baby, it's cold outside

very long a/n: sorry for the delay, guys! among other rl things, I've been completely distracted lately by the loveliness that is paperlegends (big bang for merlin fandom) and the number of stories getting posted now that september is here. (I would babble here about how great I think merlin/arthur is, but I would be going horribly off-topic.)

just so that everyone's clear though: sadly, I don't predict future chapters coming out at any faster a pace. ): part of the reason for this is, like I've mentioned in the chapter 1 a/n, the point of my posting up this story isn't so that I can finish up what I didn't manage to write last year - the logic was more along the lines "I have pieces of a story, I might as well post them up since they're no good sitting on my computer". unfortunately, I failed to remember that while I was writing this last year, instead of writing in a chronological order, I skipped over what I mentally labeled "connecting bits" and just wrote the more interesting stuff-happens scenes instead. so you can see why my plan to just dump everything I have so far isn't going to work out. instead, I'm actually trying to write in the majority of the necessary events between "big scenes" as I'm posting, and taking into account my travel plans/writing-speed lately, this usually ends up taking forever.

the point of this very-long a/n isn't to annoy you all, but rather, to let you guys know what's happening so that hopefully no one's surprised/disappointed when updates on this slow down even more. I'm still going to try my best to write what I can, of course, but just wanted to keep everyone updated. ♥ (thank you all for the lovely reviews, btw - they're the best encouragement I can ask for. <3)
