hello everyone!

I am blown away by the response I have had to this fic! as my first multi-chapter story, I never expected such an overwhelmingly positive reaction and consistent following! I am so grateful to everyone who has read this story, especially those of you who have left comments and feedback!

I just want to make it clear: I am not and will not abandon this story.

I apologise for the hiatus, life has been pretty tough the last few months. The UK has been in and out of lockdown, and my university has failed to offer both the academic and emotional support I have needed to get through such a turbulent time. Therefore, with the weight of the global situation, family crisis and pressures to get my degree completed with little assistance, this fic has had to take a backseat in my priorities. I have really enjoyed writing this and actually find working on this fic as a helpful escape, but have not had the time to indulge in that -which goes to show just how stressful things have been for me! This pandemic has affected everyone in so many ways, so I am sure you can understand!

But with the upcoming new season starting this week (EEEEEEE!), I have found some motive to get restarted. I am sure with new content I will be inspired all over again. However, I just need a little push.

So, if you have the time and care to, please comment with some of the following, just to help me out:

- what have you enjoyed about your story?

- what do you think about my writing style?

- how can I improve it?

- what would you like to see from this fic going forward?

Many, many thanks to all of you who have made it this far, reached out and stuck by me! I appreciate it beyond words! I am excited for the futute of this show and fic once I get going again!

Lots of love! x
