Broken Parts And Mended Hearts

Part Four - Butterflies Don't Cause Storms

Cover art was done by the amazing @autiacorart and it is stunning! We commissioned autia back in May 2024 and we couldn't be happier with the result. Just look at them. The eyes, their expressions, the way they are holding their hands...

Cough. So... You've all been waiting for quite a while and we're happy to announce that we're finally able to start posting part 4!

Expect a lot of art, bonus art, lots of drama and fluff. Enjoy and stay tuned for (irregular) updates :)
