   Summary

   Enjoy a full-length novel about budding romance and heartbreaking tragedy. This tale follows Komugi and Meruem as they interact in the days leading up to the palace invasion and beyond. All major canon events are preserved, including the one that makes us all suffer and sob uncontrollably. Don't worry, though. You will have a choice of two endings. One of these options leads to a new AU where our beloved couple lives, and an exciting, new adventure begins.  

   New chapters added periodically. For updates, please subscribe.

   Featuring the beautiful art of Fren and Nomi. 

   (Smut may be skipped without sacrificing the flow of the overall narrative. Smut is chapter 23.)
