I've gotten a lot better about remembering to reply to reviews, but the odd one still slips through the cracks. I'm so grateful for every comment and I love you for leaving them and I promise I'm not intentionally ignoring you aaaaa


Update 11/26/18: For various and sundry reasons I’d rather not go into, I’ve made the difficult decision to pull Old Haunts from FFN and keep it on AO3 only. Again, my username there is wheel_of_fish.

I’ve saved all of the wonderful reviews that were previously left on the fic. Thank you so much for the support, and I’m sorry for any inconvenience.


Update 9/4/18: Due to a combination of circumstances, the Ivory Tower is on indefinite hiatus, for which I apologize. I do still hope to finish it at some point.
