Chapter Text
[breaks fourth wall]
Alright, y'all, here's the deal: I haven't updated this fic since Aug 2014. The reason for that is I have since written, and published, a book based on this very fic. My hope in posting this update is that if you enjoyed reading what sparked my first novel, you'll also enjoy the final result. It's called The Alchemy of Being Fourteen and it is about two teenage sisters named Winter and Arden Allister.
After the book was released, I actually had an essay published in Forces of Geek about how much this a03 community meant to me, and still does, during the writing process. The epub is widely available online (.99 on Amazon, I think) and "pay what you want" on Smashwords, but I've also uploaded it to my Google Drive in case any of y'all want me to send it to you. It is the least I can do.
I gotta shelve this fic for the time being because it diverged into my own story, but thank you so much for everyone who left kind comments and kudos and words of encouragement — it meant a great deal to me.
