Welcome and thank you for taking interest in my story <3

This story started as a short story. "Nine chapters, that's about it, 15k words, yes." Yeahhhh so I have a problem with writing little stories, so this one grew up to be 80k words long with 50 parts and a double-pov [Edit 2025, now 105k words]

This story has quite a heavy themes, but it is a healing journey, so I hope you enjoy it <3

EDIT 2025

This story has now reached its final form.
