My first fanfic, so please bear with me and offer any comments and criticism you see fit. The story is going to start out slow but will pick up, and hopefully be something you enjoy! Let me know if there are any formatting issues; I have been doing a lot of copying and pasting between formats and things might have gotten mixed around.
