Hello All,
Despite the best efforts of life and work, this story has survived being abandoned. I am currently editing the work to improve the writing, but this should not take too long. If you are a returning reader- I am very sorry for the wait! I would strongly recommend following so that you will get a new alert for the next new chapter, which will probably be in about a month. I do not recommend rereading these chapters yet since when the new chapter is released these old chapters will automatically be updated with improvements and detail changes- after which a rereading is almost necessary anyway.
If you are a new reader interested in the work, you may read on with these 10 chapters since it's not like it's absolute plotless garbage. However, the same applies as above- all of these chapters will be replaced (improved!) within the next month anyway- with a few things changing- so if you want to follow and wait for the alert of the new chapter that's fine and also perhaps best.
To follow the release of the edited story as I go through chapter by chapter, find the story under my penname at AO3. I will not prioritise either site over the other when I get to the next new chapter, but the reason why for now I am not changing all the chapters on this site yet is because I have old readers who I do not want to alert just for a chapter edit and with no real new content to show for it.
I hope you will forgive me for my delays. Please continue to PM me if you want to discuss any questions over this story, if you are an old friend, or if you want to offer any criticisms!
Best wishes!
