Hi, everyone! I just wanted to make a post and kinda explain why there hasn’t been an update on Butterflies in a while. 
          	
          	So, to start off - I was about to start the process of the Shadow Dragons and I just could not get any motivation. I did some deep thought and decided that there were a few things I wanted to change in previous chapters. While in the process of doing that, I had a family member pass away and so all motivation I had disappeared there for a bit. But my motivation is currently back and I am working on getting those chapters edited. 
          	
          	A few new things you can expect in updated previous chapters: 
          	- BULTEN IS BACK! I do love Bulla x Lapis and Goten x Valese is adorable, but Bulten kept pulling me back and I think that was a big issue why I was having trouble moving forward. Lapis will still be important to the story and in it :)
          	- Trupan’s relationship. Their first kiss? A LOT SOONER (chapter 5!!). TENSION? SOONER. Pan closing the bond between them? SOONER. Their relationship? FLIPPED. Looking back, I really didn’t like how Pan seemed to be the one yearning for Trunks most of the time. So this time around, he’s going to be the one chasing her and fighting to get that bond back. Also, jealous Trunks is hot. 
          	- The GT will be different! I plan on the wish that is made on the Black Star Dragon Balls being different and causing a chain of events that will of course, affect Trupan. 
          	
          	A new summary is updated as well, which will fit these new things! The first 5 chapters have been edited and posted. I will diligently work on getting the next 5 posted. :)

Part One of Butterflies has been posted on AO3 and it has over 100k words. Honestly, I’m blown away that part one alone has THAT many words. I think when I originally wrote Butterflies, the 100+ chapters I had wasn’t even that much! 
          
          Working on Part two now, though! And planning out the next little bit which will be the Shadow Dragons! I’m hoping I can pop out another 100k words for part two! It would be awesome. 
          
          Thanks so much for all the support!

@kaitastrophe14 so excited! Can’t wait to see how the story unfolds!

Just curious when we might get an update for Butterflies? Super excited to see what happens next! We have been snowed-iced in the last 2 weeks, so I’ve been rereading your stories lol!!

Thebesteverrrr

@kaitastrophe14 that is so exciting to hear! Thank you for the update!

@Thebesteverrrr hi! Hi! Hi! I hope you’re doing well! I wanted to give you an update since I said I wanted the newest chapter done by this week and it hasn’t been posted… lol. I hit a bit of a writers block buuut I’ve been brainstorming and I think I’ve got the issues straightened out. The ending of the previous chapter might be adjusted a bit, but it won’t be major. :) Hopefully I can get the chapter posted for sure this week. Thanks for always being patient! ❤️

As some of you know, I do plan on eventually rewriting and re-editing Forbidden… 
          
          That being said, it won’t be until later this year as my main focus is on Butterflies. But I did want to let you all know that I am leaning towards the possibility of mixing in my ATLA AU in with Forbidden. Honestly, Forbidden will probably also get a name change. 
          
          I will download the copy of Forbidden on a google doc before I do that though for those of you who’d like to read the older version before I start posting new chapters and such.

@kaitastrophe14 How exciting!! I love forbidden!

Hello and happy new years to all! I just wanted to get on here and make an announcement. 
          
          As some may know, I just finished updating Strong Bonds. In order to keep the AU comparable, I went through Butterflies and edited the previous chapters. A few things have changed, the biggest being: 
          
          - Marron is NOT pregnant during the Grand Tour. She will, eventually be pregnant, just not yet :) 
          - Bulla x Lapis (Seventeen) and Goten x Valese are back!! :) 
          
          Right now, I am in the process of updating a few chapters into AO3 weekly to get AO3 caught up with Wattpad. As I do that, I will be working on the newest chapter! 
          
          While I do have new projects I’d like to work on, my main focus at this time will be on Butterflies. I want to get it at least to part 3 before I do any other project. So I hope you all enjoy! 

kaitastrophe14

@Thebesteverrrr Awwh! No I don’t but that’s so sweet of you :) I always try to keep you guys updated! Hopefully the new chapter will be done in the next two weeks! I know the direction I want to go with the chapter and what will most likely be happening, it’s just writing it that I’m procrastinating lol!

Would you guys hate me if I renamed Akari in Butterflies looool but I’m very tempted to do so. 

kaitastrophe14

@Thebesteverrrr thank you for always being so supportive!! ❤️❤️ I was thinking about changing her name to Usagi, just don’t fits with Mamoru as a nod towards Sailor Moon but idk her name has been Akari since I first wrote Butterflies.

@HeavenOfNirvana well I wasn’t thinking about changing the title / name of the story, just Akari’s name :)

Hiii it's me! I hope everyone has been well <3
          
          To those of you that are waiting for an update on Butterflies, thank you for being patient with me. I just finished my story Back to You and I am in the process of editing Strong Bonds. Once I am done with Strong Bonds I plan to focus on JUST Butterflies for a hot minute because it deserves it. 
          
          You might be wondering why I'm editing Strong Bonds... lol. To put simply, I'm editing it, so it flows with Butterflies better. My goal as always is to make them harmonize with each other. 
          
          Also.. Please do not hate me, but I am changing a paring in Butterflies. I am changing it back to Lapis x Bulla. I do LOVE Bulten, but I can't help but feel as if Bullap (?? lmaaao) and Goten x Valese is the right ones for this AU. The GOOD thing is that I can find my previous edits of when it was Bullap and just change it back and edit the ones few chapters after that :) I'm sorry I've been so wishy-washy. I just know what's coming up in later chapters and I want everything to flow perfectly. I look forward to posting updates again to Butterflies :)
