Hi this isn't what you're hoping for. I've been wanting to make an update chapter for you so that you could be caught up with why I'm taking so long. I answered a comment about this today (timestamp 11/28/2018) and wanted to make sure everyone could see the answer and with possibly better details?

I don't know honestly.

I was losing motivation for this fic for a while. To be honest with you all, it was with the second chapter (after Damien gets saved by Dick in his bedroom from a League member, if anyone came in and doesn't know what a mess the organization was). This story, with its terrible but fitting name, was never meant to be more than a oneshot. I was so happy even just one of you liked it that I had no issues going on with it. I love how far this has gone and can't regret any of this, but I'm trying to be honest here.

I may be a tad dramatic there, however…

I don't write well. Well, perhaps the method is the faultier of the writing? I only write when I am motivated and/or a good plot bunny bothering me. It's evident in how all my chapters bounce around and can get confusing. Luckily, I have you guys to help clean up my work and make the timeline linear as best you can with such a bouncy line in general.

But this leads to what's happened. My passion for all my stories seems to have, not died per say, more lost fuel than anything. I got super stressed out and nothing has truly calmed down enough for me to really sit down and think. College forced me out and now I'm jobhunting. My family has health issues that I help mitigate, like my mom's surgery needing her to have help sometimes.

There's just been a lot of things bringing me down. My mental health has been…a rollercoaster and I haven't been thinking about anything other than the constant stress I'm in.

But back to the crux of this…letter of apology to all of you.

I don't want to keep you guys in suspense like this because it's unfair. I'm in the same boat as you with other fics, so I know how it feels to never have closure for something you enjoy. I will say I hope to finish this arc I've started and perhaps go back and improve what I despise about the past chapters as well. I'm not sure if I will. I don't know if I'll ever add new arcs and chapters. I might just delete the whole thing and start over with like…a series? I don't know and I don't want to get your hopes up with unintentional lies.

Thank you for being so patient with me and not screaming at me to update. Thank you for understanding and dealing with my sporadic schedules and angst. It means a ton that everyone enjoys my work enough that you want more.

With a heavy and hopeful heart-Toast
