"To 'know' and to 'understand' mean 2 different things. To 'know' is to merely acknowledge the situation someone is in. To 'understand' is to have gone through the same, or similar situation as someone else."

So, the long and short of why all my stories will be updated sporadically, if at all, is because, in mid-December, 2019, I tried to kill myself. I was admitted to the hospital for a 10-day evaluation, and put on some heavy anti-depressants. While the meds help with the bad thoughts my mind gets stuck in, I... I found that they drove all my muses away. Just know that I am trying, and I will update, just not in any real schedule.

sorry.

The ‘I’ll Take It’ verse, in order

I’ll Take It Summary – pillow talk and revelations. 27X (Yes, that order.) https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12907771/1/I-ll-take-it

I’ll manage Summary: Tsuna is stood up for a date and, after waiting for the man for an absurd length of time, he goes to leave, only to find someone far more intriguing sitting in a booth not too far from his own. This story leads up to "I'll Take It" but you don't have to read that to understand this story. If anything, this gives context to the other. Rated T for mature themes and words. https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12972835/1/I-ll-Manage

I’m ok Summary: "Sex with Xanxus was everything Tsuna had thought it would be, and more. Just as fun, just as passionate, just as thrilling... and just as painful." Tsuna cries and Xanxus comforts. Love... happens. part 3 of the 'I'll Take It' verse https://www.fanfiction.net/s/13014853/1/I-m-ok

I’ll take it 2 "Summary: All Xanxus wants to do is buy a ring. So, why is everyone staring at him like he's out for their blood?" This is the 4th instalment, and possibly the cutest thing I have ever written. https://www.fanfiction.net/s/13099053/1/I-ll-Take-It-2

I trust you Summary: Tsuna's mother makes a breakthrough, realizing everything she did, and specifically what she did to Tsuna. So, they all go to Italy to see her and run into problems and people along the way. Part 5 of the I'll Take It verse. https://www.fanfiction.net/s/13166032/1/I-Trust-You

There will be a part 6 coming out as soon as I Trust You is all out, and by the looks of it, it may finish with 3 chapters, and though I don't know that the summary of what the last one will be, there is a hint about the part in the name of it. "I Do."
