Greetings, lovelies!

Welcome to Dead of Winter, a story that takes place during the time of Long Shadows and Sunrise. However, the fire never took place in this AU, among some other changes.

WARNING:

This is not a happy-go-lucky story, guys. There is going to be extremely suggestive moments, death, possible psychological torture, and other upsetting themes. Honestly, it might just switch to an M rating later on, down the road. If any of this bothers you, I suggest you find a happier story to read.

For those of you who stick around, prepare for a crazy ride.

Please enjoy!
