I feel like every time I see you on my dash, the ears just keep getting bigger and bigger.
Pretty soon Lae'zel will be able to fly Dumbo style no problem.
I love it <3 <3 <3
i fear we may have reached that point already...
Chapter 4!! Time for Wyll to learn quite how far Turmeric's extended breakdown has taken her! Yay!
And also a lot of surname talk. Does Jaheria have a surname? It feels like she should but I couldn't find one, so. So, that's the end of the sentence. I don't know why I put so there like I'd have something to add.
And we’re off! Next story is up on AO3, and updates should come at least once every ten days as with previous (I just realised I’m working off a tenday-based schedule, this was not intentional), and I will try to post here in case of a delay.
fucked up hurt/comfort. the person who stabbed you tends to your wound. the person who killed your loved one helps you grieve.
your unreliable narrator fucking bit me
Chapter 16!!!! - The Bloodbath
Here I go getting into a writing frenzy for the exciting climatic boss fight chapter - and AO3 starts lagging just as I go to post it!
Teaches me for thinking I could get a chapter out so early and have everything go smoothly, I suppose. Ah well, I hope everyone enjoys it at least - when they get the chance to read it, that is!

Okay, there's going to be another delay for the next chapter. The problem with having a plan is I keep seeing the nice short summery paragraph I've written in advance, and I'm like, "oh that's nothing, that won't take any time at all." and then guess what. That paragraph had no detail in it on purpose. The detail takes time to write.
Also, I've been trying to get to bed at a reasonable time each night to maintain healthy sleeping habits, when I used to stay up late and let myself go feral over a word document, so that's slowing me down as well.
Ultimately, I'm giving myself time limits to ensure that it is finished eventually, because I want to prove to myself that I can finish something if I try - I just need to rework my writing habits into something more sustainable and stop expecting myself to be able to write so much in one day like I used to.
So, to get the point, I'm giving myself another 5 day extension on this one (aiming for the 14th) so I actually have time to finish it up properly. I'm considering maybe extending all the gaps between chapters to 15 days in future, but I'll leave it at 10 for now and we'll see how I do.
As always, thanks to anyone who just reads my stuff at all, with a bonus thanks to anyone who leaves kudos, or especially comments. Every time someone reaches back from across the void it makes it a lot easier to remember why I'm still doing this, why I shouldn't just give up, even when I frustrate myself with delays and procrastination (and do feel free to send me asks about anything to do with the story and characters, I love that shit).
I'm going to continue trying my best, but I'm going to try being a little gentler to myself along the way from now on - and I might wander away from More Graves and into something a little different a few times, as I try to re-embrace the fun that can come from being creative, and remind myself of the excitement of inspiration that helped me come up with this story in the first place.
This is what info dumping oc lore feels like
I write BG3 fanfic about having a bad time and learning to carry on anyway! It's good fun! And also devastating!
