I know you wrote this awhile ago but I just stumbled onto this site (looking for a Fanfiction home) and read both stories and was completely engrossed. I was sitting here at my laptop in tears at the end. Kudos to you! I do hope you'll write the third book and share it!
Comment swap brought me here and I'm not to lie, I didn't read the prequel but I did read the first couple of chapters. You have an interesting concept from what I'm gathering. Although its not my genre, you're a decent writer and you still managed to capture my attention! I wish you luck in writing more for this story if you're continuing it.
