The Choices We Make by OnyxIvyStone

Before we begin...

So... Yeah, I already posted this once today and then I chickened out and erased it. Why did I chicken out? Because I am more insecure about this story than any other one I've ever written. It's like a testament to a nearly two year bout with writer's block. There are fragments and fractures of this story incorportated in nearly every other Inuyasha fan fic I've ever written because those parts are actually good. I feel like this story is naked and exposed because it was my first venture into this genre and type of writing. Lo ciento. I appologize. Please try to forgive me for being such a big chicken and erasing this story. I won't do it again. So now, on to reposting. This should all be up in the next half hour or so.

Peace.

To the reader;

I am posting this in order to let you all know that I am in the process of rewriting this story. My inner editing monkey has had enough and so I am reworking much of the story, adding much of the final tid-bit "Everything in Between" and taking a good deal of the advice that my readers have given me in their comments. I am a perfectionist and I have had enough. Once the story is completely edited, I will be replacing this notice with a short essay on why I did what I did and changed what I changed. Yes, there's more than just editing going on here, gentle readers, there's actual changes made because I believe many of you are right. I'm not saying who or about what, but there are many truths that your comments have brought to my attention and I completely intend to address them as well as I am able. This might be my first story, but it's my pet story and deserves to have a complete and entirely acceptable outcome. At least from my point of view. So, without further ado, please enjoy this reworking of my very first story. It is for all of you. Because I love you.

Always.
