Greetings, everyone. As you can see, this isn't a new chapter. It's an unfortunate but necessary announcement: I need to take a leave of absence from Fanfiction.

I don't want to go into too much detail, but my mental state has not been great lately. My two jobs, the knowledge that I'm going to be stuck where I am for a long time despite all I'm doing, and the stress of having to post chapters every week have melded together until it's like a constant weight on my chest, making me panicky and exhausted at the same time. I need a break in order to pull myself together and figure things out concerning how I'm going to proceed with my writing and my life in general.

Also, my backlog is dry, and I'm scrambling to post updates at the moment. I know that this will cause the quality to suffer, and that's the last thing I want. I have dedicated over a year to "Shattered Moon," and I refuse to give you guys a rushed, crappy ending! The big moment of the entire story is coming, and I'm going to make sure it'll blow your freaking minds! And I'm not just talking about that spicy scene I've been hinting at!

This isn't me quitting! I'm not leaving permanently, nor is this fic going to be discontinued. However, it may be a while before you hear from me again. I hope to be active again by February, but I won't promise anything at the moment. What I will promise is that you will get consistent, quality content once I do come back.

I will be posting "Five Summers" every other Thursday as scheduled, since my patrons have already seen the whole thing and it's long past due that you guys see the rest of it.

Please don't post reviews asking when I'll be back or complaining about the hiatus. And don't send messages of that nature. I'll be back when I'm ready, and these fics will be right with me. Please be patient. Remember, I'm NOT discontinuing this.

Until I write for you again, peace out.
