OK so I pasted this chapter into the Make HTML For AO3 doc four days ago and then shit has been hectic and I forgot I did that. FORTUNATELY I did find a fairly major error during this morning’s re-proofreading, so I feel justified. And now of course I want to rewrite a chunk of it, but I am not letting myself do that.

This is the next bit of Peace-Tied https://archiveofourown.org/works/32023453/chapters/84588562, which I think only has one chapter remaining, and I’d been hoping the sequel would be ready but I just had a huge new idea for that so it’s got to get pulled apart and put back together but I have the buffer of that last chapter to figure it all out in still so we’re fine.

Anyway– there’s a warning on this one for animal harm, but it’s quite minor harm, and the animal’s confirmed to be okay afterward. Roche is a reformed jerk but he’s not entirely reformed yet and there’s got to be some verisimilitude. This chapter’s got some action, and next chapter’s got some…. action.

In a moment, Iorveth peeled away from the group of Scoia’tael, and the caravan re-formed. Breniriel rode over to where the dwarves waited, cueing her horse so the beast approached flashily sideways, tossing its head. Haltseidt made an admiring noise.

“Magnificent, isn’t she,” he said. “I’d take ten minutes alone with her.”

“She’d kill you,” Roche said, doing his level best to keep his expression neutral. That’s what got Ves that shiner.

“More exciting that way,” Haltseidt said, and then mercifully decided that was a good line to end the conversation, and kneed his horse over to the column of the wagons. Roche inwardly congratulated Ves on her restraint; with a couple of drinks in him, he himself would’ve knifed the fucker, no time for questions about international incidents.
