Hey everyone! I know this is probably not the update you want to see, but I just wanted to say that Benefits is going to be having some large renovations. When I was writing this I was focusing too much on hitting a word count instead of focusing on what mattered.
After thinking about things for a while, I've decided that I'm basically going to be starting this fic over. Not completely, but there are things I want to switch around.
Anyway! I will probably be deleting some chapters, chapters we've already read will show up later in the fic, and new chapters will be added!
I just wanted to let you all know about this now! I'll be starting edits super soon, so I'll probably be doing a lot of chapter splitting and adding the things I originally wanted to. I just feel like a lot of the chapters would work better if they were shifted and slit and hindsight is a bitch lmao. I will be stating at the beginning of chapters whether the scene is new or not, but I'm about half-way through chapter 6 and I realized I'm not happy with the things I cut and it just wasn't working for me. The setting is going to change a little, with it taking place during the college semester instead of summer, so please note that!
I really wouldn't feel right if I finished this fic and wasn't happy with it, and it's not really fair for you readers to be given something I half-assed, because that would show in the writing. I have a lot of things that will be added, so stay tuned for that! There'll be a tad less smut (or, at least it'll be spread out slightly more), but i feel like it'll work better as an actual fic instead of just a smut dump...
Anyway, please be patient with me for a while! I'll be able to get chapters out much faster with them being shorter, and I'm hoping to post a new chapter next Saturday!
(note, this AN will be deleted before I begin posting chapters again)
