Author's note:

Hey everyone! Just a quick update—I'll be taking a bit of time to plan the upcoming Iron Islands arc for this fic. It shouldn't take too long, a week at most, so no worries! In the meantime, I'm working on another project—a Harry Potter and DxD crossover. If that sounds interesting, I'd love for you to check it out!

To clarify, A Stark Shard is still my main project, and I have no plans to drop it. But because the planning process can be pretty time-consuming, sometimes I like to write something different to unwind a little.

My other fic, Celestial Ascendancy, will update weekly, while A Stark Shard will keep its two-chapter-per-week schedule once I'm back to regular updates. So, for this week, I'll be focusing on Celestial Ascendancy while I plan ahead. Give it a read—you might enjoy it!
