TPWs is, for the time being, not being continued. However- I do not like abandoning stories so I do plan to return to it, but I need to figure out how to write it without stirring things for me.

As some of you may know, TPWs is overall about addiction. Tonks has been through a traumatic experience, healed from it thanks to magic(though, I feel I've rushed it and I actually wouldn't mind going back and rewriting it to make longer/more of a struggle or potentially changing it completely, but that's aside the point) and the currently-happening-plotline is about to head into the main part of the story: her addiction as she tries to cope with what happened. And as some of you may also know, I was an addict when I was younger. So, while I feel pretty comfortable writing about addiction using my own experience with it, I found writing it stirred a lot for me as it made me revisit some of the darkest years of my life. (which was, surprisingly, not an issue with the BA series... which also called on my experience with assault to write... but the addiction came later and because of that, so maybe that's why it's stirring more lol)

I also worry about two major things(among a dozen small):

That people may feel Tonks acts out of character as it progresses. However, this is the reality of addiction- people change because of it. They're not themselves.

I worry people have felt the story too rushed as it is. And it was. I rushed through certain bits that originally were meant to be more stretched out(but then I worried people might feel they dragged).

So, at the moment, TPWs remains on hiatus.
