Hiatus notice
I know, I know, don't shoot me. First I end my P5 fic and now I'm shelving this one for a bit? After two whole months without updates? Well, there's a valid reason. This fic has… evolved, to put it bluntly, my original idea I had for the whole thing is now little more than a fever dream of 8 months past and while I still have plans for this fic, it'd be best if I rewrote the thing I'm least proud of… the Kazuichi and Chihiro chapters. They're a mess. The only thing I like is the ending and as such, I decided to dig up my old idea and begin writing it. They'll stay as they are on here, but this rediscovery of my old wish for a detective fic formed The Understudy, which I will now work on as my main project. Imagine it as an Alternate Universe where it seems these characters were actually aware of each other and I don't pathetically attempt to write romance in a couple of thousand words by instead just dropping you in the middle of it and forcing you to accept it. So, I suppose this is an indefinite goodbye for those of you that don't plan on reading it. But please do. My low self-esteem depends on you.
