I've come to the conclusion that there's not really any reason to post fic separately on Livejournal anymore. I am going to continue posting fic, but they will be links to my AO3 account. In reality not much will change, just that the lj-cut will be a fake one from now on.

Hi everyone,

Just a quick note to let you know that I haven't died or something, and neither has The Third Who Always Walks Beside You. Both my beta and I have been ridiculously busy recently. The whole fic is written so eventually (and I hope soon), it's going to make its way here. But I'm really sorry for this improvised hiatus.
