It already has been. Parliament voted and put the laws in place last year, for a deal or no deal. There are no laws in place for a second referendum nor remaining in the E.U......

Not accurate. The government can withdraw article 50 at any time, the ECJ ruled as such. No legislation needs to be passed for a revocation to take place. Furthermore, the government would not have to pass an act of parliament to do so. May has the power to withdraw article 50 without parliamentary support.

Obviously the political ramifications of revocation are different to the legal ones, but from a legal perspective, HM gov can choose to remain in the EU without referenda nor act of parliament.
 
I’m not really up on how parliament works etc, but because no deal is the default setting, and if we just decided to drop Brexit all together, then don’t we have to legally write it into British law?

We haven't left the EU so it hasn't been written into law that we have left, therefore Article 50, which is essentially just a notice of intent, can be withdrawn at any time up until we leave without legal ramification - pretty much all the top UK and EU lawyers agree on that.
