   Summary

   For Most people, Kaiju are their greatest fear. But for others, there's a fear that far surpasses that. A fear of daily life. Estella Nakao was an underdog just when it comes to surviving, barely stumbling through her every day.

   Until hope shows up in a very unexpected way.

   But who knows what a little hope will actually cost in the end.

   Since this fic is so long, I do not want anyone to be caught off guard on the direction this story goes so here's a spoiler-free high level story expectation:

   Arc 1&2 (Chapter 1-22) : Teeth-rotting sweet loving fluffy fluff.

   Arc 3&4 (Chapter 23-TBD): Dark elements start being introduced with a heavy focus on psychological trauma

   Arc 5&6 : Extremely heavy elements; gore, death, explicit content, ect.

   Arc 7+ : TBD...

   **Overall, a lot of OCs introduced and lots of subplots going into the world building that was only ever hinted at in source material**
