Foreword
First and foremost, I suppose I need to get it out in the open, and therefore out of the way, that this story is centered around mpreg. It might have been easy to miss in the tags. But make no mistake, it’s heavily featured in this story. I used to write a lot of it when I was younger, and into other fandoms that catered more towards it as a popular genre. But then as I started writing more and more kpop, I stepped away from it. This is my first wading back into the shallows, so to say, in a very long time. That said, if it isn’t your cup of tea, if that sort of thing turns you off, or disinterests you, no harm no foul, that back button is up there for a reason.
That said, this story isn’t really about mpreg after all. I know, I know, let me explain. There is mpreg in this story. It is a focal point. But that’s not really what this story is about. I write stories based around characters, and character arcs. This story is no different. And at its heart, this story is about two people who are lost, or broken, or maybe need to do a lot of changing to get to a better place in their lives. This is a story about character growth and development, about loss and the pain that comes with it. This is about adversity and personal struggle, about themes of control and suicide, family duty, peer pressure, and challenging relationships. Yes, there is a baby here, and yes, the baby is the catalyst, but the story is more about two people learning to fix themselves, and learning to love each other.
As always, I want to give warnings for anyone sensitive to specific topics contained herein. This story is heavily, heavily themed by the topic of loss. There has been the death of a child in this story, before the child was born, but late into the pregnancy. As a result, the topic of suicide does come up a couple of times. If you’re sensitive to the topic of child death so late into a pregnancy, or the topic of abortion, or the topic of outside parties attempting to control the gestation of a pregnancy, bow out now. All of these things occur in this story, along with some heavy angst topics like grief and remorse and guilt, and most of this story features characters who do not have it together. Don’t get me wrong, there’s some lightheartedness to the story, and some happiness, but also some heavy things. This is the warning.
Otherwise, please be warned that this story is extremely long, character rather than plot based, and if you choose to read, buckle in.
The story updates every weekend barring any real life issues.
