Hello hello, just jumping in here nice and quick to say At the Water's Edge is on a temporary hiatus. I've been fighting off a stomach flu/stomach ulcer/something, and I've also shifted focus to try and get completed as it is quite close to the end. This story is set in the same universe, about 150 years prior to At the Water's Edge, and it features a young Gong Lau Yan as a side character.

  You could be reading stolen content. Head to Royal Road for the genuine story.

  If you want to read something completed from the same universe, Eitsu's Nine Lives is available on and . Flagging for NSFW content.

  I will return to this story soon (promise, I've already written the epilogue).
