#unspooled thread

Hey guys! It's been a minute since we updated and since we last had news.

And ABSOLUTELY NOT THE STORY ISNT ABANDONED!!!

Life is just life-ing and we're trying to write and edit in between the punches.

We're so close! Two chapters and an epilogue left!! Hang in there! Give the story a reread, read it with a friend or a gang of friends! We are always so moved and giggly when we get comments and see traffic, it helps push us forward and know the story is worth finishing!

Everything is coming together for our Ben and Nel and even Colin and Eloise and everyone else too will get their happy ending! Rest assured, everyone!

Stick with us, we're nearly there and it's gonna be worth the wait!

Love,

Itakethewords and @writingwhilecaffeinated

@velvetcovered-brick​ and I have a treat for you.

Hey everyone! We know you guys are the best at understanding real life and waiting patiently for new updates, so when we say we appreciate that consideration, it's truly meant!

The next update is in the wings but life is indeed a little bitch.

On my end, I had one grandparent go into the hospital and come out but still not doing well. Then the other day, the other fell and had to go to the hospital and turns out there's a whole other problem and now he has to have surgery today. The part that makes this all very tricky is he has dementia, very very far in and at a sundowning stage, so the last few days and post surgery will be a real test. He doesn't register that he's actually in pain or that something is wrong so he can't tell anyone and that means we have to place a lot of faith in the staff at the hospital and in after care to pay attention to his needs.

On top of fanfic hobbies, I do work full time and I live in care for my grandparents so I'm kept busy. (Yes I posted a Kpop Demon Hunters one-shot but it was 2am and I couldn't sleep.) I'm doing what I can for edits, though. With him in the hospital (totally manifesting full uncomplicated recovery) and then in rehabilitation after, I will have a smidge of free time because my grandma doesn't require half the care he does.

I can't speak fully for @writingwhilecaffeinated but I know she has a lot of change in her life too and has been doing some writing into future chapters while we wait on me for edits.

We appreciate all readers of the story and your continued support and understanding. Never ever think the story is abandoned, life is just boxing us with brass knuckles right now!

In the meantime, consider taking a leisurely re-read through the story. Refresh your memory of details, as many things were planted months ago and we are tying up many loose ends this final season!
