***Nursie Note***- Hey there fellow Portkeyers!!! It's been so long... I'll bet you thought I forgot about this fic or abandoned it or something. Truth is, I have always had intentions of finishing it and had originally thought it would be done way before now. However, as you can understand, things have not gone at all the way I planned them and unfortunately, I have not gotten anything posted past Part 13. I want to apologize for this because everyone has been very kind and your reviews have touched my heart in a way you could not imagine. It has been your wonderful reviews and words of encouragement that have made it possible for me to continue writing. I have promised to finish this fic, and I am determined to do so. I have started to work on it once again and hope to have something posted soon. I finished Part 14 which will be called "Need" and once it gets looked over for errors, I will update.
I have asked all of you interested in the story to bear with me when it comes to updates and future chapters. You have all been so very kind and welcoming. I simply can not find the words to tell you all how much I appreciate your comments, emails, reviews, well wishes and friendship. Us H/Hr shippers have got to stick together. I am simply floored to be a part of such a wonderful group of people. This site and my fellow Portkeyers have saved my sanity these past six months, and although I haven't been very vocal or active during that period of time, I have still been around reading your stories, essays and comments at the messege boards.
Part 14 'Need' should be posted soon... whether a few hours or days, I do hope you will enjoy the continuation of this fic as much as I've enjoyed writing it. I have up to thirty chapters outlined, this includes interludes which should take the story up til the beginning of the finale. As you can see, I am not even half way through the story. I do hope you'll continue reading now that I have finally gotten through some very difficult times in real life and I am finally able to continue doing something I love to do. Thanks again to all... you guys are what makes this place such a warm and friendly place to visit.
Hugs
Nursie
