THESE ARE IMPORTANT TO THE READERS OF THIS STORY. PLEASE READ! SEVERAL THINGS WILL MAKE A LOT MORE SENSE IF YOU DO!

First off, I would like to apologize for the massive and unannounced hiatus I took from this story. It was never my intention to leave it for so long. Long story short, I had really bad writers block, then final exams for my last year of high school, and then I spent my entire summer working at a camp for people with special needs. I had a boyfriend, and then I didn't, all my friends moved really far away to go to university, my depression got a lot worse, I was diagnosed with a bipolar spectrum disorder, I had to catch up on Doctor Who in time for the 50th anniversary, I couldn't find my notebook, my mother got married (again…), and here we are!

Now I'd like to talk a bit about the story and the future that I see for the universe that it's set in and what I might like to do with the characters.

So, there are only three chapters left in this story as of now, I think. One filler, one detailing their escape and one set at the airport after all is said and done, with family reunions and whatnot. There are some other things, detailed below, that I would like to write involving this storyline if anyone is interested. Review or PM me if you are. I won't write them if nobody speaks up and says that they want to read them, because I don't want to post things that nobody is interested in.

Other Stories in this Universe:

Interlude: Set in the time between their escape and the final chapter of Never Leave You which is set in an airport as Kaoru and Julie return home to their families. Details their misadventures in the jungle of South America as they struggle to find civilisation and make their way home. No title at the moment; suggestions welcome and much appreciated.

Sequel: "With You Forever" (working title, suggestions welcome): They may be out, but the scars still remain. Set about three months after the end of Never Leave You, this details the recovery process of Kaoru and Julie. Featuring the rest of the Host Club, Joshua and several of Julie's military "friends", this story will explore the aftermath of their trauma, their continually deepening relationship and more into Julie's past and military career. May also feature more drama, since there are more characters to interact with.

Side Story: Will be posted on Fictionpress, since it features only my original characters. Detailing the Thomas storyline that Julie mentions briefly in the last chapter I posted. What really happened then? Who was Thomas and who wanted to kill him? No title at the moment; suggestions are welcome and much appreciated

So, there you have it. Please review, and tell me what you think of my plans for this universe. The nest chapter proper should be posted within an hour or so, I just have to finish typing it.
