My Taoris Fic. Advice Please?

I am conflicted. And I need help from you, the readers. 

I had thought it would be hard to write a Taoris fic with all that is happening right now in Exo, and a part of me is really adamant I should take a break from the pairing. They are one of my main OTPs, and hold a soft spot as my first fanfiction pairing I wrote for Kpop, but it felt...off writing a fic for them, if that makes sense? Part of that problem was that the story idea I had was dealing with the comeback, and therefore wasn't exactly AU. It felt too real, or too something that made me pause and back away for a little while. 

But now, there is a new idea, one I am very excited about. As I have mentioned already, any story I write for them would be separate from the lawsuit based on my personal hang ups with using that as a source of inspiration, and the one I have is yet another AU...and a part of me doesn't want to let this pairing go. Or this idea, for that matter, because as hard as I try to find a new pairing for it, it is only meant for them in my head. 

Even if Kris is not in Exo anymore, he was, and will always be a member in my mind. Regardless of what happens, I will support both Kris and Exo in their future careers. Kris's health, and the other members' health for that matter, are more important than fame. And if Kris has I leave because his health is suffering, than that's all there is to it. And I will say this right now, if another member is introduced, I will love them just like I love all of the boys. They have no part in this, and I will not hold them responsible for Kris not being there when he left on his own terms. I watched as the Super Junior members went through pain and hate from joining a group after original members left, and I will not put someone else through that, because fans do not hate new members.  

But that has nothing to do with the story. Forgive me. I digress. 

All of this is a very roundabout way to say I have an idea buring in my brain, and I want to use it with a Taoris pairing, but will people still read Taoris? Regardless of whether or not Kris is in the group, do people still want this? 

If you could comment and give me insight, I'd appreciate it. I'm still on the fence and truly need your input as a reader and Exo/Taoris fan. 

Thanks yall,

Meg

Please write. I'm really really sad about what's happening with Kris and EXO right now... and then my main OTP is TaoRis... and Tao is my UB, followed by Kris... and if you, one of my favorite authors, cease to write TaoRis. I'll die. if there's no TaoRis, what is love? what is liiiiiiiiiiiife?

But seriously, please write.
