Hi there everyone! You can call me Ari :)

I've been busy dabbling in art as of late so I haven't been writing nearly as much as I'd like to.

I don't know for how long I'll be back, or what exactly I'll be able to put out while I'm here, but I miss the emotional catharsis that posting fics for you lovely people used to give me. Every time I get a new favorite or follow notice in my email, I just want to cry I'm so happy that even after all this time, people are still reading and liking my work. Things like that really motivate me to keep trying, so my sincerest thanks to all of you.

All my new stuff will also be posted on Ao3 but I will not remove anything from on here, because the comments that have accumulated over the years is something of a testament to my merit as a writer - sounds weird but I assure you this isn't arrogance. Writers are often some of the most insecure people you will ever meet, and I am no exception. I look back at comments and feel like my existence has been somewhat validated ;

I do hope that even after all this time, everyone will still enjoy what I have to offer. I'll try not to disappoint.

Everyone remembers Diamond Crevasse right? Well a1y-puff was kind enough to create a wonderful piece of fanart for it. It's called Find Me and it's a beautiful portrayal of the scene at the end of the fic.
