    God, the attention you put into these chapters is something I really appreciate!
    I love how this whole thing is Carmen/Shadowsan + somewhat Carlotta oriented!
    That I really love (cuz there's not a lot of fics out there like that so I love this a whole lot!)
    Great work and I will see ya in the next chapter! 😽💛✨

      Aww, thank you for noticing! 😊 The basic concept for this story goes as far back as late '21/early '22, but I just couldn't crack how to make it flow from a narrative perspective. I ended up pitching the idea to one of my IRL friends (fun fact: I was the one who both introduced her to the series and made her into a fellow Sulotta shipper 😜) and she loved it so much that she spent months helping me brainstorm, map and edit this story. Ultimately though, I do have to thank the show creators as well for laying out the groundwork for me. I even went so far as taking the Five Love Languages quiz as both Shadowsan and my interpretation of Carlotta to check their compatibility (turns out he's much more cuddly than he lets on).

      As for character dymanics, I have to agree with you. I had to specifically write to FFN to even get Carlotta added to the character list over there. It honestly surprises me there aren't more fics with her as a focus, especially her dynamic with Shadowsan; even without shipping them, there's so much potential for stories where they have to figure out some sort of mutual understanding for the sake of their daughter, and so far I have yet to find any.

      Setting Carlotta aside though, I adore what I get to do with Carmen and Shadowsan's relationship in this fic. I know I keep hyping up Chapter 5, but seriously, it's one of the chapters I'm most proud of out of everything I've ever written. ❤️ Hopefully everyone else enjoys reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it...
