I think I need to face the fact that "Incendium" is never going to get done, which means the decision I need to make now is whether I want to post Part I as an individual story. Part I is set-up for the rest of the fic, but it's self-contained; it ends in a way that should hopefully make you go "I wish there were a sequel" and not "where the fuck ( Read more... )

I keep having to go back and edit out mantears of epic feelings. I think I've done it like eight times at this point, which is completely RIDICULOUS, but the tears just seemed so appropriate in that moment. But then I'd go back and be like THIS IS RIDIC THEY JUST CRIED LIKE TWO SCENES AGO
