A/N: Now seems as good a time as any to let you all know where this fic stands, as far as updates go.
To my two guest reviewers: thank you very much! :)
First things first, to alleviate any of your fears: I have not abandoned this story. I simply haven't had as much enthusiasm to write more than a few short pieces in the last few months; most of the rest of my time is taken up by RL issues, and by Tumblr.
As for the story itself, there is a relatively short (2,700-word) draft of Chapter 12 sitting here, waiting to be completed. I really just need to buckle down and finish it, but I still don't know where the story is going from here, long-term. Short-term, I had a couple of ideas in mind, but they're all very sketchy at the moment.
So, rest assured that the conclusion of this Part of the story will be finished and posted no later than the end of this year (hopefully sooner!). In the meantime, you can check out the short stories I've been working on, Frozen Moments and Frozen Variations.
Don't leave a review on this chapter, as it will be replaced by the forthcoming Chapter 12. If you have suggestions or concerns, or just want to chat, you can send me a PM; you can also come bug me on Tumblr (insectoid5); I do enjoy chatting with people about fic ideas there.
Stay tuned to this bug-channel for updates. ;)
