A/N: This chapter's title was inspired by a beautiful, lengthy quote I recently discovered & wished to share with all of you, especially considering how relevant it is to all of my current & future projects, main stories & bonus content alike.😉💖🔮🖤

Here is the quote in full; "A soulmate is someone who you can completely be yourself with. Someone with whom you share unconditional love and when you look into each other's eyes, you know that you are home."~Arielle Ford.🌹

⚠️TW/CW: Mild language in one of the character quotes.⚠️

Friendly Reminders

~ As I mentioned in the last book poll chapter, I ask all of you to do what you can to limit the emoji-only comments, because they give me less clear input from you, are harder for me to reply to, & don't leave as much room or encouragement for the back-&-forths I ADORE having with you guys.

~ I make these polls to get your input & am putting my trust in you to give sincere, honest, & respectful feedback. I'm well aware that the decisions of what I create & when I share it with you ultimately lay in my hands at the end of the night, but I wish for your input regardless; it helps me determine the best & preferably, most enjoyable paths to take.

~ As I'm sure my long-time friends & readers know, I tend to ask you guys questions in my comment replies. I know that things can pop up out of nowhere, and I want to remind you all that I understand & respect it. At the end of the day, I prefer late/delayed comment replies over none, especially to my comment replies that involve one or more questions.

~ All of the above applies to all of my books; figured I'd mention it since most, if not all, of you are beautifully invested readers of two or more of my main books, as well as my other bonus content projects.

As always, choose wisely.😉🪶🔮🌙🦋

🪶Now, I know I've asked questions similar to this one many times before, however, this one differs from its descendants due to the new information I'm giving this time around. Out of the yet-to-be-started series listed below, which 2-3 of them would you love to see me start in the relatively near future, & why? {Yes, you can cast a vote for ALL 3 series below if you wish as long as you're being honest. Please give reasoning for whichever ones you choose.}

~ Half A Heart {Henry Mills x OC}- My upcoming Once Upon A Time {OUAT} series. It will star Ms. Lorelai Devyn Halloway, a young OC of mine that I've given you bits of insight on in a few of my character boards {a solo board & one of her & Henry}.

Book 1 will begin a handful of years before the events of the show's Season 1, and, just like my other stories, will deal with a fair number of heavy topics/themes, including but not limited to: grief/mourning, betrayal, life-threatening injuries/illnesses, death, & loss of identity.

"Rubes, have you..."~Lorelai "Dev/Lore/Scar" Devyn Halloway {Book & Chapter TBD}

~ All Or Nothing {Remus Lupin x OC}- One of my two Magic in the Making sister-series; unlike the other one {Our Forever}, you will be able to read this one whether or not you've started reading Book 1 of Magic in the Making, let alone are fully caught up on its current chapters, due to All Or Nothing being a prequel series.

The series will start near the start of Ms. Genevieve Cassidy Lupin's {maiden name to-be-revealed} first year at Hogwarts alongside our other Marauders' era kids, and will finish up during our darling Ms. Maddie-May's early years in the world.

And, due to the nature of this saga, there will be heart-melting moments, bittersweet scenes, mischief overload, magic of every kind, unspeakable tragedies, & colorful language galore.

"I propose a toast to Vivy, the greatest Auror our world will ever know!"~Sirius "Uncle O./Sirion/Padfoot" Orion Black {Book & Chapter TBD}

~ You Are The Reason- Unlike the two series listed above, this saga will not have a romance for our ringleader, Ms. Adelaide Johanna Harmon-Phoenix, and, additionally, will not begin before or at the start of the original source material; Escape the Night {ETN}. Instead, Book 1 will be my version of ETN Season 2, which will involve Victorian era territory.

This series will be uncharted waters for me, due to it not having a leading love story of the romantic variety, venturing deep into bygone eras, involving a heavy amount of violence/blood/gore, & holding a storm of dark times for everyone involved in its telling.

"Yes, you were, because you screwed around with the damn Psychedelic Swirl before we were able to fully cleanse it!"~Adelaide "AJ/Harper/Ada" Johanna Harmon-Phoenix {Book & Chapter TBD}

~ ~ ~

🌙On a similar note, I'd like to know this; which 3-4 of the 5 bonus content projects below would you MOST like to see debuted in the near future, & why?

~ "From Shadows to Starlight"- My one-shot & imagine collection for More Than Anything; a sweet bonus book to keep Ms. Mackenzie Elliana Forge's saga company. Just like with my graphics vaults, I will be accepting one-shot/imagine requests from you guys & there will be a specific chapter for 'em along with the usual intro jazz {pun intended} at the collection's start.

~ "Letters for You"- I've mentioned this one a few times before; a collection of notes/letters that are right out of my main books, within the given book's universe, and/or requested by you, my lovely sweetsparks. There'll be a request-specific chapter near the start of this one too.

~ "Toil & Trouble"- Yet another volume of imagines & one-shots, though this one is going to be catered to my lovely Topazes. Aside from the usual creations from the topsy-turvy mind of yours truly, requests will also be welcomed {in the specified chapter for 'em, of course}. And, due to the expanse of this particular project's universe, there'll be content in it for all 3 of my Magic in the Making series: MitM, All Or Nothing, & Our Forever.

~ "In Another Life..."- I've told you guys about this one too; the collection of alternate scenes out of my current & future main stories {"More Than Fate", "Magic in the Making", "The Faded Star", etc.} Just like my one-shot books, this one will most likely be better to read after reading the given books, but that's just my thoughts, and I'm more than a little bit biased.

~ "Sunset's Graphics Vault III"- Last, but certainly not least, the already highly anticipated 3rd addition to my well-loved graphic vault series. You can expect the same formatting that I've given most of "VII", more or less, though I'll be tightening up my vault rules a bit in "VIII", & I won't be taking book cover requests anymore.

Other than all of that, you'll still be getting a variety of emotionally toned character quotes, wide spectrum of color palettes, plenty of subtle & not-so-subtle references, &, of course, more lovely ship names from yours truly.

A/N: And, there you have it; the latest Mixed-Bag book poll finished!🖤🌙🖤

Up next, you guys are getting another two rounds of Magic in the Making, All Or Nothing, & Our Forever series-centric 'Guess the Characters'.💞🦋

I've only written out the author's notes for 'em as I'm writing this, so I'm not sure how long of a wait it'll be before they're ready to post.⌚

For right now, I'll be working on "Magic in the Making" & "More Than Fate"; I ask that you try to get caught up on 'em before more new chapters come.📚

Questions of the Day

~ Do you guys have any question ideas to send my way for future book polls?

~ Are there any specific series of mine that you'd like to see more content for MOST in future polls, character boards, 'Guess the Characters' rounds, etc.?

~ For my "VII" readers, how would you feel about one more 'Our Beloved Gents' chapter before the vault's end? {That way, I'd be able to include the debut boards of Charlie Swan & Waylon Forge in "VII" with more character quotes for 'em, instead of you guys having to wait until "VIII"}

~Love, Sunset
