Before you go any further, please take note that this is NOT another chapter. God, I hate doing this, but…for those who've been readers of mine long enough, you've already been through this. Well, sort of. But it's better than my previous attempt at a chapter story. The last one I just put on hiatus, where it will probably stay there until the end of time. I just have a really hard time continuing an idea when I have so many new ones floating around in my head, you know?

Anyways, I've come with the announcement that I am also discontinuing this story; because although I mentioned in the 1st chapter that I wanted to finish it, I broke my own promise and about 3 weeks later, I don't have any motivation to write it anymore. Blame my own short attention span and ability to get bored so very easily. I don't actually know how sorry I feel about this, because I sort of started this story of my own interest and I only WRITE out of my own interest. I'm not insulting other fanfiction writers here, but I have never written because I will get more reviews/favorites, or because my readers will like it. I write because I like it and the idea itself, and although I may feel a bit of guilt for not writing as often as I should be, it's due to me being too lazy to sharpen my writing ability. And writing is a rather important aspect of my life.

I digress. So there you have it. "Reconnect" will be discontinued. For those wondering what should've happened in these however many chapters of this story (few of you there are), here they are (NOTE: just because I have some of the scenes planned out in my head, that does NOT mean I have the ability to write it now. So please don't complain):

They would have worked out Skype (yes, yes, it's exciting, and unfortunately, that'll never be written out).

Lots of Skype video calls.

Skype sex.

Ritsu is forced to take things into *ahem* his own hands when he's aroused (because Takano isn't there so LEL, he has to masturbate and finger himself. Sounds vulgar, I know, but it's one of those scenes I was kind of excited to write if I didn't lose so much motivation).

Random texts from Takano about things he's seen in America

That one breakfast/dinner scene over Skype.

Watching a movie "together". Sort of. Also over Skype.

Literally an entire scene dedicated to Takano showing Ritsu a hot dog (because they're Japanese and have no idea what they are, so of course).

Random phone calls (before they get Skype, of course, because Skype is always better).

Relationship progress (FINALLY Ritsu stops being a stubborn little shit and they grow closer, etc, etc. (for reference to what their new relationship would be like, please read my other domestic Nostalgia fics—I have quite a few of them)).

Eh, I think that's all I mostly thought of when I first started to write this story. Honestly, I might even think of more after I publish this update, so…sorry? Also, I know that a lot of fanfiction writers will feel extremely guilty for not completing a story or for updating after months and months (or even a year), but…well, you know, this is a small fandom, and I have a small reader base. Maybe writing fanfiction just isn't such a big part of my life anymore, but I still like writing, when the muse to write strikes me. I have other one-shot ideas in the making, so I'll write those, but I'll also be editing this one story I wrote with a friend for an English project (don't ask), so that'll also take up a reasonable chunk of my time.

Thanks all for being so patient with me! And for those who've stuck with me this long, I am so grateful for you as well.
