Hello, readers! Greetings from Ski October and I! We know it's been almost two years since we've updated, and we're very sorry about that. For a while we were having problems coordinating our efforts, then we were busy, then we wanted to wait for all the Infernal Devices books were out before figuring anything out, and now that we've been devoured (and adored) Clockwork Princess, we've decided we're going to reboot this story. We have some new ideas, more consistent, well-rounded character developments, and more backstory.

We're working on that right now, and we should be able to get the first chapter up within the next two weeks. In fact, I'll guarantee that. When we've finished that first chapter, it will be posted as a new story, also entitled "As Lightning Struck the Sea", and this story will be deleted. If there's anything you particularly loved about this story, some details or bits of dialogue (plot will remain the same, roughly) that you really want to stay, please, let us know, and we'll work it into the new story to the absolute best of our ability. We want to thank you all for reading and enjoying the story, and we hope to see you again soon with the new story.

(Also, sorry if this gave you false hope for a new chapter. Very very sorry. I hate when that happens.)
