a/n: alright kiddos. this work has been posted on ao3 for like what has been almost an entire year, and apparently people actually like it.
like, the discord server I'm on for fanfics and stuff has a bunch of ppl who have already read this and LIKED IT- like- wtf- i have this one person who liked this so much that they downloaded every new chapter on their phone every single time i updated- and they've only uploaded 7 works onto their phone in their entire fanfic-reading career. obviously you can tell i was super honored to have one of my works be included in those 7.
i am only 15 and i feel like i'm famous- people complimenting my work gives me weird gooey feelings in my chest and i don't like it. it feels weird. to ask about this work and suddenly five different people are going "oh yeah I've read that a while ago" and then finding out they actually liked it?!?!?!
yeah, it's kinda hard to comprehend that. i'm used to being a nobody. i can't exactly cope with the idea that multiple ppl have not only read but like my writing.
so, then, why post this on wattpad? well, first, cuz i wanted to ✌😎. second, i just really wanted to do moodboards and character aesthetics for this story but ao3 kinda sucks ass on that front, lmao. so i had a big-brain lightbulb moment and decided that "yippe, putting this shit post on wattpad is gonna be awesome!!!"
clearly i've had better ideas.
but well, if y'all end up hating this, then, ahahaha, nova, i told you my writing was shit and ppl should not like it that much-
~ lia.
p.s. oh yeah, ao3 has kinda spoiled me with its tagging system and now i find wattpad's tagging system hilariously and frustratingly incompetent. so, just for fun, here is a lil screenshot of my actual tags on ao3.

yeah, i know i'm a nutcase. you don't have to remind me. that's what my internet wife and adopted children are for.
p.p.s. this is still on hiatus. oops. the 5 chapters that i wrote before the hiatus are still going up though. i should update anytime this summer, lmao.
