It's been quite a while since I last touched on this story, way back in 2017, and I feel that if I continue it in the way that it was originally meant to be, it will eventually run out of steam and become an abandoned story, so, instead of letting that happen, I will be starting this again, this time named 'Crimson Absolution' and it will have a central focus on a very slowly developing pairing that will involve Erza, Mira, and Lucy.
It might not be your thing but I think I can spin a pretty good story for what I've got planned, so if that strikes your fancy, go give it a read, follow, and a review, it would help immensely if you did.
Thank you all for the support, past, present, and future.
