Notes and Stuff

Author's Note

Well this was a fun one to write. Especially during the last 14k words in which I broke my one hour sprint record because of how much I was enjoying the story, and got my second highest total word count in a single day. This story leaves off pretty well, with room for sequels, but for me to pursue one this story would have to get very popular. Shall we say… 500 likes and 8 reviews? The Jeries is taking priority hehe. Unless y'all start transitioning from Ylfa to Yumie…

Same place, same time, same terrible luck
Somebody tell me how I'm getting out of this one”
