Clinging On (KARLNAP)

Introduction:

Hello! This is my first fanfic, I've written before but not a fanfic. I'm really excited to share this story! Also please read all of the following information, it's kind of important!

cover art done by: colorfulkooks on insta
Banner art for "Introduction:" done by  ecko_sketches on insta
Banner art for "Cereal" done by @tords.colorful.gun on insta

if you want to submit cover art/banner art to me please do! I'd love to see it!

Rules regarding ownership and republishing:
I am very strict about people stealing my work, it doesn't feel good when people steal your effort as their own so please don't republish this anywhere even if you credit me as the author.

I do have someone who I've granted permission to translate this story into a different language, that language being Polish, I'm open to more people translating my story but I must receive a private message to exchange rules of ownership.

Don't steal my work is all.

DISCLAIMER:
The ccs have all said they were cool about fan fictions being written about them. If anything changes from now and I need to take this down, I will! Also I do no ship the real people, but rather their personas and I am shipping the built characters I made from them.

Trigger Warning Information:
I will be sure to put the following subjects before each chapter. I would like to say there isn't too much to be sensitive about but I would be lying for the first few chapters. This story does deal with the concept of suicide, anxiety, self harm, violence, domestic abuse, death, and seizures (I am currently still writing and I am trying to stray away the trope of active homophobia but it may come up, I will warn before each chapter though) Also there will be NO SMUT, I repeat NO SMUT ONLY HEATED MOMENTS HERE AND THERE. I'd like to say that you could read this story and skip through all of the bits that you may feel sensitive to but you really won't get the full story. I urge you to be careful while reading!

Back Ground Information about the AU:

Each person at the age of 18 gets an envelope and a mark of where your soulmate first touches you, the mark goes away after a year if you haven't met/touched your soulmate. It also will turn your soulmates favorite color once they touch each other both affectionately, so a hand shake or a high five wouldn't count, and the mark will fade away once after a year once they first kiss. The envelope is given to them mysteriously, You can only put one piece of paper in the envelope and once you seal the envelope the envelope will be delivered to your soulmate by the next 24 hours.

All author's notes will be in the following format at the end of each chapter:

AN: Blah blah blah yada yada yada

My Update Schedule For New Chapters

I am planning on uploading one chapter per week at least. But if you want updates on exactly when I release a new chapter I will be getting a tiktok, I will link it in one of these chapters in the author's notes! Also If any of y'all want to make cover art let me know!
