It is The Empath Alchemist's one year anniversary.
I can hardly believe I've been working on this story for an entire year, but it has been the most fulfilling, exciting, and therapeutic process I've ever undergone. Thank you all for your patience and unconditional support. I'm so beyond happy that you find joy in something that has made me so incredibly happy to create.
With the being said, in honor of it having been a year since I first published this story, I've created a playlist for just for this fan fiction. Each song is specific to a relationship or character in the story and I'm excited to share it with you! We can all cry together now.
Below I'm going to put the link to the Spotify playlist as well as the title of each song, what character it corresponds to, and how it corresponds if necessary in case you're curious about how any songs relate to the story. Enjoy and thank you.
