Ok so I originally started this as a joke, but I decided to finish it up recently & it turned out a little more serious than I'd planned...

I feel like this has helped me get out of my writing slump a little bit, so hopefully if I have time I'll be able to do some more writing this year! Fingers crossed! Anyway, hope this is an ok story lol XD
