FINITO
Say hello to my most ambitious writing project to date.
Tempered Will [T/PG-13] - 40,000 words
How did an unruly teenage boy grow up into one of Wei's greatest commanders? A coming of age tale mixed with military drama - my researched take on Cao Ren's maturation from ordinary youth to leader of his own army.
Cross-posted to AO3 and fanfiction.net. I suggest reading at AO3 so you can see it all on one page and not be terribly bothered by my chaptering habits. Ah, the joys of slowpoke incremental writing.
Brought to you by the works of Rafe de Crespigny, many lunchtime chats with zeriel on the subject of peasant militias and military psychology, and all those awesome history enthusiasts who know classical Chinese and are kind enough to share Sanguozhi translations and various facts about Han era life. I'll probably revisit this for further edits in the future - or perhaps to flesh out Cao Chun's narrative some more - but for now, it's done enough to share.
