thought to having a wife or any children. Laxus knew that his mother died in childbirth and his father was a deadbeat but his grandfather had tried. Heaven knew the old man tried but Laxus had somehow found himself spiraling down a dark path that consisted of him craving power.
Looking back on his life he couldn't understand his actions anymore. At some point he thought that he was doing what was right. He believed that he would be a good guild master and that he would bring respect and honor to the guild. There was a voice in his head that told him that his thoughts were exactly the type of thoughts that would have made his father proud.
There was a time in his life that all Laxus ever wanted was his fathers approval. He had pushed away everyone who tried to show him the error of his ways. After all what kid didn't want their parent to be proud of them? Then Siegrain came along with Mystogan and everything changed.
When they first went along their little adventure, Siegrain had spent most of his time kicking his ass. Mystogan would come and try to talk to him or help him afterwards but Laxus always rebuffed the help. There was some conversation between them about the truth of the relationship between Mystogan and Siegrain but Laxus was still mostly an asshole.
Laxus had been one of the few people who knew about Edolas. He had been shocked to find that Mystogan had taken in his counterpart as his brother. They were going around telling people that they were twins. The change had blindsided him mostly because he knew how hard Mystogan had worked to make sure that he never came across his counterpart.
Laxus always respected Mystogan and he was curious to see who would win in a fight between them. The two men never truly spent a lot of time together since Mystogan didn't spend a lot of time around the guild but they were friends. Mystogan was one of the few people who didn't judge him when he started being more of an asshole than usual.
Mystogan understood where Laxus was coming from. He did not approve and he knew that the path Laxus was walking would only bring him pain but he knew that no one would be able to stop him. Mystogan was one of the only people in the guild who knew that some lessons could only be taught through experience.
Mystogan hoped that Laxus wouldn't do anything unforgivable and he tried to be there for him whenever he could. Laxus had a lot of good qualities but most of those good qualities had become twisted. Mystogan was sure that with some time and maybe an ass kicking he would come to see sense.
The blue haired man was not blind to his friends faults. He just hoped that he would be able to save him when he finally looked back on the road he was walking. He would realize that he had ended up somewhere he didn't want to be.
The three men had spent the first day or two going through everything that happened in Edolas and how Mystogan had chosen to stay in this world. Mystogan left out the part where it was Lucy who helped him with Edolas. They didn't have an explanation for that.
Mystogan had been researching the connection between the worlds for a long time. It wasn't completely unbelievable to think that he would have found a way to remain in this world if he had the chance. It was his mission to ensure that he could cut the connection between the two worlds.
Laxus always assumed that Mystogan would go home if he had the chance. He would have ended up being the King of his people but the other man had refused. His family had ruled in their world for a long time and they had been failing their people for longer than he liked to remember.
Mystogan knew that the best thing for his world would be for them to rebuild and start anew. They couldn't do that if they were being ruled by the same people who had brought that disaster upon them. Laxus didn't fully understand his decision but he respected it.
Laxus still didn't see the error of his ways until they encountered the dream mage. Laxus had been trapped in a life where he had tried to take control of the guild and failed. Gramps had excommunicated him and he lived a long time in misery. He spent his time after leaving Magnolia alone and friendless.
The illusion shattered not very far into the future, only about ten years but for months afterwards every time he looked in the mirror he saw Ivan. Every child thinks their parent is perfect and Laxus was not exempt from those thoughts.
When Ivan had left because his own father had thrown him out of the guild, Laxus didn't understand it. He couldn't comprehend turning his back on his own blood. To him his father couldn't be wrong so it had to be Gramps that was wrong.
He had been bitter and that bitterness had begun to eat him alive. Thanks to that dream mage he had seen his fathers faults and he saw the same faults in himself. It terrified him and for the first time in a long time Laxus had taken a look in the mirror and he didn't like what he saw staring back at him.
It wasn't long after his return to the guild that he noticed the differences in everyone. The root of the changes came from Natsu who somehow managed to get married without anyone knowing about it. It was possible that he saw just seeing his guild mates people for the first time in a long time. He wanted to know these people and care about them the same way his grandfather cared.
Laxus couldn't understand why everyone seemed to think that he liked Mirajane. When they were younger Mira and Laxus were close friends. He would spar with her when she was still learning control over her powers. She was still timid and sacred at the time. Laxus spent time with her and he enjoyed pulling her out of her shell. Then she became the she-demon and her arrogance started to annoy him.
