Volume I: Forged

Chapter 1: Introduction

Let us begin.

This is my first fic on this website, so be nice! I'll be posting this one chapter at a time here for those that like something to look forward to every day or so, but if you can't possibly wait, you can find most of this fic (just look up TheWritersHeir) on AO3 and read the series (not the single fic) Home Again, Home Again. We're almost 100 chapters and 250,000 words in if you're interested!

The tws for the entire fic are listed below. Some are more specific to certain chapters, but everything is generally very mild. Do proceed with caution if you are extra sensitive. I will update the list when and if I need to. If you notice anything I may have missed, please let me know.

Blood, gore, panic attacks, anxiety, past trauma, kidnapping, fear, death, fear of dying, fear of losing everything, dehumanization (especially of hybrid peoples), slavery, trafficking, broken bones, malnutrition, abuse and its affects, manipulation, mentions of *that* kind of content

Minx's chapter is a bit heavy for those with sensitivity to *that* kind of content

Schlatt's chapter is a bit heavy for those with sensitivity to murder and blood

Panic attacks or stressed-out characters are a bit of a given throughout almost every chapter.

Disclaimers are below:

I do not ship nobody except for Phil and Kristin because I love them very much. Outside of that one, extremely strict exception, I do not ship. I'm solely platonic. I can't write romance and have very little wish to do so.

These are not the real creators, or even the characters they play. These are my characters that I made, loosely using the real creators' personalities and names. These characters are actually more little pieces of my personality than the creators themselves.

I do not wish to receive any disgruntled comments about Schlatt, Dream, or any of the more controversial creators. I do not care. I mind my own business. I am not responsible for any of their actions. It is none of your concern whether I support them or not. I am here to provide entertainment and a safe place for those having rough days and just need to unwind, not to debate whether or not certain creators are this or that. Disgruntled comments do not add to that safe place, and have no place here.

I myself do not agree with the creators on a lot of touchy subjects and while I'd rather we not discuss all those - as again, safe space - I do reserve the right to write my fanfiction as I see fit as this is my safe space as well. If anything seems a bit off about some of the characters (for example, the lack of cuss words all around) this reason is probably why.

I tried to beta-read and edit, but sometimes I just didn't have the time. If you see errors, I have no idea what you're talking about.

The Minecrafts do move house a lot throughout the series - the only problem is I don't know where or when because I did not put a lot of thought into this fic when I first started and now it consumes all my time so we're running into issues there. If the house descriptions in various chapters are a bit off, that's why.

I have absolutely no idea of anybody's age at any given time. A list of oldest to youngest is in Volume IV: The Traveler's Guide to the Five Kingdoms of this series.

If you would like to recommend this fic to one of the creators, I don't mind. Don't be pushy though, and while I'm not aware of who, exactly, some of the creators have asked not to be asked to read anything. Be mindful of those please. 

Comments are the highlight of my day. I smile for literal hours after and I often re-read them when I'm sad. It's only thanks to commenters and all the tremendous support from the original that we ever made it past Chapter 6. I may have given you guys the story, but you guys were the ones that got it off the ground.

Be sure to check the other two parts of this series out for the rest of the story!!
