Yes, I know, I'm absolute rubbish for leaving this so long. This really should have been finished some considerable time ago... but writer's block sucks, what can I tell you? Still, I hate leaving things unfinished (even if it was only one update to go) and finally the muse woke back up. Must have been the VMAs lol
