I'm so sorry to hear that you've been so swamped in RL and that people have been putting pressure on you here on top of that! We're probably all just so invested in this fic that sometimes people forget that there might be other priorities for the writers. I'm sorry! ♥

And while I'm of course sad to see you taking a break, I completely understand and wish you all the best for all those pesky RL things. :) Take care of yourself, and we'll be waiting here patiently for the next update. Thank you for the heads-up, and of course for all the effort you've already put into this marvellous piece of writing - the wait will definitely be worth it. *hugs*
