i haven’t discussed on here that i’ve been at my office job this week but i have been doing manual labor there, which just seems unfair. i’ve taken an off-white hallway and painted it white, which sounds really deadly dull and in fact is, and unrewarding, and it needs a third fucking coat of paint which is just incredible to me but. anyway. i’m emotionally and spiritually and physically done with painting, but alas, i am not actually done with painting. boo.

despite that i have managed to… well i wrote other things this week, entirely, but this chapter as it happens was actually already done and just waiting for extremely minor revisions so i can actually post it.

It’s Fit For Pearls’s turn, and we’re on chapter ten https://archiveofourown.org/works/31289303/chapters/82481344, and finally we get the scene with Morvran and Luliana that I came up with ages ago and have probably excerpted on here a zillion times because I’m so fond of it.

Bonus: also Geralt realizes that Yen is going to want an accounting from him of what he got up to while amnesiac after all.

A minor conundrum– I have some scenes written where Yennefer is in Vergen and I don’t know where to fit them in, they don’t fit here. Hmph! I have to think that over. It’s extra-confusing because the Vergen stuff is several weeks earlier and I haven’t reconciled the timelines.

Listen I’m having a hard summer, just like every summer I have, LOL. And the next couple of weeks will be, as usual, insane, but like, more so. And all the shit I’ve been writing lately hasn’t… been working out, so I don’t have next chapters lying in wait for any of my WIPS. So we’ll see, but barring a miracle I’ll be way off my schedule for at least the rest of the month. deep weary sigh I know I’ve been bad at answering comments too but please believe I read them voraciously, and if you’ve ever been on the fence about talking to me about things I write please feel free to come tell me things because I am having a hard time.

Anyway, this chapter we get a Geralt-and-Yennefer reunion-by-megascope.

By the time her eyes came back up to his face she had composed herself somewhat, and regarded him with a familiar sparkling archness that went right through to the middle of him. “Well, well,” she said, mouth curling in sly delight. “I am certainly going to make you a token to carry so that I know where you are in future, Geralt. I was very annoyed not to be able to ascertain your whereabouts, these last two months.”

“Sorry,” he said. “I didn’t think it would be alarming, after everything we just made it through all right.”

“Mm,” she said. “Secondly. I am finding out a lot of fantastic things from these friends of yours. I expect we’ll have to have a… detailed conversation about that.”

Ciri laughed and squeezed his arm. “Ciri,” he said, not taking his eyes off Yennefer, “I might need you to give me a moment alone with Yen here.”

“No, no,” Yennefer said, “It’s going to have to wait, dearest. I have too many things to tell you, and I can’t do them at a distance like this.” She looked at Ciri, and laughed. “Don’t look like that, child.”

Ciri had her face scrunched up with distaste. “I’ll have to arrange a reunion for you two at some point,” she said, “just so I don’t have to watch this.” (Your picture was not posted)

I'm really enjoying these stories!
As an IT project manager whose job it is to keep sequences of activities and timelines in order I'm intrigued by the challenge of keeping this straight while writing multiple stores :D
