Dear Readers,

I just wanted to let you know that this story has not been abandoned. As it happens, I'm almost finished with it; I simply haven't had much chance to work on the next two (or three) final chapters because I've been settling into school. Part X is about a third of the way written, and the epilogue is all sketched out. Maybe this weekend I'll actually have a chance to make some headway. Thank you for your patience.

Also, a note: I will most likely be moving to Archive of Our Own. My penname is still the same (MyLeatherCouch) and, for a while, there won't be any new stories because I'll be moving most of the ones from this account to AO3. But all new stories, if and when I write them, will be posted there.

One final note: I don't usually advertise my tumblog. But, if you feel like following, there is a link on my profile page. I've been known to post the occasional fan-song. (Such as "Dear John" and "Courting Bettina (aka Bonnibelle)") as well as instrumental fanworks (such as "If You Are Prepared" inspired by Cybele's work, and a piano dirge "The Empty Room in 221B")

That is all for now. Until the next chapter (and even after), I am faithfully yours,

My Leather Couch
