LAST, BUT IMPORTANT NOTE
          	FOR ALL OF MY CCM (fK&C, Colton Dixon, ext.) READERS: I’m making this announcement separately in each of my CCM fics, but I have some exciting things coming in the next few weeks/months… but before I can get to them, I need to clean up my branding a little bit. I got my start as a CCM author, and while I have varying levels of fondness for my different projects, I know that even the ones I cringe at the most are comfort fics for some of you out there, and I refuse to be the person who burns someone’s favorite fic to go back to. That said, I have what I hope you all will eventually agree are really good and exciting reasons for needing all RPF stuff off of my main brand.
          	Let me make this clear: I AM FINISHING MY UNFINISHED CCM PROJECTS. Sane and Broken Lullabies in particular are my babies, and I will not leave them incomplete. However, they are being moved to a different brand. That brand will be announced in those fics themselves, and I will give you ample warning before I do eventually unpublish them from this account. There’s nothing I’m ashamed of in those fics, and if they’re ever eventually drawn back to me, c’est la vie. But I would like to make an effort to clean up what I can. In the past, those fics have only been available here on Wattpad, but seeing as I literally cannot fathom how anyone tolerates this terrible app anymore, I will also be making them available on Ao3 and Tumblr under the new brand. There’s a chance Broken Girl specifically will only be available orphaned on Ao3 as that’s the one idk that any amount of editing can save, but again, I’ll communicate and warn you before I do anything like that.
          	Once again, all my love always to my CCM fam, and I AM FINISHING MY UNFINISHED WORKS, so please join me over on @thingsbrookneversaid , where I'll start by updating Broken Lullabies & Sane. 
          	Love you lots.

Alright. If you're a fan of a good, old, fashioned *Ao3 Authors Really Can't Catch a Break* author's note, tune on this thread for story time.

My pastor and his wife have effectively become my parents at this point, and I finally understand what people mean when they say their parents are their only friends. I spend a few months pretty much only enjoying the company of them and my little sister (and my Jamie, but she’s in Florida), and this makes my life infinitely better. After another rather traumatizing trip overseas and a lot of unmerited favor from these people who decided to love me for no good reason, everything finally starts to chill out. There’s some extra trauma with the whole big girl job thing (Moana abandoned me and I’m very happy for him, but everything went downhill from there), but at least I don’t work in politics anymore.
            … and that is the story of how I (should have) died, several times over, and instead just had a really not fun time being alive, but also found my Calebs, so to speak. If your life is in shambles and you’re living it in the company of abusive narcissists, would highly recommend no contact and found family. Once again, you have my profuse apologies for disappearing. As far as it is in my power, it will not happen again. Til next time… 
            Love ya,

Come home, they’re not turning back on. In this extremely compromised state of being, I meet up with another counselor friend from the summer before. He also SAs me. Thanks to being an unofficially adopted PK, and thus, a bit of a nepo-baby, I get a big girl job in an office. On the bright side, I’m not broke for the first time ever, and I meet this guy who calls me Hei-Hei (yes, like the chicken in Moana) but is also like my biggest cheerleader in a weird, verbally abusive way and essentially becomes my big brother and effectively my best friend since we spend eight hours a day together. On the down side, it’s politically adjacent. I can promise all of you that none of them care about us, and I become more sure with every passing day that we should rebel. Anyway. I become friends with this older, freshly divorced (or so I think) guy, turn him down a few times and then finally start going out with him. He spends three months telling me we’re not ready to make it official while also describing in detail how he’s going to propose to me someday. We fight like a young married couple in just about every coffee shop in Fort Collins, but try to make it work for reasons unbeknownst to man. Then, plot twist! I discover he’s not actually divorced. No, ladies and gentlemen, this man was legally married the entire time I was dating him. Love that for me. I get the real PK treatment in that my love life is suddenly everyone’s business, and somehow become the bad guy of this story. Oh, how I love being a woman!

My pastor sends me to get my head screwed on straight (i.e. realize I need to leave) as a camp counselor. You can read Take Me In and decide how well that worked. I find out via text that my mom’s skipped town two days before I come home. My last night there, I get SAed by another counselor. I leave him on a mountain at 3am, and after hiding from a mountain lion for the next hour, drive home. Back home, my life completely falls apart, and my pastor and his wife drag me out of my father’s house and into theirs (probably quite literally saving my life) by the scruff of my neck. During the summer of 2023, I do a little stint with this missions organization called YWAM, which doesn’t stand for Youth Without Any Money, but it should. My mother steals the inheritance I was counting on to get me through the program. Picture me in Practically Canada, Montana, depositing $1 bills like a stripper (it was actually Dutch Bros tip money, but potato, potato), in order to un-over-draft my account. My mother also marries her affair partner and informs my (teenage) sister via text, and I have to fly home on the dime of charitable strangers to put my family back together and get the kid on a plane to Sweden before going back to finish my program. Great! Not great. I find myself in Nuevo Vallarta, Mexico, under the supervision of idiots, trying to keep the three teenage students alive (literally). On my 21st birthday, the 15-year-old quite literally almost dies of a heat stroke because I was explicitly told to stop reminding them to drink water, and then when I told them she was heat stroking and we needed to take her to the hospital, they blew me off and told me to calm down. She should have died, but in the words of me, “That’s great. God is good, even when we’re idiots.” In order to make it through this trip, I literally shut my emotions off.

Hello. Believe it or, I’m not dead, and I haven’t abandoned you forever. I’d like to profusely apologize for falling off the face of the planet with so many projects left unfinished. It was never my intention, and believe it or not, that has been an anxiety in the back of my mind literally every day since. Thank you so much to everyone who continued to read and comment and beg for updates in the meantime. I’m working through all my comments now, and I can’t tell you how much joy they still bring to me. As far as updates go, it’s not my desire to leave anything unfinished (at least not from my Ao3 projects). As I work through everything, if I find a project I really can’t stomach anymore, I will mark it accordingly so no one is clinging to hope. I’ll also most likely orphan it so it doesn’t make me anxious lol. To be honest, I just loathe what Wattpad has become, so I highly recommend you come say hey on Ao3 instead as I'll be much more active there, but I will try to keep things updated here since it was my first fanfiction home. Light It Up & Take Me In have been being updated on Ao3 already, so I'll throw those on here first. Beyond that, I have everything outlined, and I generally plan to work through all of my shorter projects first, then focus on the longer things. I will give more specific schedules on each project, but to the absolute best of my ability, I will update something at least once a week. After (knocking on wood), everything is finished, I’m certainly not going to be my high school self again, whipping out seven fics a week, but I have some ideas I love that I never got to write, and as I continue to consume media, I’m sure I’ll have more, so I’m around to stay (hopefully, I’ll start and finish one project at a time for the sake of my own sanity but we all know how likely that actually is).

I am alive, and things are in the works. broken lullabies social media got one new update, which is lame I know, but I also went through and updated the rest of it. reread that for a sneak-peek of the bigger things that are coming.
          
          love ya.
