Right, so. I've been on unprompted hiatus for, shit, two years now. Personal life got in the way, and I was struggling to keep up with everything and unfortunately fandom got dropped.

I'm sorry, but I'm back now. I can't promise there won't be slips again, but everything is pretty smooth running at the moment, and should there be any problems you guys will be informed.

Now that that is out of the way, here's the deal;

I went back to re-read Might've Changed and I cringed.

When I checked my outlines, it wasn't as bad as all that. But the execution, hoooh boy. There's a lot of things I'm not happy with. The pacing, the characterization, my habit of switching POV mid sentence.

So, the plan;

I'm rebooting.

I still love these characters, I love writing them. I'm still pretty happy with the general outline I have for the story. But there's some things I want to change, mostly regarding characterization. I started the fic originally at the beginning of their 5th year. As such, the personalities got a bit muddied along the way, I chopped and changed things between chapters... I was all a bit messy. To remedy that, I'm going to start from the start. I've already got a sort of 'newsfeed' prologue that outlines important events in the boys early childhoods, and I want to do a chapter briefly detailing each year up to their 5th. This is more for my benefit, to let me get back into the headspace I had three years ago, but hopefully you guys'll enjoy it, too.

Now, the important bit;

I don't want to take it down while I edit, and lose all the wonderful comments and encouragement people left over the years.

Instead, I'm going to change the description to 'DOWN FOR EDITING', but leave the chapters up for now.

I'm taking the next few weeks to work on the new introductory chapters I want to put in, and then I'll start re-working the posted ones. I'll replace them one chapter at a time, starting probably from the beginning of April. There are 36 Chapters up, so it'll take a while to get back to where I was, but I'm working to get as much done this month as I can to put me ahead. I'll let you know if this changes.

Updates on how this is going, details of changes to the schedule and possibly sneak peaks, depending on interest, will be posted to this Tumblr account. (The link is on my profile, as is one to my askbox.) I'll try to keep updated on schedule changes, too.

Any questions or comments are probably best directed to my Tumblr, too. You can message me on here, but it'll probably take longer for me to answer.

Thank you so very, very much for your continued support and interest in this fic! It really means the world to me. Thank you.
