This is a fic I wrote years ago, and I almost abandoned it after my writing skills and taste evolved, but I decided to complete it, edit it, and publish it. Thanks to anyone who followed me to wait for it, and sorry for the wait! I won't respond to any comments, but I will read them. it's pretty low quality and I may have missed some weird phrases or scenes when editing, but I hope you'll enjoy the story!
