Hello my dear and valued readers,

So I have been thinking and thinking and thinking since the last update; questioning the continuation of this story. Subconsciously, I suppose I knew that I would continue it and so I gave a title to the fic that was a little ambiguous. The 5x03 event just gave me the push in the right direction and so I gathered all my courage to enter this valued fandom.

The thing is, when I started writing this, the focus, the centre of attention was to bring them back together as sensibly as possible. And I think I have done it successfully; I hope so, at least. Now if I continue writing this, that essence will diminish with time, with increasing length, and certain events in the characters' lives. I would absolutely despise that. So, I have decided to end this here while the magic remains.

I will be continuing this in another story with the same title. This work here, I will consider as Volume-I/Act-I. And the next installment will be Act-II, the continuation.

Also, I cannot tell you how grateful I am for all the love you wonderful people have been showing for my work and for me as a writer. It really is inspiring to no end and I can't put it into words; the overwhelming feeling it gives me. Thank you so much and I hope I can deliver to the standards that you all expect from me now.

So, this is it.
