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 I'm really not the Saviour! 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.

Did you know this story is from Royal Road? Read the official version for free and support the author.

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

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