so i wrote this and was like hm idk if this timeskip works i gotta think more on this structure but

uh now well the structure has become load-bearing so it just has to work

apologies it’s sort of a cliffhanger-then-timeskip but like, c’mon, it’s me, you know it’s gonna be mostly fine

so like chapter 6 of growing out is on AO3 https://archiveofourown.org/works/38098480/chapters/99008658 and Roche shows up, super helpfully, and of all things to get resolution to, I wrap up the stupid romance novel he got from Geralt in uhh whichever story that was. ah it was chapter 3 of Lion.

He’d brought the book with him, in order to force himself to read the whole thing and attempt to appreciate it in context, but it was irredeemably terrible, he finally had to admit to himself. The only thing that had been compelling in it had been the question of how the hero and antagonist could maintain such delicious tension while also fucking, and the extremely unsatisfying and boring answer was, they weren’t fucking, that was how. Nothing else was interesting; even their tense scenes were no longer interesting, with that context removed. (Your picture was not posted)
