This has to be the most accurately named case of writer's block ever.
I'm literally stuck, somehow. I'm quite confident that, if I could just unstick, the rest of the story would flow just fine. I suppose I could skip the scene I'm stuck on and come back to it, but the characters need to make some decisions in the scene that will affect what comes after. Oh, the problems that come with having one of your heroes working for an evil government. (Not that the other government really qualifies as good...)
All right, maybe part of the problem is that after this story, I'll be departing the rails and I'm not sure what my tiny, tiny audience will think of that. Not only is the next story potentially darker, but it stops being "canon compliant" or whatever the right fanfic term is. It's the result of my suspension of disbelief issues with what the game allows people to get away with, a logical progression from what occurs in the first two stories I've written/am writing, and was one of my original story ideas. And yet, it periodically hangs over my head like a head hangy over thing and gets in my way.
I believe the proper complaint is something like "dratted plot bunny!" Though, in this case, I'm rather imagining the sort of bunny one uses Holy Hand Grenades on. I'll write you, you horrible thing, just left me get the story I'm working on done first!
And then everyone will hate me forever because I'm the kind of person who thinks of vorpal plot bunnies and then writes them.
*bangs head on desk*
Or they'll look at me funny and wonder what the hell I was going on about.
But first the rest of the story I'm currently working on.
(PS: Why can't I draw? I want to be able to draw.)
