My dears...a lot has changed.

I have changed, and I cannot continue this story. I promised, but that was a different me.

I can, however, promise to answer any and every question tossed my way, via message or comment, about what I had planned for the story, what characters' thoughts were, etc.

I am happy where it ended. Eddward was still broken, but it can take years to heal.

My AU was, more-or-less, the Brokenverse.

I had a plan, but I forgot too much about the story, and hate rereading my own writing so much that I can't even get myself to recall enough to continue.

My current partner has taught me so much that I know how everything would be fixed.

Nat and Jamison, as hinted in Dearest Diary. Nathan is such a strong personality, even when subdued, and would be the healthy dominant for him, to help him heal, provide aftercare. He doesn't need to be stronger or bigger, he just has to take control, because Jamison is so tired of being strong. His front is killing him.

Sarah and Eddy, but only after his brother came to light; his brother was spoiled, but was an actual golden child. Jealousy festered rather than worship. Sarah herself was exhausted with her parents' expectations, she couldn't be her brothers' keeper. Eddy would be more like his normal 'verse self, but calmer, after some healing. That would probably have taken an entire story itself, maybe half of this one's length.

The Kankers and Ed...because he needs the exposure. The criticism, and they need something that makes them feel safe. He won't let any of their fathers hurt them. Because...if you lived in a trailer park (like myself), you know what...some fathers...can do. And how girls change in very specific ways. (i am lucky, my parents kept me safe from them) Maybe one day they'd find other partners, but Ed...became the big (younger) brother they needed. Ed needed to find something he could care about and protect, because he had nothing. So he protected himself...from himself.

Johnathan (spelling? again, been a while)...has to break before he gets better. He'd be at the end. As everyone heals, he falls further away as he holds to each scab, not understanding that there was something healthy underneath. Until he breaks, so pitifully, the most broken and lonely of everyone...and he does something drastic.

Almost everyone is too wrapped-up with healing...but Nazz, Nazz is the last one hiding things. Again, this would have been story-worthy, because she ends up in the hospital, more than once. Johnathan has an extended stay...Nazz keeps being brought in for seemingly-unrelated things.

Johnathan finds ways to cope, which allow him to focus on other things around him. He starts to overhear. He wonders why she's throwing up so much.

He's a lot smarter than anyone realized, he just needed a distraction. A fidget. Something to tether him to reality. And in the blandness of the hospital, she stands out as the one reminder of a school that failed him thus-far. He feels spite. She carries it as well.

But it let him scream. And it let her cry.

It would be a long hurt/comfort situation there.

As for Harrison...unfortunately, there would be no redemption arc. Some people are too far gone, and never get the kick in the ass they need. He's not a bad person. I will never write a bad person, because no one, NO ONE, is bad. Just broken in jagged ways. As for Eddward's mom, perhaps that could tie into the Johnathan/Nazz arc, but loosely. Some problems reoccur for life, until death. You have to fight, and fight, and never stop fighting, and even then, you can still lose again.

If anyone has any questions...ask.

Or if you want to write more for the KevEdd Brokenverse? Please, PLEASE do, and please SEND ME A LINK because I would love to read it.

But don't ask for me to edit or review, because I am as harsh as Eddward with it.

Now...I bid you all, adieu.

And thank you all for your readership.
