this prompt kept calling my name and i ended up claiming it a little over a week before posting started, and every email i sent from then on was literally 'mods help can i have another extension for a fic i may never even finish'
but mods you never made me feel like i couldn't talk to you, and even when i worried i might have to drop out, you were always supportive of my wellbeing above everything else. without your sweet personalities and hard work, my fic definitely wouldn't exist, thank you so much :)

and, to the readers who stuck around to the very end of this fest and gave my fic (and all the other fics!) a chance, you mean the world to me and i'm sure you made many days so much brighter.

thank you everyone for a lovely experience!
