AUTHOR'S NOTE

(Not A Chapter)

Okay, the interaction between writers and readers is almost non-existent here. People aren't happy and I am unable to dispel your queries. So, I thought why not convey the message here! Easiest way to answer all your questions.

First and foremost, I would like to ask if you want a sequel? I have two different plots in mind that would depend on whether I'm gonna write a sequel or not. In case I do write it, I will have to change the category from ROMANCE to DRAMA or HURT/COMFORT. And if not, then the category would remain the same and I will have to change some of the plot I have in mind.

The sequel will have 10-15 chapters at best. It would still be romance, even in the sequel and Damon/Athena will get their happy ending, probably better than they would get in this one. Not exactly a tragedy.

Second is the issue with ROMANCE between the protagonists. This is my first story, so I have no clue what I'm doing here. When I focus on one thing, the other gets neglected and vice versa. I'll try to keep it in mind now that it has been pointed out to me. The next chapter will be a new start for Damon-Athena as they will face some challenges together, making her realize that Damon truly loves her. Damon will have to face consequences because she's a Potter and nothing is easy for her and he isn't going to leave, no matter what. Their issues are gonna resolve themselves, starting right from the next chapter.

Then there's the issue with Tom/Voldemort coming back. Many of you are worried that it will be a repeat of the original books. Let me assure you that its not going to be repeated. Tom will be making an appearance later in the story and that would only be in 1 or 2 chapters. I don't wanna spoil anything for you guys, but that would be the end of Tom. Its not going to come to a war. I have other things planned which are gonna take multiple chapters and not to mention the start of other pairings as well.

Finally, about Death. We've all seen him as a nice 'person', dancing to 'Harry's' whim because he is the 'Master of Death'. But I decided to change it somehow. I read' The Tale of Three Brothers' and Death seemed somewhat evil to me, giving items to manipulate the three brothers. Inspired by that and wanting to write something different, I've made him just like that. This is a story and I had a vast horizon to explore, so I decided to do just that here. Death isn't happy that she evaded him again and again, and had managed to collect the Hollows even without wanting them or understanding their potential. By bringing Tom back, he's testing Athena.

Things would go differently from here onward, if I write a sequel or even if I don't. Then the plot would change.

Just to get it out there, if I write a sequel, there would be a Major Character Death and the category changes from Romance to Tragedy. (Which I tagged on my AO3 account from the start itself, but we don't have the option here.) If I end it here, the category remains the same and the plot I had in mind changes.

Mind you, even in the sequel Damon and Athena would end-up together, because I'm a sucker for Happy Endings.

Lastly, this story is rated 'M' not only it will have SMUT in the upcoming chapters, but also because its dark in nature.

Just thought I should tell you guys everything before people start throwing flames my way. Hope all the issues have been addressed, now. Thank you for everyone who's still reading the story.

Have a nice day all. 😊
