Hello, readers. First of all, allow me to apologize for, once again, not finishing the next chapter and posting it when I said I would. Nobody is at fault here but me, and I apologize if my tardiness disappointed and/or frustrated you, etc.

But I am also posting this to inform you that I will be taking a leave of absence from both this story and Convergence for an indefinite amount of time. At the start of this year, I looked over the goals I wanted to accomplish before 2020, and among them was finishing one of my stories. Realistically, I will not be able to finish this story nor the other before my set deadline, so I will instead be devoting my time to completing my new Voltron fic "Kindred" over on AO3, which will be a lot shorter and easier to manage that these two.

Once again, I am so sorry to keep you all waiting and failing to hold things up on my end. From now on, I won't be making you guys promises that I'm not sure I will be able to keep; when I pick up these stories again, I'll just finish them when I can.

Thank you all for your comments, critiques, honesty, and support. Take care now, and have a great year.

'Till next time.
