Firstly, I'd like to apologise because this isn't an update.

I've been trying really hard since I started my new job in September to fit in writing this fic but it's safe to say I've not exactly done a great job of that (despite trying). The free time I have is extremely limited and obviously I like to do other things in that free time besides just write. Anyway, this has meant that I just don't have the length of time that I need to get sucked back into this AU universe I've created and continue writing. I'm the type of person that needs a little time to get into it again and with the long gaps that I have to have now between updates I'm finding that very difficult since this world in my head is quite complicated.

I very much want to finish this story (I really hate leaving things unfinished) but right now what I'm writing just isn't quite right, probably because I'm not 'in the zone', and I'd hate to update with chapters that I don't think are good enough to be there.

Anyway, after having thought about this for a while, that means that unfortunately I'm going to be putting this story on hiatus. I sincerely hope that I'll be picking it up again in the future because I have it all mapped out in my head in quite a lot of detail but for now I'm going to have to leave it for a while. I wish I didn't have to but I'd much rather do this than leave people waiting months for updates that I'm struggling to write and aren't up to scratch.

For now I will probably write things in the future but stuff like one-shots that are shorter and fit much more easily into my schedule (and don't feel as time pressured) so feel free to watch out for anything like that being posted.

Thanks for being so awesome with me along this journey and hopefully you can understand why I have to put this story on the shelf for now. As a fellow fanfic reader I understand that stuff like this is annoying and frustrating for readers but I genuinely wouldn't do this unless I had to so I hope you get that and find it in your lovely Quinntana-filled hearts to forgive me.

I'd like to thank you all for sticking around until now and maybe one day when I complete this you'll come back to it and finish reading the story.

If you have any questions or things you want to ask me, as ever, feel free to message me on here or on tumblr.
