          	WE'RE SO CLOSE TO OUR BABIES ALL BEING ON THE SAME ISLAND. IN THE SAME CITY. CLOSER THAN THEY'VE BEEN TO EACH OTHER SINCE THE END OF BOOK TWO. HOLY CRAP. THIS IS NOT A DRILL. 
          	
          	This next chapter, tentatively titled Enchanted, is going to carry us from Nightmares and Daydreams into The Day of Black Sun - Part 1. IT'S FINALLY CLOSE TO HAPPENING.

Bruh, this cold and flu season is no joke. Thoughts, prayers and an endless supply of NyQuil to anyone else dealing with this sh*t. For well over a week, it's felt like I was run over by a semi, backed up over, and then hit with it again. Like, can I throw myself off a cliff? Because that sounds more enjoyable than this. (Am I being serious or am I joking? I can't even tell at this point.)

Y'all, LISTEN. To start, if you haven't read the Chronicles of the Avatar books, you desperately need to. They are so good, and they get BRUTAL at times. 
          
          I just started a reread to prepare for the release of the 2nd Roku novel since it's been so long since I read the 1st, and I forgot how utterly OBSESSED I am with Avatar Kyoshi and, in turn, my ideas for Akira Ragnar. Like, obviously I'm finishing  Forged in Fire first because we're at least a good halfway through the story (and I'm currently working on the next chapter called Show Yourself rn) BUT, I think that's where we're headed next. After we wrap Aelita's series, I want to head into Ragnars.
          
          Want a little teaser for his story? Our boy is the eldest son of the Wolf Cove Chief, and he frankly starts his story knowing he's the Akira but wanting absolutely NOTHING to do with the Avatar. Why? Because his family blames the previous Avatar for the death of his Aunt Ummi. (Does anyone remember the lovely Water Tribe face stolen by Koh centuries ago? The one that belonged to Avatar Kuruk's fiancée?) YEAH. I love my messy, petty boy. Ragnar honestly has grown on me just as much as Aelita.
          
          Okay, enough for my random ramblings, or this chapter will never get done. Stay tuned, because Hama is about to become even more of a problem than she ever did in the show, just saying.

@erinf14 Loving it all already

@Haven0170 Oh, absolutely. I'd like to eventually put out stories focusing on Kyoshi & Ragnar, Roku & Tulan and of course, Korra & her Akira, an airbender named Jinpa. I may eventually do Rika, the Akira partnered with Yangchen, but those stories didn't stick out as much to me, and maybe a novella-style glimpse at Akitaru and Kuruk, but unsure there.
            
            I'd also love to get back into my Gods Amongst Men story but I'm struggling more there. Lowkey though have an outline for two Quirkless AU's - one focusing on Hitoshi as an arson investigator and another focusing on Kirashima as an Olympic snowboarder.

Hi friends!
          
          I feel like this update has been so very long coming. This time last year I was getting myself out of a very unhealthy relationship, one where we lived together and shared finances, so the separation was far from quick or easy. Things took months to finalize, and even then, I spent several more fixing my home and ensuring I'd be safe since my ex knew my address and day-to-day routine.
          
          To put it simply and honestly, it was exhausting on all fronts, physically, mentally and emotionally. I was lucky to have the most wonderful support system, and while I didn't mourn the relationship, I lost the family members I had come to love in the process.
          
          Thankfully, with the help of that support system and a bit of soul-searching, I'm in a much better place now. I started by rediscovering my passion for reading, somehow finishing 105 books so far this year. Getting lost in the pages has been a steady reminder of how much I missed writing, and how badly I wanted to get back into it.
          
          Still, it seemed like it had been far too long to hop back in, but my partner now is unbelievably kind and encouraging, and they've been my biggest cheerleader in taking things one chapter at a time.
          
          So, that's exactly what I did, and today I finally published a new chapter to Forged in Fire, the final installment in the Akira Series. If any of you have stuck around long enough to see this, I can't thank you enough. And if you're new and happen to just be tuning in as this happens, I'm so happy you're here.
          
          My goal is to post a chapter every 1-2 weeks, depending on length and scheduling, as I do have a big kid job where I travel for work now. I'd also love to sprinkle in new chapters for my My Hero series as well, because my girls Aine and Theodora have my whole heart as well. We're just gonna keep taking life one chapter at a time. 
          
          I love you all, and I owe you the world. Now, excuse me while I emotionally wreck myself diving into Alchemised in the meantime.

FRIENDS!
          
          I am indeed alive and (almost) well. Surviving, not thriving some days BUT we're getting there. It is amazing the amount of simultaneous stress and relief that comes from ending a relationship with a narcissist. 
          
          Thank you for all the kindness I've been shown in these last few months even as I was MIA. Frankly, I didn't have the energy or mental capacity to do more than take life one day at a time. While I'm not totally out of the woods yet, I am safe, and I'm in a far better place than I was. 
          
          Now, time to prioritize myself and my passions and get back to our regularly scheduled program, because I miss my girls Aelita and Aine. I'd like to get back to both my ATLA and BNHA works in time, I just ask for a little more patience as I get there. 
          
          Love y'all, mean it.
