Kicking it into gear! · 12:17am Feb 22nd, 2020

Hello everyone!

I know I have been inactive for well over 2 years now and I can post something to make up for it. I'm getting ready to start a new story and I hope you guys like it! Should be out within 1-2 days of this post, or less depending on how fast I can get it done.

I'll post more when I can!
