Chapter Text
Hello everyone.
I apologize, but this is not an update. To put it simply, last night my father unexpectedly passed away due to bizarre circumstances that may imply foul play involved. This is still obviously a shock for all of the family. I will be trying to take care of my grandmother, who has been hit the hardest through this, and I will be spending most of my time dealing with the fall out.
This post was, essentially, to let everyone know that I will be obviously taking a large hiatus from this story and that I haven't dropped it, but rather need a break. I initially thought to keep updating, use writing as an escape, but my heart is not in it at all for obvious reasons. I initially wasn't going to send this out, but thought that, considering my rollercoaster of emotions these past few weeks, and how you guys have rode it out, you all deserved to know.
I just wanted to thank all of you for the genuinely kind words and support, and wanted to let you all know that, I will be back. On the off chance that I manage to write, I plan update whenever I can, edit the current pieces I have as well, but the likelihood is I will be aware for quite a while, at least months. This story has been one that I have genuinely felt a full range of emotions to write, but do not think I will be able to continue at this time.
while several chapters are half finished, I don't feel like half-assing it will make me feel better either, nor the readers. So I'm hoping to return sometime next spring (March? April?) to this, but for now I think my whole family, and I need time to grieve.
because of the situation, if people want to know what happens, I can be reached on ffn under the same name, but otherwise, I hope to see y'all at a later date. Hope you don't forget me, or Naomi's journey.
Thank you all once again, and thank you for reading this far. It has genuinely been an amazing journey for me, and I think my writing has greatly improved because of it.
See you on the other side