Laxus was still pretty sure that the only reason her confidence and arrogance annoyed him was because she had become so similar to him. He had watched Mira become a beautiful and fierce woman. Unlike Erza who was like a little sister or something to him Mira was his equal. He acknowledged her power and beauty but he didn't think about her like that.
The reason why Laxus couldn't think of Mira as a romantic partner was because of the woman standing in front of him. Her name was Adrianna Miller and she lived in Magnolia. She owned a bakery and they met the first night that he had returned to Magnolia after his life changing experiences with the Terror Twins. Honestly in another life time he would have walked right past her.
She lived in the apartment above her bakery and one of her employees had locked her out of the building. It was raining heavily and she was soaked to the bone. Laxus fried her lock with a bolt of electricity and let her into the building. She told him to come back the next morning and she would have a reward for him.
Laxus was curious about the dark haired purple eyed beauty in front of him so the next morning he went back. She served him some coffee and a slice of cherry pie. It was honestly the best thing he had ever tasted and he kept going back. They chatted and bonded and he spent a lot of time explaining why he wanted to be a better person to her.
Adrianna was a calm person and she had never been a fight in her life. There was just something so peaceful about being with her that she soothed wounds that he didn't even know he had. Adrianna never judged him for the path he had taken. She seemed to respect him even more for being able to look in the mirror and realize that he needed to be a better person. He wanted to ask her to marry him.
It had been over a year now that she was in his life and he never introduced her to the guild. To be honest, Laxus had enjoyed her company and the peace that she had brought him. He didn't want to share her with anyone. He decided to ask her before the S class trials in a few months and if she said yes then he would introduce her to Gramps after the trials.
That was always a busy and stressful time for everyone in the guild. When they got back they could celebrate someone being promoted and introduce her while everyone was partying. Laxus wasn't ready to settle down completely but he wanted someone to share his life with and he was sure that the right person would be Adrianna.
He saw the way Natsu looked at Lucy and he was sure that he felt the same way towards Adrianna. She was currently cooking them supper and when she caught him staring at her she smiled. She walked around the counter and kissed his cheek. Laxus had never felt more content in his life. It was a feeling that he never thought he would have and a type of intimacy he was once afraid to have.
Adrianna had walked into his life in the moment that he had decided to take a chance on someone. Laxus met her at a time in his life when he was open to having a real relationship with someone. The person he had been in the past would never have acknowledged her. She was wife material and Laxus would have run far away from any woman that was wife material if he was still in his other mindset.
Natsu and Lucy spent their month doing small jobs, training and generally just enjoying their down time. Ever since Natsu had his talk with Wendy there was a new type of bond between the three of them. It was nice to just be a family for a while without getting blown up or running for their lives.
Lucy and Wendy even made some time to go visit her father at their estate. Jude had been thrilled to have his granddaughter in his home and showered the little girl with endless gifts. The news of her husbands title as a wizard saint had been spread through the upper society. Lucy couldn't help but feel a thrill at rubbing his accomplishments in their faces.
Wendy seemed to think that her mother was insane or over reacting until she had a lunch with some of the other young women. Wendy hated them and Lucy couldn't help but laugh. She had warned her plenty of times that those young girls were cruel but gentle Wendy couldn't believe that anyone would be cruel just for the sake of being cruel.
It didn't take long for the time to pass them by and Lucy knew that the Master had left once again to go to the regular meeting. When he returned it would be the beginning of yet another grand battle. Lucy had spent a lot of time digging into Angel and she was frustrated to find that she couldn't find any information on the woman. She was still a part of the dark guild but she couldn't find any information on the type of magic that she could use.
Then again even Hibiki had a hard time finding out any information on the dark guild and their magic. They were able to find some type of information but Cobra was a dragon slayer and no one knew that until he faced Natsu. They didn't know Angel had been a celestial mage until Lucy fought her.
They knew that Racer used speed magic but they weren't sure who Brain was or how he got the information about Nirvana. It was assumed that he once worked for the magic council but no one was sure how true that was. They never found his real name.
Midnight wasn't an enemy that Lucy had faced. She was not even there to witness the battle but Erza had defeated him easily. He had a type of reflector magic. Hot-Eye used a type of earth magic that softened the earth and he had been turned to the light thanks to Nirvana.
Then there was the fact they all acted as seals for the other personality that Brain carried. She couldn't even remember what he was called. They would have no choice but to face him once more because the body link magic would break once they were each defeated.
