This is a very old piece of fanfiction that I began writing in 2007 and finished in 2011. I began writing it at the age of 19; I am now 35. However while Chiyo will always have a special place in my heart, the fic I wrote doesn't reflect my own values and interests any longer.
It did a disservice to Chiyo's character to have her make so little impact upon the story, and I wished I had the courage at age 19 to allow her to be powerful and brave and strong without feeling like I had to restrict her or dumb her down, for fear of creating a 'Mary Sue' character. If I could go back, I would write her much differently. I would change the narrative, unapologetically, and perhaps if I ever have the time or interest, I will again.
In this original form, this fic has been reposted and for some reason, sold as an ebook without my permission, and I'm keeping this up only for proof of when I published it.
