Hey guys. For anyone that still happens to follow this story or is interested, I am rewriting this story over on AO3. Follows similar broad strokes but I'm rewriting it as I wrote this when I was much younger, but have always wanted to return to it.
On AO3, you can find the new fic under the same name ('Thawing of the heart') and under the same author name (Firefly446).
Hopefully see you there!
