Hello, everyone, I bet you're surprised to see an update to this and I wanted to add a new "chapter" to this so people following the story (which I'm elated to see new people still favoriting this after all the years!!!) could be alerted to an update.

my love for golden swan has never diminished despite the direction the writers took and when I originally abandoned this story, I believe s5 was airing and as this story was meant to follow canon almost completely, the way the show was heading was honestly just depressing in the context of this fic lol. For other reasons as well I was very displeased and discouraged by the way the show was going and ended up not even continuing to watch the last two seasons.

That being said, my mind has always wandered periodically back to this story and I've done drabbles and things in this universe for myself many times over the years and finally decided I'd give this another shot. So I've decided to rewrite it. I'd like to think my writing has improved in that time and my goal is not to change much about the plot of this story but to just do it better and maybe even finish it one day. Now that the show is over I can incorporate more things that I did like from the show into this story and, again, just make it better.

To that end, I've already rewritten the first five chapters. Things should flow just fine from chapter 5 to 6 still where things still make sense but I will be rewriting every chapter. Enjoy :)
