Starting Anew

Slowly getting back into writing! I still love this fic and cringed a bit at my previous writing. So I'm re-editing things, mostly fixing formatting and sentence structure. New to FFn and Refreshed for Dokuga, I hope you like and enjoy my little ficlet!

Unbeated! I am only human, please forgive me for any mistakes, I apologize!
