After once again giving this a lot of thought, I have decided to end this thread. I have made a number of major blunders when writing this story, and after much evaluation, I realise that I have written myself into a corner. As such, I officially declare this thread dead. There may be one more chapter post for stuff that I already had drafted, but no more chapters after that will be posted on this thread. However, the idea behind the fic remains, at least in my mind, a good one. As such, I have created a reworked version of the story and posted that as a different thread. For those that liked the original premise of this story, they can check it out the rewrite on my profile.
