Author's note

Hi guys! I just wanted to say first thanks for being patient. Now. I have a question for y'all.
I'm debating whether or not to change Ahn's parents.
Should I
A. Keep the canon where Rashta, in this case Maria, is Ahn's mom with a OC as the father
Or
B. Change the parents to OC and have Rashta/Maria try to escape with Ahn with Alan ultimately claiming him as his son to protect him when she fails. (Also beauty is never tarnished? Get that trope outta here)

This is what I'm stuck on and it will ultimately decide a little bit of the story.

A second question.
Do y'all want Maria to end up with anyone? Or stay single?

(Also if this ends up in Fanfic recs on the tvtropes page I might scream and faint out of sheer joy honestly)

Edit: Here's a possible future excerpt!

"Rashta, do you really think putting a wig and a fake pregnancy belly on Navier is going to work? Her eyes and the height difference alone-"
"It was a suggestion, my good sir! She would be sitting, first off, so no one would notice a height difference and second, she could pretend like she's crying and use a handkerchief to cover her eyes. Or say that the light hurts them or some lie. Thirdly, I'm not far enough along for everyone to actually notice my bump if I wear layers."
"And what if someone notices?"
"....Ugh fine! We do your plan. Now you go break her out while I go abolish slavery."
