I would like to make an important announcement for my readers.

First of all, for those who are experiencing these changes while the work is still in the process. Yes, the title has changed. This was a very difficult decision for me, because you and I too were used to the fact that the story of Charlie and Evan was called 'Lavender Love'. It set the tone for their relationship and was a kind of beacon for me as a writer.

But the time has come to admit that this title has lost its relevance. When I began this work, I had a vague idea of ​​​​the plot. I had many sketches, I had a rough idea of ​​​​what my boys should be like. But it turned out that the story grew. It became much larger, deeper than I expected. The story unwittingly hooked on many other characters and plot lines that began to develop. And I'm afraid that the old title cannot describe this process.

I'm sorry to say this, but I want to be honest with you. With the readers who follow me.  And with future readers too. I don't want to promise you something that you won't see in this work. There will be a lot of good and bad, sweet and disgusting things happening in the plot... Neither 'lavender' nor 'love' describe this plot anymore. These words are connected with the main characters, of course, but in the context of the rest of the story they create a false impression. As if this is a sweet and tender work with a guarantee of happy ending.

When I first started writing it, at the moment I thought that it would be like this. I didn't know what the plot would be and what the themes would be that would suddenly become important to me. I wrote this work to talk about what worries me... And not only me. To talk about what's bothering me, to give free rein to my feelings. For me, this is much more important than creating a plot where everyone will be fabulously happy. Perhaps this is just not the kind of work. Perhaps, for now, I have no other words.

I hope for your understanding and patience, friends. Thank you for staying with me. Thank you for reading.

Best wishes, Vegorion.
