Dear readers,

Forgive me, as I know it isn't exactly "kosher" Fanfic behavior to post an author's note as a chapter. I've been reflecting on this story and how far I feel I've come over the more than ten years since I wrote it. It's incredibly flattering that I still get "favorites" on it and the occasional review, as well as story alerts.

It is due to this last that I'm posting this note now. I wish to formally recognize that there will never be a sequel or any kind of addendum to this story. I wouldn't want to stand as a lasting disappointment for anyone who expects that (a large number of people seem to, since they've put alerts on the story).

However, I am now writing a new story that will parallel this one in several ways… again, it is an AU starting after Harry's fifth year, in which Severus Snape is revealed to be Harry's father. However, there will be several interesting twists, and it plays with various elements of HBP and DH, which weren't published when Love and Honesty was written. It hopefully also features better writing, in my humble opinion! This story is titled Talon and Tail, and the first chapter is now up on my profile… I hope to see some of you over there!

All best,

Raven
