Hey, everyone. You'll notice there's no chapter here. Long story short, I don't like my characterizations of Gabriel or half of the rest of the cast. I don't like what happens with Gabriel. I like where the story is going, but I don't like how we'll get there, so I'm discontinuing this fic.
The general plot (author overcoming writer's block with the help of a new love) is still one I'm interested in, though. Keep your eyes peeled for a new fanfiction with the name "Finishing Touches" in a few months, a redux and reworking of this story.
I'll keep this update and story up for one week before I delete it. Thanks for reading so far! (And I reserve the right to change my mind later.)
