The long-overdue apology is here! As of now, I am marking this story as discontinued – but I guess you already figured I wasn't going to update after, say, 3 months of no updates. Anyway, even though the story is discontinued now, I am hoping to re-upload the story possibly during the summer – I have a few more chapters written down but not typed up that I'll be able to add by then.
A big "I'm so sorry" to anyone who put me on alerts/favorites or reviewed me – I hate disappointing people and I never wanted to let you down!
Again, sorry, sorry, sorry, and sorry! I give all of you full permission to sic any fairies or dragons or magical creatures on me so that they may rip me apart, limb from limb, until there is nothing left of me but a rotting heap of disappointing dust.
