  Sorry! You know the drill. I took a break from this story for a while to reassess some stuff - while I was intending on coming back to finish the serialization side of it, I didn't get around to that in time, so rather than post it and then immediately yank it back down, I decided that simply bowing out here was the best option. Thank you, those of you who were interested in the story!
