@Esmarel_Stark Omgosh, thank you! I'm not entirely sure on why, exactly, "I'm a genius," but that is so very appreciated! My apologies for the lack of chapters, though--I had actually decided last night (two am epiphanies, am I right?) that I will repost a brand-spanking-new little part of my story when I reach two-thousand views. Not that I'm fishing or anything (!), but I genuinely believe that all those who have patiently (and not-so-patiently) waited for me to return deserve a heartfelt reward. And so, as soon as I see that teeny "2K" mark, I'll work my butt off to get you something soul satisfying. Wait, okay, back to the point (jumped onto a rabbit trail, there) THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR KIND WORDS, YOU PERFECT SOUL! It's really the people like you, gently coaxing or forcefully shoving, that both make my day and my confidence. I absolutely adore you all, which is why it brings a smile to my lips when I can extend a slimmer of sunshine to you peoples. Thank you, thank you, thank you again,
