hey everyone,
          	
          	i’m happy to say that i’ve officially finished my final college exams — it’s been a hectic few weeks, but everything’s wrapped up now, and i’m finally able to get back to writing.
          	
          	thank you so much for your patience while i took a step back to focus on studying. taking that break was definitely the right call, and i really appreciate the continued support in the meantime.
          	
          	with that said, “the crown and the thorn” will be getting some updated chapters over the next few weeks. i’ve had time to revisit the story and map out what’s coming next, and i’m excited to finally share more of it with you.
          	
          	i’ll be easing back into my usual writing schedule, so keep an eye out for new updates soon.
          	
          	thanks again for sticking around — it means a lot.
          	
          	see you in the next chapter.
          	
          	❤️

hey guys!!!
          
          after some consideration, i’ve decided to take a break from writing until late june — nothing bad, i promise. my final exams for college are in less than two weeks, and i need to put revising as my number one priority, so that means having to sacrifice uploading any new chapters for a while. 
          
          as much i want to keep writing, i have no free time to sit down and produce quality chapters for you guys, and honestly, i’m too stressed to even think about trying to write. so, i have made the decision to stop uploading until my exams have finished. i need to focus on getting the grades for my university course, and writing fanfiction isn’t a priority. 
          
          once my exams are finished, i will go back to uploading chapters every friday and sunday, but as of right now, my focus is passing exams and hopefully getting onto my criminal investigation + policing course (hopefully)
          
          thank you so much for the current love and support on my books, i’m forever grateful
          
          see you guys in june❤️

helloooo!!
          
          i know i’ve been super distant with uploading new chapters lately — trust me, it hasn’t been intentional. with exams creeping up, i’ve been deep in revision mode and honestly haven’t had the time (or brainpower) to sit down and properly work on my stories.
          
          BUT! i haven’t completely disappeared. behind the scenes, i’ve actually been working on creating my own blog! 
          
          it’s called Trackside Tales, and it’s been sitting in my drafts for months. i’ve always wanted a space where i can ramble and share thoughts — so i finally went for it and posted my first entry!! please check it out if you can!!
          
          also: i’m trying something new to make my uploads more consistent (and hopefully way less chaotic than before):
          	•	CROWN & THE THORN — new chapters every friday
          	•	A STUDY IN SCARLET & SIN — new chapters every sunday
          
          this might shift slightly if i’m swamped with college and work or, for once, i actually go outside and socialise. (most likely not going to happen, but we dream).

ANNNNND that’s a wrap on “Sumas de Peccatis”!! easily one of my favourite short stories i’ve written — thank you from the bottom of my heart for all the love, support, and chaos along the way. this one meant a lot❤️
          
          but don’t think for a second that it’s over — there’s more coming!! 
          
          → HIS TO PROTECT
          In the glittering yet treacherous world of Monaco, where wealth is both a shield and a cage, reckless Prince Charles Leclerc finds himself under the unyielding watch of Max Verstappen — a silent, calculating bodyguard assigned to protect him when a stalker’s obsession turns deadly. But as the walls close in and the line between safety and suffocation blurs, Charles starts to wonder: is Max his protector, or is the real danger standing right beside him?
          
          AND/OR
          
          → A Study in Scarlet and Sin
          Inspired by Doyle’s Sherlock Holmes, this reimagining follows detective Max Verstappen, a man of cold logic and razor-sharp deduction, as he is forced into an uneasy partnership with journalist Charles Leclerc. What begins as an investigation spirals into a tangled web of secrets, obsession, and something neither of them expected — because even the greatest detective can be blinded. Not by darkness, but by the one person who sees him too clearly.
          
          the next chapter starts now. are you ready?
