#I mean originally 'Was Born To Lead' was supposed to be a drabble collection about Gabe's past

The funny thing is that I remember how much I struggled with the title for the fourth chapter of "Was Born To Lead" (A New Beginning) and was never quite satisfied with it, but now, I realize it does make sense, considering I actually began to write a completely new story with this chapter.

#Was Born To Lead #I make way too many posts about this fic now it deserves its own tag #I mean originally 'Was Born To Lead' was supposed to be a drabble collection about Gabe's past #but the fourth chapter implied there was supposed to be a continuation so I wrote it #and then I wrote an absolutely random Ángel chapter and delved into Valerio's past.... #I mean Valerio was supposed to be important in the orginal concept as well but having his own storyline.... no I didn't expect that #Honestly I'm still not quite sure if I went in the right direction developing my own characters and creating an ongoing storyline #basically having nothing to do with canon and maybe at some points not even looking realistic enough for Gabe's actual backstory #And I'm pretty sure my OCs are one of the reasons for many people not to read it because you know when you read fanfiction #you want to read about the characters you already know and love #And my OCs may be just not interesting enough for that #But I... like what I'm doing? #Honestly looking back I realize that I wouldn't be able to make it drabble collection because we freaking nothing know about Gabe's past #I highlighted all the main CANON aspects in those first three chapters so continuation of it would imply writing headcanon ideas either way #And I made Gabe the actual main character of his story being surrounded by his friends family and other characters #who have their own lives as well #He has his own adventures fitting his personality and attitude #I try to highlight different aspects of his character bringing up some small details like him loving Antonia Agama or being bad at riddles #and more major ones like his conflict with Roberto and his subtle leadership makings #I mean I understand reading about OCs may be a bit annoying especially if you don't like them but there's still enough Gabe #and of the points of this story was to make it multi-layered so if you don't like one thing you may like another #I don't I'm probably too narcissistic and biased towards this fic but I genuinely enjoy working on it #Maybe it would be interesting for more people if I made it as a drabble collection #But I'm glad how it turned out eventually #There's supposed to be 'I know I'm probably' I'm just too lazy to fix it
