Hello lovely readers!
          	
          	Life likes to take twists and turns, but I'm still working on my fics when I can! 
          	
          	Something I wanted to give a heads up about is that Flowered Daggers may look a little different with the next update. My art style has changed over the years and after making the cover art for Rhapsody in Red, I noticed the stark different in quality between the two fic covers. So! Flowered Daggers is going to get an updated cover art alongside the next chapter when it's all ready to go!! I hope y'all like it!
          	
          	Until next time, take care!

Hey y'all! Wanted to let ya know that I'm currently working on the next chapter of Flowered Daggers while also planning out another Persona 5 story that's inspired by the club Jazz Jin in P5 Royal. 
          
          This will be another Joker x Reader, but gonna try again at the gender neutral approach. It might be a little rough at first, but the only way to get better is through practice! And yes, I know Ren Amamiya is Joker's finalized canon name, but I still prefer the manga canon name of Akira Kurusu so that's what I'm going with.
          
          This new story is still in the rough outline stages, but here's a little bit of an idea on what to expect:
          
          ~~~
          This is your third year attending the prestigious Kosei High in hopes of making it big in the music industry. With Kosei being well known for it's fine arts programs and mentorships, your chances are looking very good. This is especially true given your skillful mastery of several different instruments and composing your own songs.
          
          As with everyone else in these trying times, however, you have your own share of problems. If anyone paid attention to your musical tales, some might even say you could use a little help from the Phantom Thieves. That is, if you even believed your problems to be worth the famous Thieves' time. This being said, nothing in life is free and a choice ultimately must be made... 
          
          Caught up in an unfair situation, which path will you walk in the end? Will you submit to a contract that would control your life and music career, but easily support your struggling family? Or will you make a selfish vow to keep your musician's soul free, even if it means risking everything you hold dear? These are the two options you're faced with - the struggle that keeps you up at night… and the deadline draws ever closer.
          
          But perhaps the path forward is hidden in a deal made from a chance encounter one summer evening...
          ~~~
          
          Please look forward to "Rhapsody in Red"! 
          Until next time, take care!

2.5 years is a long time. A lot can happen - getting out of an abusive relationship, moving, getting a new job, getting extremely sick for a few months (thankfully not COVID), and more....
          
          Admittedly part of why I didn't update Flowered Daggers sooner was because my love of Persona 5 was soured badly by association with my ex in 2019, not long after posting Ch7... I'm not going into details beyond that, and looking back I should have officially put the story on haitus... But at the time I feared if I did go on official hiatus that I'd never come back...
          
          This all being said, I'm rediscovering my love of the Persona series, especially P5, and this fic has always remained in the back of my mind all this time. So here I am, wiping the dust off this little fic and getting to work on the next chapter.
          
          I know Flowered Daggers has gains a lot of votes, comments, and saves, while I've gained lots of followers despite not actively updating. So I also want to thank you all for your support all this time. I means a lot to me seeing how much people love this story and have been waiting for it to continue.
          
          So please look forward to the next chapter of Flowered Daggers, coming soon!

mareayyyyy

heyo, i'm a big fan of your persona 5 fic ^^ just wondering if you were gonna update it anytime soon, it seems to have been over a year since the last chapter- even if you might not intend on updating it soon i'd like to know so that i don't get worried or smth over nothing
          
          + i may or may not be a bit worried because you did say you planned to get at least one chapter out each month of 2019 but haven't updated since january of that year :')

@mareayyyyy Hi! Yes! Hello! Apologies for being a year late but I am alive and I will be updating Flowered Daggers soon!

CH 7 of Flowered Daggers has been posted! (Just in case you haven't gotten the memo yet.)
          
          It's been nearly a year since the last full chapter... WHERE DID 2018 GO?? I'm glad it's over though... it was a rough time. But thank you all for your patience and continued support during this time!
          
          And 2019 will be the year of writing for me!! I do have a plan to get at least one new chapter out every month, if not two. Let's really make some progress on this story and have fun!
          
          Until next time, take care~ ^_^

Home sick from work, but that means I can finish editing the next Flowered Daggers chapter! And it's a looooong one. (A little over 14 pages as of this post, I suspect it will be a full 15 pages when done with the edits.)
          
          I hope you all enjoy it as much as I did writing it! Be back soon with the chapter! ^_^

Dragaura

For those who follow me, you get a special heads up~ 
          
          Ch 6 of Flowered Daggers will be coming soon~ Just as soon as I'm done editing it! ^_^ 
          
          It's a lengthy chapter and it's the longest one so far at over 6500 words! (To help make up for the lack of updates? ^_^;;; )
          
          Thank you again for your patience y'all! And see you again soon with the new chapter!
