The Typhoon ~Vash x OC AU~

Author's Note

**PLEASE READ**

Hello, hello, all my amazing lovelies! Wow! Can you believe that we are here? We are finally on the third and final book of this project! That's right! So, if you haven't, I strongly recommend reading the first two books (The Stampede ~Vash x OC AU~ book 1, and The Humanoid ~Vash x OC AU~ book 2) as ya might get a little confused if ya skip those. But for those of you who have already read the first two, ya know what I'm about to say. That's right. It's time for the spiel. Apologies!

One: As mentioned in the preview, I do not own any of the media (pictures/photos/videos/music/etc.) or characters (except my OCs) unless specified. All rights go and rightfully belong to the original creators and owners.

Two: Also as mentioned in the preview, this story will contain mature content such as but not limited to violence, mature language, smut/lemon/fluff scenes, and other triggering themes. Because of this, this is a mature story with mature content meant for a mature audience. Rated 18+, reader discretion is advised.

Three: I know this is dumb to say, but I'm gonna say it (once more) anyway so that people are fully aware. This is a fanfic – we all get that. This means not everything in either of the Trigun worlds will be followed. In fact, I may take sources from both Trigun and Trigun Stampede. However, I, myself, still really, really like the storytelling and world in Stampede, so that will be the one I follow the most. If you are an individual who prefers the original 1998 Trigun over Stampede, that is completely fine.

Four: This leads me to the fourth point. This is a fanfic. Everyone has preferences (and certain tropes they may not like – which is 100% alright). I get that. However, this is my story, so I'm going to write and pull from the version I prefer, and use the tropes that I want. If you do not like that – and I mean this as respectfully as possible – you do not need to read the story. It is 100% okay if you start reading this and realize it's not for you. We've all been there (myself included). However, bullying myself or other readers who do enjoy this is unacceptable. You are more than welcome to leave feedback and jokes or whatever, but please refrain from attacking anyone. There is a difference between bullying and helpful criticism or joking. Just remember to be kind.

Five: Please know that even though I may write scenes that may be messed up or triggering does not mean I condone or support anything like that in the real world. I believe we are all people who deserve respect and to live happily as our authentic selves so long as no one is being hurt (people or animals). Be you but be kind.

Six: This is a newer addition to this list. I've done this with my other fanfics, and I will be doing it at the end of this one as well. After this book's epilogue, there will be a Fun Facts section. For other projects, I held Q&As in those. (Now, were there ever a lot of questions submitted? Eh, not really, but that's okay.) So, with that, I figured I'd hold another Q&A in this one as well. Folks can ask about my OCs in here, about my writing process, or anything else. Just remember to be respectful. If there are no questions, that's okie dokie. I will be accepting questions up until a cutoff point (which will be announced closer to it – ya girl doesn't know how long this book will be – in one of the end-of-the-chapter author's notes), so if you're interested in that, keep an eye out. Oh, you can ask as many questions as ya want, though I recommend leaving them in either this part's comment section, or the cutoff chapter's comment section. I get a lot of notifications, so if they're spread over too many comment areas, they may get lost in the sea – sorry! If we still had messaging, I'd say message 'em, but alas. It is gone.

And last BUT MOST IMPORTANTLY, thank you all so, so, so, oh, so much for everything! I can never express just how much I truly, authentically appreciate your love and support. Every read, every vote, and every comment means the world. Because of y'all, I have felt inspired and pushed to do the best I can to bring you a story I truly enjoyed writing (despite those occasional rough days). When I say this, I mean it from the bottom of my heart, thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you. Y'all have been absolutely amazing throughout all this and I look forward to this final leg. May we feel our feelings and enjoy the ride!

Now, with that said, sit back, (try to) relax, and let's begin! Wuv yous!! <3
