Hey everyone, long time no updates. As some of you might be thinking WildCard555 you've never just done an update(or if you did it was for a one-shot connected to said story). Just felt like saying a couple of things.

First for those wondering why now is he doing this? The last 2 years I've had problems with stress/depression. Cutting this down short my former job was a huge source of these problems(literally carried the entire company on my shoulders for said 2 years). That stress/depression was a huge part of why my production has been so low. The stress got to the point I called in sick this last September because one morning I thought of several different ways to end myself rather than going in to work that day, and I nearly did a few of them. I was also in other situations(still am with a couple actually) where I simply couldn't quit for the longest time. But like I said it got to the point where if I didn't get a new job soon I would have those urges again. Luckily I've started a new job in October and have been feeling a lot better since then. Hell just letting this out I feel a huge weight being lifted off of my shoulders.

Next I'll get to the point on why this story is getting the update. I won't be doing another update for this story. I know this might hurt some of you seeing how most people who have read this story have like/loved it. However I'd say overall this story had the least amount of passion from me when typing it up. It's something I only did for all of you sometime after chapters 10-14. At that point onward I didn't really want to continue but its kind of hard to just stop a story with a few hundred reviews, plus recognizing that this is the story that made my name on this site. Fast forward to a couple of months on the new job I've tried to start typing for this story(Feeling awful for Lucy being in labor of years now) and a few others, but I kept feeling trapped whenever I did type for most of my stories. With where I was mentally a couple months ago I don't want to have that feeling of being trapped. So for my own sanity I'll be dropping most of my stories. Right now the only one I can guarantee won't be discontinued will be Demon Take Over(which is kind of fucked up for those who have read it).

So again, I'm not done writing fanfiction, but I want to be honest with this update on how I've been, and my plans going forward. I'll also say don't be surprised if in the next couple of days a couple of chapters of Dragon's Tear possibly getting deleted with an update on why.

Lastly I don't want to leave this story on such a cliffhanger so I'll finish this update with what would have happened next.

Kuro would have been stillborn. Zeref seeing Lucy just destroyed by this freezes time revealing himself to her, and his plan. This breaks Lucy even further hearing all this until he vows that he truly came to love her and their son whom he would be holding at this point. Including her lineage of angle blood making her immune to him and being the only one alive who could kill him. Essentially next the transfers everything he has into his son bringing him back at the cost of his own life. His last word saying he loves Lucy and Kuro as he places the crying newborn in his mother's arms. His two angels. Time back to normal Lucy sill crying says I love you too my demon, and that she will raise Kuro with all the love they both have for him.

Until next time my lovely readers.

Have an awesome one.

WildCard555 out.
