Hi I just wanted to say, I’m rereading all of invictus after not reading it since the most recent chapter and I just want to say I Can’t Believe how good this fic is and just how much I love it. Thank you So Much for this work and everything you have done, I absolutely Love the way you write the interactions between all the characters, in Especially always a fan of good kravitz and angus content like this, you’re incredible and thank you

Hello, thank you so much! It really delights me whenever I hear people enjoy the fic. It’s very dear to my heart. I’m so sorry about the hiatus. I never intended to pause for so long, but between some family health stuff (everyone is fine, don’t worry) and just general busyness, I haven’t had the brainpower to write lately. I’m dying to get back to working on this story and dearly hope it can be soon.

Hey guys, I’ve returned from the abyss to give everyone an update on Invictus. First off, I’m so, so sorry for the impromptu hiatus. Life just sort of happened: first with some health stuff, and then with some urgent work deadlines, and I reluctantly had to set writing aside for a time. BUT! I’m past those things now, and I’ve resumed actively working on the fic! To emphasize: I have in no way abandoned Invictus, and I’m eager to get back to regular updates. I’m not going to make promises quite yet about schedule or when to expect the chapter, since it’s a little hard to judge until I’ve gotten back into my rhythm. But I will say to expect something soon. To all of you who have waited patiently and have not lost interest, thank you. Much love.

Hey guys, a quick update on Invictus. I hate to do this after last week’s chapter was late, but I’ve made the executive decision to skip one more week in order to give you guys the best possible version of the story. I’m starting to get caught up, but I'm trying to build at least a little backlog before I post the next chapter. When I post immediately after completing a chapter, I feel like the end result is somewhat rushed because of the pressure of a more immediate deadline. I prefer to let each chapter sit so I can go back over it with fresh eyes before I finally post it. Thank you all for your patience, and I hope to be back on my regular posting schedule beginning next week.

Hey there again, everyone. I’m super sorry, but I’m making the call to push the next chapter of Invictus to next week. The chapter is coming along very well, but it’s turning out a good bit longer than originally anticipated, and I don’t want it to be rushed. Sorry again for the delay, but I will absolutely be returning to my usual Monday posting schedule next week.

Hey guys, quick update on Invictus. The new chapter is going to be slightly delayed. I’m hoping to finish it up tonight and post it tomorrow, but I will definitely let everyone know if that changes. Sorry for the wait!

Kravitz smirked. “Wizardry isn’t the only kind of magic, babe. What good are these long musician’s fingers if I can’t play you like an instrument?”

“Yeah, you’re a real virtuoso.”

“So do you concede my point?”

Point? Oh, that’s right, there had been a point Kravitz had been trying to prove, hadn’t there been? Taako’s brain was mush. “Listen, my man, at this point, I have no idea what your point even was. I’m lucky I remember my own name right now.”

So I procrastinated on my procrastination, and smut happened.
