Hi, it's me. So like, was anyone going to tell me that Kuroshitsuji was coming back or was I supposed to just log on to and get smacked in the face by over a decade of nostalgia? What the fuck CloverWorks.

I am making this post for several reasons.

One, if you followed/favourited this story back in 2015 back when you were a teenager with a debilitating crush on Sebastian Michaelis, this is me digging up the crusty bones of that period of your life and depositing them in your mailbox like the most talented golden retriever. You will never be free.

Two, I've decided to re-upload this story to Wattpad under the same title, hopefully with far better and more consistent editing. Unfortunately, after beginning university I lost much of my earlier verve for writing due to a myriad of personal constraints. However, I will be graduating soon and am therefore hoping to regain that enthusiasm by re-reading my old stuff.

If it so happens that Black and Red is no longer your cup of tea because you're an adult who's moved on to other hot cartoon men and Sebastian Michaelis no longer hits like he used to, I will also be uploading a General fic titled "Marionette Strings" which was up on my other account. Finally, if things go well enough, I hope to include my deleted OHSHC fanfic, A Host Club's Hostess (also with better/more consistent editing).

All that said, I truly hope you are all doing well. I started writing this story when I was 15, and reading through all your comments made me so happy back then. Thank you all, and I hope you have a happy summer. Please take care of yourselves, drink plenty of water, and be safe.

All my love,

Indigo
