for love of god I wish I hadn't trained my brain into generating sequel ideas.
#not least because despite what people say in their ao3 comments people do not actually like MY sequels or prequels#I actually had to repeatedly go through the last two chapters of yonder to scrub the automatic sequel set-up I do#there are still a few vestiges of it here and there#(it's good it got scrubbed because it was actually setting up for a different sequel than the one I'd write now)#but the thing is I literally do it on autopilot because I trained myself into this like twenty years ago#in all honesty I have a fair amount of sympathy for mcu showrunners on that point because like. I get it.#it actually takes real effort to catch myself doing it and then stop it#last few chapters of yonder were BAD for this reason#(not like. the chapters are bad. they're fine. but having to keep catching myself and stopping it.)#(the scrubbed scenes are in my cut scenes and concept writing tag)#anyway this is about my brain suddenly throwing up what is either a home au or the home version of the time heist#NO!!!! WE'RE FINISHING THIS STORY AND WRITING SOMETHING ELSE!!!#nobody actually wants that! not even me!#honestly I found out from horizon that people do NOT want my sequels or prequels and tbh this was clear from gambit#adventures in accountability#your girl#gambit was very popular -- to my eternal despair -- but many people who really liked wake did NOT like gambit because they're very differen#same with yonder (very popular) and horizon (extremely not popular by my standards). they are essentially two different genres of marvel fi#actually I'm genuinely surprised it took this long for my brain to throw this at me
