Author's Note: Writing this fic was fun and extremely challenging. I went through a lot to get to the finish line but let me tell you I loved every second of it. And it’s finally here! But this monster of a story wouldn’t have materialized without all of these people who held my hand and encouraged me all the way. To the NC, to my earliest beta readers N and J, to the legendary Justice League (J, E, L) thank you for your invaluable input, for reminding me of plot holes and assuring me that my writing is halfway decent. To the mods, thank you for organizing this fic exchange for KaiSoo’s birthday, and for being extremely patient and understanding with me. Without your kindness, I would have given up finishing this fic a long time ago. To my beta buddy and best friend I, thank you so much for being there the entire journey, from start to finish; from the birth of this idea to the crippling moments of trying to finish it in time, thank you. Without you, this fic wouldn’t be the way it is. To my recipient, at1stsoo, I’m sorry it took so long for your fic to arrive. But hopefully it’s at least worth the wait! I hope you enjoy! To anyone else who chances this a read, from the bottom of my heart, thank you.