However since Siegrain wasn't comatose, Brain wouldn't have a reason to kidnap Wendy. Lucy had confided in Natsu that Brain wouldn't have the option of healing Jellal. That meant they couldn't use him to lead them to Nirvana. She was worried what they would do to find it without that option.
The next morning when Natsu and Lucy got to the guild they were just in time to hear the Master announce that three guilds had joined together to form an alliance. Blue Pegasus, Lamia Scale and Fairy Tail were going to take on Oracion Seis.
Natsu stepped forward, "Who is gonna go?"
Master hummed in thought, "Natsu, Lucy, Erza, Gray, Wendy and Siegrain."
Erza frowned, "Should we really take such a large group? Oracion Seis has six members. We don't want to take too many people especially if the other guilds are sending their members."
Lucy nodded her head, "Siegrain once worked with the magic council. He would have information of what magic they're looking for or where it is located. Wendy is capable of using healing magic. While we are all capable fighters we cannot ignore the need of a healer in such a team up or the fact that Siegrain may have useful information."
Laxus nodded, "We also cannot forget that you are all able to work as a team easily. Mystogan and I are heading out on another job. Gajeel and Juvia aren't here either. Mira refused to go and she works more as a solo fighter than a team player. We need people that are able to adapt to other team mates and most of us don't work in teams often."
Lucy had actually overlooked that fact. She had once been confused when the Master insisted that Team Natsu take on this request. In the other time line Laxus and Mystogan were no longer members of the guild at this point. Gajeel and Juvia were a good team but they were on a mission.
Mira fought solo or with her siblings but her demon persona wasn't something she enjoyed showing to many people. She preferred to work without anyone watching her. Mira wasn't comfortable with other people around her. She probably felt like they were judging her or something.
Team Natsu always had dynamic members. They all had their strengths since Erza, Natsu and Gray were extremely capable fighters while Lucy was intelligent and a source of common sense for them. They were used to covering up each-others weaknesses and watching each-others backs. It made sense for them to be chosen for a mission that required them to be working with other people.
Lucy had been a little worried that the team would not be chosen to go again but everything had worked out. Siegrain would be coming with them as well. The last time he had been wandering the forest and led Cobra to Nirvana. He had been trying to correct the sins of his past and it had led to him being dragged away in chains. It had broken Erza's heart.
Just thinking about the other timeline gave her a headache sometimes. Honestly some of the things that they managed to survive was sheer dumb luck. People didn't have the full story and went all crazy on them or they misunderstood something or they were being used. Honestly it was a miracle that they found out the truth in time to keep whoever was the villain of the week from killing them.
Honestly Lucy wasn't so sure about Oracion Seis and she was one of the most forgiving people in the guild. They hadn't changed their ways until after the whole Clock thing. Cobra was one of the people who had second thoughts after this but the others followed Midnight. Jellal had probably been the best thing that ever happened to any of them.
He was the only one who felt responsible for the path that they walked. He sought to help them and show them a better way mainly because he blamed himself for the Tower. She didn't know what would happen now that he wouldn't create his guild. She was worried that she had doomed people who had once sought redemption thanks to him.
Travelling towards the meeting place filled Lucy with a sense of nostalgia. Natsu was leaning over the side of the cart with a green face. Wendy withheld a sigh and Lucy raised an eyebrow at the young girl, "I tried a new enchantment for his motion sickness and it didn't work." She explained.
Siegrain patted her arm, "Enchantment magic isn't very precise Wendy. Unlike your dragon slaying magic enchantments have no real precise forms. There isn't any real technique to make the magic work. I once heard someone say that enchanting was a lot like willing something to happen. You picture what you want to happen in your head and you make it happen."
Wendy frowned, "It is sort of like that."
Wendy stopped speaking, trailing off, lost in her own thoughts. Siegrain nodded, "Every enchanter describes it differently. You just need practice and time for you to find your own method. You're young Wendy and you're already doing very well. Your support enchantments are some of the strongest magic I have ever seen. Just keep trying."
Lucy smiled at them. She remembered the type of enchanter that Wendy would become someday. She had gone toe to toe with Irene. The Scarlet Despair was in a league of her own. She had been spending a lot of time on her dragon slaying magic so she hadn't worked on her enchantment magic yet.
Erza sat in front driving their carriage listening to them chat. Lucy and Gray were trading information on what they did know about their enemy. As soon as Gray heard about the mission he and Erza showed up at the house. Lucy gave them the cliff notes version and explained what she expected to changed.
