ah I am so glad to hear that it got you emotional! :D it means I did something right and I am relieved~ I didn't wanna make it one of those fics where they just... flip a switch and all the bad things go away. it takes time, life takes time, and they needed to see that :3

thank you for reading and commenting! this story... it ate my soul up until I wrote it, it was pretty obsessive, haha. one of those stories that just demand to be told. awh, and I'm sure they now know to value what they have in each other. won't be easy, but they'll manage ;3 they've got so much will to pull through!
