The Line of Kings by Michiru
Fanwork Notes
My first ever completed work (with chapters), and one of my goals for the Season of Writing Dangerously. Many heartfelt thanks to Dawn for cheerleading me through the season. Asterisks will mark mature-themed pieces.
As this piece is complete, I'll be submitting a chapter roughly every week/week and a half, barring any Unforseen Occurences. As I am a college student, Unforseen Occurences are a fact of life, but I'll do my best.
