Dear, I wasn’t ignoring you, and there is no need to pester me like this until I answer. Sometimes it can just take me a while to respond to comments on AO3. It took me a few weeks before I managed to answer comments last time. The answer to your question is yes, this fic is going to be Lapidot in the long run. The end game ships are Pearlmethyst, Rupphire, and Lapidot.
