Be not afraid of greatness. Some are born great, some achieve greatness, and others have greatness thrust upon them. — Twelfth Night, William Shakespeare

I am having a real hard time with the concept of linear time, chums, this is would be a joke if i could consistently find it funny. is it really friday? IS it though?? I don’t know but I’m posting this chapter anyway.

THIS one is chapter 7, unlike the last one I said was chapter 7, which wasn’t chapter 7. And a reminder that if you read the fake chapter 7, which was really chapter 6, right away, I did have to go back and add 1500 words to it some hours after posting, so please do make sure you didn’t miss that. Listen I’m just keeping everyone on their toes, you have to work for this kind of entertainment.

SO

ACTUAL CHAPTER 7 on AO3 https://archiveofourown.org/works/31289303/chapters/80119690

we get a POV switch in this chapter, because I could not survive one more moment without giving a little preview into the mind of our boy Morvran.

Oh, here’s a footnote: I’ve been fleshing out a book-only character to serve as a semi-villain for this bit, and here’s the wiki on him. Peter Evertsen https://witcher.fandom.com/wiki/Peter_Evertsen. He’s a real dick, notable mostly for having instituted a brutal policy of total war for the purposes of extracting as much wealth as possible from the conquest of Lyria, Rivia, and Aedirn during the 2nd Nilfgaardian War. The sole other fact we know of him is that Morvran had him executed on a trumped-up charge shortly after becoming Emperor, despite Emhyr having been very fond of him. So I’m. Filling in.

Anyhow, here’s Morvran:

What harm, Morvran thought, what harm, really, could it do, and went down the hallway into the Princess’s apartments, and into the office where he knew Luliana worked.

The guards nodded to him as he entered, and he opened the office door and found the Sparrow sitting at her desk, head in her hands. He stepped in and closed the door behind him, and waited for her to look up, but she did not.

After a moment, he stepped closer, scuffing his foot against the floor audibly, and stood at parade rest, hands behind his back, waiting. In another beat, she looked up at him.

“I assumed you were here to kill me,” she explained, “so I was trying to hold still so you wouldn’t miss.”

He closed his eyes briefly, letting her see a brief half-smile on his face. “They don’t let me do that kind of work myself,” he said. Which was true; his hands were clean, genuinely. (Your picture was not posted)

The best type of fanon is “this is obviously a mistake on the part of the creator but we are going to continue to create in-universe explanations for it with a seriousness that approaches spite”
