fun fact: the name chione is egyptian, which is a nod to addie and imaan's (the face claim) roots!

also, sorry about the lack of updates. some things came up and i couldn't work on this, but i'm slowly getting back into it, so expect the next chapter sometime next week. hopefully, we'll soon get back into updates being every other day! a big thank you is in order to anyone who's stuck around, and those who have discovered this during the hiatus. this fic went from having under 5k reads to over 20k, and i'm incredibly grateful for that.
