Thank you for the interest! Due to technical issues from last summer, this story is unfortunately between cancelled and on hiatus. I still occasionally write the drafts for L'Hiver in the event I pick it up again in the future.

This means a lot, thank you <33

Thank you! I truly appreciate your kind words :D

Don't worry, this story is still ongoing behind the scenes <3
