You ever reread something you've written and go "Oh! I know how I could make this work! This would add so much depth, and resonate with a later story..."

And then you get to the end and there's a note for the exact same idea you just had?

I guess that means it's a good one. 8F

#this is like the third time I've done this.#I completely forgot I'd thought of it before...#For myself and posterity: This was about the idea that was originally a memory from when Dove is Very Young #that I scrapped shortly after writing it and decided it would just be a dream/nightmare Alerina has and didn't Actually Happen.#The original concept was Azar basically comes to Dove+Alerina's home and is like ''I know you have a child here and I know she's Trigon's.'#And of course Alerina panics but Azar basically says she doesn't have to do what she did with Raven because Dove's not as much of a threat.#And when I figured more out about Dove's childhood I was like ''No that wouldn't make sense. Why would Azar keep this a secret?''#And then I found out more about Dove's teenagerdom and TFJ (wherein Dove actually MEETS Azar multiple times)#and THEN I figured out ''Wait. Wait no Azar DID know Dove was there. How could she not? How would Alerina's spells supercede her power?''#But she still didn't tell anyone because it wouldn't have done any good or made any difference.#And Alerina was keeping Dove in control enough to Not Be a Threat. So she kind of just. Kept this secret close.#And THEN I realized ''OH! So this DREAM Alerina had when Dove's powers start developing: Maybe Azar sent that to her!''#To instruct her and promise her it'd be okay. Which would resonate with TFJ when Dove finds out Azar DOES know about her.#And it turns out I had already written a note for that exact same idea. lD #rhs stories #rhs fanfics #the final journey #dove's memories
