Hey. I love your wax of wane series so much. your writing is amazing and Ive found myself somewhat attached to Josh and Chris's relationship. Ive been reading through maybe a chapter a night and your writing is so good and im kinda addicted. So I was looking through all the chapters in the series and i accidentally read a tag that I wish i didn't later on in the series about their breakup? Im a couple chapters away, but im terrified I wont be able to take the angst. is there a happy ending? plz

Thanks so much for getting in touch. I’m glad that you’re enjoying the series, and it’s nice to know that people are still into it even though I haven’t updated in a while ^^;So… the dreaded tags. It’s always a bit of a dilemma deciding whether to include them, but I generally err on the side of caution so readers can make up their minds about what content they want to consume. Unfortunately, as you’ve discovered, this sometimes leads to spoilers.In this case, I can’t promise you won’t feel the angst, if I’ve done my job correctly. From what is currently part 17 onward (I say currently because this will probably change), you’re in for a bit of a rough time. The latest part - The Mountains Are Calling - is still a work in progress, which I’ll update when I get the chance to, but again, let’s just say it’s not the most upbeat of fics.

In better news, I have at least two more multi-chapter fics plotted out that continue the series beyond part 20, and two other multi-chapter fics set before chapter 17 - both smutty and in one case almost sickeningly fluffy - so hopefully that will soften the blow a little bit. In the meantime, if you’ll excuse the blatant self-promotion, I have some angst-free alternatives that might tide you over. I’ve posted a few other fics on ao3 besides the ones listed, but they’re either from other fandoms or perhaps a little too dark:

Planet Terror:A longass smut odyssey I co-wrote with the amazingly talented @flowerkingofangmar . Josh and Chris go to the drive-in. It’s filth. I’ll leave it at that.

35mm:This is where I keep my Tumblr drabbles (all smutty), which are, so far, very much inspired by the artwork of the unabashedly awesome @desperado-raspado . She posts a lot of great Until Dawn content (primarily NSFW), so her blog is worth checking out regardless.

Guts and Sparks:This isn’t fluffy by any means, but it isn’t exactly angsty either (?) It’s another ongoing fic that I’ll hopefully finish someday. I won’t go into too much detail in summary for fear of spoilers, but the tags should give you a rough idea of what’s in store. Lots of gore, so if that’s not your deal, give it a miss!

I’m currently working on another multi-chapter Climbing Class fic set in a decidedly happier AU, so there’s that, too. Fingers crossed I’ll be in a position to post it soon.So, back to your original question. I’m loath to give away the ending of W+W, but can confirm that I do have an ending in mind that will, I hope, give some resolution. I’m sorry I can’t elaborate, but I hope you’ll keep checking back. Again, thanks a lot for the ask, it means a lot. Apologies for the huge fuckin’ essay! xx
