Oh, wow, thanks so much! This AU is near and dear to my heart, but it's also a stone bitch to write, for all the reasons you mentioned--- between keeping track of Vayne's Plans B-H and his contingencies for all the sequelae thereof, and just the sheer heartbreak of watching these people circle each other with all their defenses up, it's one of those that I can only write so much of at a time. HOWEVER. Getting this encouragement to keep working with it was just the push I needed to get back to working on it! And also you paid me the compliment of subscribing to me and granting access! (Returned the favor, BTW.) In short, yay, I have an audience for this thing, that inspires me to make more of it!
