*DON'T SKIP THIS*

For those of you who don't really care and are just here for an update, sorry to disappoint, but there isn't a new chapter. Here's the short version of what's going on: I'm not continuing this story, and this update just kind of explains why. There will be no more chapters/updates after this.

For those of you who somewhat care or are curious as of why I'm doing this, the details are below.

First, after I finished season 3 of Arrow, it felt like my story just didn't fit anymore. I started this story right after season 2 had ended, and it was a bit of a prediction story for what would happen after. Now, with everything that has already happened in season 3 and the 2.5 comics explaining the aftermath of season 2, this story just feels stuck in the past and oddly alternate universe.

Second, I just don't have the drive to write anymore. When I started out, I wrote this story to make myself happy; I didn't care what anyone thought. Then I got so caught up in trying to please other people and now I've realized that my writing has been turning into a chore. I really love the plot I had planned out, but with people constantly telling me to "update soon!", I felt pressured (I'm not blaming anyone who has sent this. It's not your fault, even I tell people to update quickly!).

Finally, I just want to thank every single person who has given my story a chance. Even though I don't have a huge following count like other writers, I'm still incredibly grateful. Writing fanfiction was like an adventure that I am so very glad I went on. For anyone out there that is an avid fanfiction reader, try writing a story yourself for a change. Trust me, you won't regret it. If you have anything that you want me to see, shoot me a PM and I'll check it out :)

I'm really sorry, for ending this at such a random spot. I didn't even give this story a proper wrap up, but in all honesty I'm sure it would've turned out terrible if I tried. Maybe one day I'll come back and finish this, or maybe I'll start a new story, but for now, my fanfiction writing days are over. If you want to send me hate, tell me anything, or ask questions, you can leave a review or PM me.
