I swear the cover is temporary unless i forget to change it- *+*Summary (?)*+* I started writing this fic at 1am back in 2021, Espresso and Madeleine get kidnapped a lot, nearly die several times, I accidentally gave Madeleine hypersomnia? His mom in this fic is an OC because Cookie Odyssey hadn't come out yet, and she sucks. Things get darker and delve into more of an analysis of character's mental health after she's introduced. I really don't know how else to summarize this, but it's better than the old one. The writing is all old and bad (in comparison to my current writing) but I want to try and wrap this up for those who've stuck around. *+* This is the Wattpad version of the fic. It'll also be on Ao3 (it's exactly the same but if you like reading there more, you can) My name on here is the same as there: Ben_Fakename *+*1st chapter published on October 10th, 2021*+*

"my dad told me to give it to someone precious soon". philia couldn't help but smirk at that. "cute." she said, looking forward to where they're walking. "you'll get it soon, sunshine." russia confessed, looking away quietly and philia felt like flying. "wait, what?" _____ lower case intended date started: 05/30/20 date ended : 08/23/20 date started editing: 09/20/21 date finished editing: --/--/--