She wouldn't tell them what Nirvana meant and insisted that they would know when the time was right. Hibiki had a point when he said that knowing about Nirvana would be dangerous. If you're too busy wondering whether your thoughts were leaning towards light or dark then it would be possible to get caught up in those thoughts.
Erza agreed to tell everyone who gathered in the meeting place the magic of every member in the dark guild. They would be able to better co-ordinate if they knew what magic they were up against. They were up against speed mage, dragon slayer, Earth mage, reflector mage and Angel since Lucy didn't know what magic she would be able to use. Then there was Brain.
They were more prepared now than they were in the past. They knew more but at the same time there was too much that changed. Wendy wouldn't need to be kidnapped to heal Jellal so they wouldn't have to split up to look for her. That would mean that no one would encounter anyone in the same manner again. The only reason they were all running through the forest was so that they could find Wendy.
There was also the possibility that Angel would try and spy on them. She had managed to take out Ichiya and Jura and she found out all their plans. The only reason that happened was because she used Gemini. Now that wouldn't happen Lucy couldn't predict how their first encounter would play out.
In the end Erza and Gray agreed that they should limit the information given without compromising the mission. Everyone gathering here would be powerful enough to take care of themselves so they would brief them on the magic that their enemy used. That would help them to prepare for their individual encounters even though Lucy didn't know how it would play out.
The group gathered outside the meeting place for a moment. Lucy couldn't help but smile as she remembered the first time she had come here. This was also the first time she had met Wendy. Lucy looked at the young blue haired girl standing next to her and couldn't help but marvel at the differences.
She stood tall with her hair tied in a high pony tail. She wore black jeans with a white shirt and black jacket. There was also a green sash tied around her waist. It was a more combat practical outfit and it reminded Lucy of the clothes Horologium once gave her when they were facing off against Hades.
Lucy couldn't see the scared, soft spoken little girl that she met in her daughter. This was a person who was more than willing to fight to protect her family. She had come in as a healer but she wouldn't just run and hide. She would fight if she had too and Lucy was more than willing to bet on her daughter.
Lucy just hoped that she wouldn't have too. No mother wanted to see their child bleed. Wendy might not be her blood but they were family. Natsu shared a look with Lucy that spoke volumes. He knew how much she had been dreading this mission. Every day that took them a step closer to dealing with this guild was a step closer to something that Lucy didn't know how to explain.
Natsu knew that ever since Deliora had been revived Lucy had been worried. Their meddling with time had brought up many unforeseen circumstances. The disaster with Deliora had been kept from becoming a massacre by a hairs breath. There was no telling if this would go sideways in a way that they couldn't predict.
Lucy had been even more worried since there was so much different. Natsu highly doubted that this would be over quickly. They both thought that due to their knowledge of the future they would be able to easily win all their battles. However they were both quickly proven wrong when even though their strongest fighters had been present things had still being going wrong.
It wasn't like he didn't understand her worry but he knew that there was something more to her fear. Lucy thought that Gray died when the temple of the moon collapsed. They had already lived through losing most of their guild members but the thought that Gray died due to their interference terrified her.
Erza walked into the meeting place that Master Bob had provided. Gray and Siegrain followed her. Wendy, Happy and Carla went in behind them with Natsu and Lucy behind them. They walked into the hall only to find the place in complete darkness. Lucy resisted the urge to drop her head into her hands and groan. She knew what was coming next and she had no idea how anyone was going to react to it.
Erza, Lucy and Wendy found themselves being ushered onto a sofa offered refreshments by the Trimens. Hibiki reached out to offer her some juice and found himself being crushed under the pressure of Natsu's magic.
"Step away from my wife."
Eve had been offering Erza a hot towel when Siegrain lifted him by the collar of his shirt and glared, "This one is mine little man."
Ren offered Wendy some cake only to find himself flying through air from an ice over fist, "She's twelve!" roared out Gray.
They started bickering and Lucy sighed loudly. Ichiya decided that it would be the perfect time to make his appearance and then he made a comment about Erza's parfume. Siegrain unleashed all his magic and the entire room trembled. He stepped forward and bent down so that he could look Ichiya in the eye, "She. Is. Mine. Understood?"
