By the Sea (Howl x Reader)

An Apology

      I'd like to be very blunt about this. In chapter three there is depiction of sexual assault and harassment and I had not put a trigger warning when I first posted the chapter. I would like to extend an apology to all of you who read that chapter and were triggered or felt uncomfortable or unprepared without the warning. I now realize that labeling a book as mature doesn't count as a trigger warning and that was 100% my fault.
Thank you to @caprishitxox for bringing my attention to the need of a trigger warning, though it should have been obvious for me to put one there- I digress. I would also like to thank them for putting a trigger warning at the beginning of that chapter as well.
      I am incredibly ashamed that I did not think to put a trigger warning there, and I hope we can move forward as a community, as I promise to never make this same mistake again.
Thank you all for your comments, engagement and enjoyment of my story. I am currently working on future chapters so please be on the look out.
My apologies for those who thought this might have been an update, but this was something I believed needed to be addressed urgently.
