i know it’s been ages since i posted a thing but i promise i’m almost there.

I’m also having thoughts about the structure. For tidiness’ sake, I’d figured I’d put Ciri Gets A Girlfriend all into one story, then I’d do What Geralt’s Been Up To in another story, and then I’d catch Eskel up in a third story, and then I’d weave those together somewhere, somehow.

But it turns out that there’s a section of a chapter of What Geralt’s Been Up To that absolutely has to be read before chapter 5 of Ciri’s Girlfriend, but then the second half of that Geralt chapter needs to come much later. And then how am I to make it plain where everything is happening? It’s already kind of interspersed with the Keira story events, so it’s kind of…. confusing…..

so I’m poking that now, but. Probably I will have a chapter of Ciri Gets A Girlfriend finally ready to post by the end of the week, and then I’ll figure the rest out as I go. Probably… there will have to be interspersement of some…. and where I put the boundary of the stories will be, hm. A thing.

(I blew through Baptism of Fire in three hours today while multitasking and was like “… that’s it?” but it’s actually a standard-length book I just write really long shit and it’s utterly warped my understanding of how a standard work of fiction is supposed to work. Whoops.)

I was going to post an excerpt but the thing is going to be done so soon I might as well wait. Just know, I’m almost there. I promise.

this was supposed to be a 5k-word oneshot for femslash february (Your picture was not posted)
