author's note

 i began writing this for #thegreattakeover and somehow, i became really attached to it. i'm from india, a country where homosexuality is considered illegal. it's fucking horrible and people have protested against it in vain. people who target the lgbt+ community really need to back off. it's not a 'disease' for god's sake, so stop acting like it's bloody criminal. it's not. and please don't use religion as an excuse. fine, your religion is uncomfortable with homosexuality, just say that. don't tell someone from the lgbt+ community that you hate them because your religion permits you to. if you're homophobic and make queer people feel shit about themselves then fuck you. i'm sorry but fuck you.

laura and aria's relationship was based on nothing but love. this story is dedicated to every one of those people who are targetted because of their sexuality or have been deprived of a decent chance at life just beacuse they're a part of the lgbt+ community. 

thank you so much for reading this story, it means the world to me.
