Updated Author's Note (June 2022):

Hello all. As some of you may or may not know, my name is Sam, one of the two authors of this fic series. I received a lovely comment here which inspired me to post this update. In order to bring those up to speed who haven't checked the blog anytime recently, "Niki", the other author of this fic, is not a real person. "She" was a catfish who exploited me (a minor at the time) for thousands of dollars worth of labor. I began writing this series at the tender age of fifteen, a freshman in high school much like Aden was in the first fic. At the time she approached me to coauthor something with her, "Niki" told me she was freshly 18, but then told me a few months later she was actually twenty, and then on the blog she said she was twenty-four. Over the several years of working together, she never once snapchatted, skyped, or even called on the phone. She made many attempts to sexually groom me and pressure me into writing sex scenes and smut when I was a literal minor and had never had sex, as well as constantly overshare details of her own (cough, fake, cough) sex life in order to try and pressure me into writing things I didn't want to, even going so far as to tell me straight up to "get it over with and fuck someone already" so I wouldn't be useless for the smut parts of the fic. She isolated me from my group of friends by spreading lies about how I was an uncooperative coauthor (when in actuality I was a struggling high schooler in a rigorous IB program with no financial incentive to do more than I was physically able for this series) and me being a good student was fucking over her patrons on Patreon) and tried to gaslight me about why my friends suddenly ghosted me out of nowhere. "Niki" is a vile, disgusting, and evil human being, and I hope wherever "she" is, she's rotting in hell.

While I understand this fic is very important to a lot of people and many cherish it, I felt it pertinent to open the curtain so that one of my primary abusers in life doesn't get to continue being applauded for something she was only able to do by using me as a human cash-cow. I'm leaving these up for now, but please never sing "Niki"'s praises ever again.

With love, Sam.
