This chapter got away from me, I wrote one POV and was like no, he doesn’t know enough, gotta try a different one, wrote the other POV, and was like well she doesn’t know everything either, fuck now I need to keep both of these, how do I decide, and my darling beta readers were like well clearly just use both, and well. fine. okay. i did. Is it clunky? well I don’t know anymore, I’ve now looked at it too much.

I did get to revise it while riding on a train, which for an American, is a fantastic novelty. So. I had a good time doing that, and I saw a kettle of literally 30 turkey vultures near Canajoharie, and did you know that turkey vultures were originally only native to the Southwest but then the interstate highway system and the carrion it produces allowed them to spread throughout North America? I know isn’t that weird? My sister told me that, she’s listening to The Heartbeat Of Wounded Knee on an audiobook. I’m digressing but listen life is hard kinda.

So this CHAPTER does not have vultures in it and is on AO3 here https://archiveofourown.org/works/31289303/chapters/84014020. What it DOES have, is self-harm by a person, and a risk of harm to an animal, but both of them are largely ok; it is the aftermath of a pretty severe panic attack / depersonalization episode, and it’s maybe a little rough but overall people are being nice about it, in the story, so. Kinda brace yourself but I don’t think it’s gonna be too bad. (Your picture was not posted)
