Happy Wednesday!

I'm taking search offline sometime today to upgrade the server to a new instance type. It should be down for a day or so -- sorry for the inconvenience. If you're curious, the existing search machine is over 10 years old and was starting to accumulate a decade of cruft...!

Also, apparently these older machines cost more than twice what the newer ones cost, on top of being slower. Trying to save a bit of maintenance and cost, and hopefully a Wednesday is okay!

Edited: The other cool thing is that this also means that the search index will be effectively realtime afterwards... no more waiting a few minutes for the indexer to catch new content.

My apologies for the lateness of the chapter, but it comes with some news. First, I will no longer be announcing chapter posting dates. My life has become far too chaotic recently for me to accurately project when I'll have chapters done, and the disorder is likely to continue for quite some time. That said, I will continue to aim to post chapters weekly, and they will be posted on Sundays, if that is any help. Secondly, I need to restate: I WILL finish this fic. I'm very much hoping to have it done this year, but given how weird my life got, that may not be possible; still, it's my hopeful goal. Thank you all so much for reading and commenting! I treasure every one of you so, so much.
