Your stories are your creations and you have complete right over what you want to do... it's just 'reading' isn't any fun when the story goes according to your (readers) will...
You didn't make 1k reads for nothing... I'm sure there are loyal readers who would still read it if you re-edit and re-post it. But if you don't want to do it than I have another suggestion.
You see, I obsess over my 'ships' a lot. And you probably remember I'm a loyal shipper of Teq-Don.. I couldn't have any idea how they were going to have their moment without your help. So would you maybe just write a short-story on them?
But hey, at the end of the day, it's still on you to call the shots. We'd support your decision.
