Catching The Stars

Disclaimer

I am still a new writer, learning and growing with every word I put down on the page. Because of this, you may notice grammatical errors, awkward phrasing, or sentences that don't flow as smoothly as they could. I ask for your patience and understanding as I continue to learn, improve, and find my voice. Every comment, every read, and every moment you spend with this story means more to me than I can say - thank you for joining me at the very beginning of this journey.

This is a work of fiction. All names, characters, and events portrayed in this story are entirely fictional and do not represent any real person, family, or event. Any similarities to real individuals - living or deceased - are purely coincidental.

Catching The Stars explores themes of love, fear, emotional patterns, and healing. Some depictions of relationships and family dynamics may be sensitive for some readers. Please take care of yourself while reading.

Content Warning:  This story also includes strong language used to express genuine emotion. These themes are written to show growth, healing, and breaking harmful cycles — they are not meant to be romanticized, normalized, or taken as standards of healthy relationships.  Reader discretion is advised.

There are no intended portrayers to represent any character within these pages. Every single person you will meet in this story was created entirely from scratch - they exist only here, between these lines, and nowhere else.

Because of this, you are completely free to imagine them however you see fit. There is no "right" or "wrong" way to picture Astra, Erich, or anyone else. You get to decide what they look like. They are yours to picture in whatever way feels most real, most beautiful, and most right to you.
