Thank you!! I think I will post an update once it is all behind me - I don't mean to be all mysterious, I merely embrace the "repression is your helpful ally" mentality in some ways. ;-)

This story has been a bear to write, so I am seriously so relieved it looks as though it will actually be completely finished at some point in the not-too-distant future. And yes, there are definitely going to be suggestions, I think - but I do also hope for reassurance that the story can indeed be brought to a generally readable state. ;-)
