Dear Readers,

I'm adding this as a separate addition before the story only because this story contains a very high level of ANGST- dealing with mentions of death of a major character, and grieving. If any of these are your trigger issues, please be warned, keep safe and avoid reading.

You are your own best judge. A story is not more important than your mental health- please don't read if any of these bother you.

If you still continue reading, I want you to know that due to the sensitive premise, I have avoided making anyone read it, and as such, this is not beta-ed. Any and all errors you find are mine, and apologies in advance.

Also, this story is 7 chapters long and I have already finished writing it. Unless ffn fails me, I will post one chapter a day, starting today.

Last but not least, if you stay with this story, thank you for reading. For some very personal reasons, this story is very close to my heart, a sort of wish-fulfilment really.

Azalea.
