I'm awful. I'm so sorry. I admit that I can't promise you anything because I can never be sure of whether I can trust myself to do it. Chapter 14 is in progress, that much I can say. I can say it's the longest chapter yet by far, and that it is still growing. I can say that I am very much enjoying writing it. I can say my beta is killing me to get it in.

I can't, however, tell you when it will be here. I just wanted to let you all know that I haven't given up on you or the story, and that there will be more to come. I plan to finish the chapter, upload it, and do some cosmetics on the earlier chapters, condensing and elaborating and correcting.

I can't promise when I'll get it, but I can promise that I will.

Thank you all, and bless you for sticking with this weak story by this weak author. I can't express how much it means that not a single person has unfollowed this whole time. You're all wonderful.