Ichiya nodded very quickly to show his understanding when Ren let out a blast of air that knocked everyone backwards. Lucy went tumbling and Wendy started eating his attack. The guys started fighting again when Lyon walked in with Sherry. Gray started bickering with him because well it was Gray and Lyon. Sherry was trying to snipe at Lucy who just looked done with everything.
Then Jura walked in and everyone went silent when he reprimanded them. They all took a moment to gather themselves when Lyon and Sherry realized that they were staring at the blue haired child standing quietly behind Lucy.
"Why is there a child here?" asked Sherry.
Natsu let out a low growl that had Lyon raise his hands in surrender, "That is my daughter."
Jura frowned, "Will she be safe?"
Lucy laughed and Wendy stared Jura in the eye, "My name is Wendy Dragneel, the Sky Dragon slayer. I also use support and enchantment magic. However for this mission Master Makarov sent me in a healer capacity. I can heal anyone so long as their heart is still beating even from poison."
Several people looked surprised at the powerful magic she wielded, "Dragneel?" questioned Ichiya.
He turned to Natsu who was standing next to Lucy, "The daughter of Natsu Dragneel, Fire Dragon Slayer. The eighth Wizard Saint and you're Lucy Dragneel, the celestial priestess."
Jura shook hands with Natsu, "An honor to meet you Natsu-dono."
Siegrain congratulated him on his promotion while the rest of the mages came to terms with the fact that three wizard saints had gathered for this mission. Then there was the fact that there were so many famous mages. The Queen of the Fairies, The Ice-Prince, The Light of the Fairies were all mages who had become very famous recently mostly due to the Deliora disaster.
Now that all the fighting was over they could finally get down to the reason that they were all present. Hibiki brought up various pictures of their enemies using his archive magic. He explained what he knew about their magic when Lucy stepped forward.
"I asked my father to dig deeper into the magic council archives for more information on our enemies. Cobra doesn't just use a type of magic to control his pet he is the Poison Dragon Slayer. He can also hear your thoughts so he can predict you when you fight him. The poison is extremely dangerous, painful and deadly. He is the main reason we brought Wendy."
Hibiki updated his archive as she spoke and nodded to her to continue, "We believe that Midnight uses reflector magic. Magic never touches him no matter how many times you attack him. Racer and Hot-eye are people that we don't have any new information on. Angel however is completely unknown. I couldn't find anything on the type of magic she uses."
There was silence as everyone took in the new information, "Brain is someone that we believe worked at the magic council. We don't have any information on his name but this magic is old. The only records of it would be with the council. These tattoos however are something I'm worried about. I believe he is using body link magic on himself."
Jura looked confused, "Why?"
Lucy shook her head, "I have a lot of research on him but I didn't have enough time to come up with a more concrete theory. No one ever worked at the magic council with those marks so its new. There are reports that Brain spoke about six pillars and six prayers that kept 'him' sealed. I don't know for sure but its something to keep in mind."
Jura took her warning to heart. It was better to expect anything than to be surprised. She admitted that she wasn't sure so it was just something to keep in mind. They now knew more about their enemy than they had known in the past which was better than nothing. Now all they needed was a plan of action.
AN: Before you guys come at me with pitch forks and flames and burn me at the stake Adrianna will not be around for long. She is my OC and honestly she doesn't get much screen time. Ever since I started this story I knew what direction I wanted to take Laxus's character in.
We changed someone who had been mean and cold and arrogant two years early. We took him away from his team and we shook the very core of who he is. Laxus grew to be kinder and more accepting but what would that mean to the man himself? What about his mindset? The direction he wants his future to take?
Everyone has an idea of what their future will look like and then something happens that changes the direction we are going in. Laxus isn't focused on becoming stronger or taking over the guild so what does he want?
Also we stopped a lot of pain from him being excommunicated so now here's a different question – Just because Natsu and Lucy stopped that happening to him will that mean Laxus will never be hurt? Will there be no more pain in his life since they stopped one of the most life changing things that happened to him?
Ever since I started using time 'ripples' in my story I always planned for Adrianna. Laxus and Adrianna met because he changed. This story will have Mira x Laxus just later once I finish this sub-plot. Drop me some reviews on what you think I'm planning on doing with her.
03/11/2019 AN: I'm putting this here coz I don't have the time to do a whole new chapter just to say this... This fic will be on Hiatus until the 22/11/2019. I'm currently writing my final three papers away from my degree and I beg patience from my readers. I'm too stressed out to put up another chapter right now. There will be one up before the end of November but not until I finish exams. Thanks for the awesome reviews.
