Hey everyone. I'm not gonna give a timescale here because it's clearly not a good idea for me to continue doing so. I still plan on finishing this story, it's just been a bit of a struggle writing the next chapter and having it live up to the standards I believe I've set so far. My health has been in serious decline, I've almost died a few times now which is pretty scary I'm not gonna lie and that's been a big factor in my slow progress. I really don't mean to leave you guys hanging, and I promise that I'm not going to do that forever, it's just been a rough go of things lately. Current circumstances in my personal life are making it a bit painful to write love, but hopefully I can channel that into some real melancholy stuff because things are about to get real sad before they get happy again I won't lie.

It's kind of a bummer that the delay has resulted in this becoming an AU of sorts without recent events in the story taken into mind, but I had a good plan for what to do when we were all ignorant of the major shakeup that was coming our way and I still intend to do that. Guess that officially makes this an AU now, should probably just add that tag but idk that also doesn't seem right because people see that tag and assume it's about to be a story set in a High School or something lol

Anyways, I'm ranting at this point. Just rest safe with the reassurance that I haven't forgotten about this story, and all of you that have enjoyed it, and that I'm going to give you all a conclusion one day.

And if I fail to live up to that promise for some reason, God(s) forbid it, I'll at the very least post an update that includes my current story outline so that you all can know what I had in mind. But that's like Defcon 1 worst case scenario, so don't plan on that being the outcome cause I'm not.
