chapter update: not a crest chapter 5

So ok the thing is, I had written and edited and proofread a different chapter 5, and reread it yesterday preparatory to posting it, and then realized that... it's a wonderful little atmospheric chapter but nothing plot-relevant actually happens.

so i'm going to post it as a bonus holiday extra at some point and instead i posted the next chapter as chapter 5, because the plot actually advances and i'm trying to improve my pacing somewhat.

There is one solitary line that references the events of the now-apocryphal former chapter 5 which i shall post soon enough, and it is slightly confusing without that chapter already existing, but I'm leaving it in as an easter egg rather than removing it, and we shall see who notices it LOL.

So the thing is that when I took my unintentional hiatus this summer/fall, I had a bunch of stuff already written but not organized, and some of that stuff I had actually written like two years ago, and now that I've banged that into shape, I'm off the end of the stuff I've been actively planning for years, and now I'm into the And Then The Fun Happens part, which I would not let myself prewrite, but that means it's not already written. So it's -- well, pacing is never my strong suit, really, and it's only more challenging when I don't have some scenes already in the bag. Stringing prewritten scenes together is hard in one way, and writing out what I previously only had as Vibes is hard in a different way. I'm not complaining I'm just saying, LOL.

ANYHOW

in this chapter, which is now

chapter 5, on AO3

we get Lu snoring like a pug dog and Morvran admitting sleepily that he's not great at gender roles

“I’ll have you know,” Morvran said, slouching deeper in the armchair and putting his hands over his face, “that I spent years believing that I would someday be the one to carry a child. If I am tired and distracted enough I still could probably be convinced that I could.” “Did you really,” Ciri said. “I was unclear on… certain biological realities when I was a very young child,” Morvran said, peeking out from behind his hands. “I shouldn’t just admit that, though, should I? I sound mad. In my defense I was five or… well, six or seven actually, now that I count it out. Which is too old for that sort of confusion but in my defense I was very invested in my little brother’s impending existence.” “Oh no,” Lu said. “Morvran, that’s the cutest anyone has ever been.”

Hello! It’s been a long time since I’ve tried posting anything, but I wanted to start doing it more as an incentive to reach out into the community.

Specifically to the Pearlescentmoon fan base, cause I’ve found myself in a deep rabbit hole that I’m not about to dig myself out of!

So here’s my (admittedly late) version of Pearl with her super power from wild life ep 7!

Would you/ have you ever drawn Flower Ranchers fanart? (Jimmy×Tango×Scott)

I have drawn them before and I have done so again for you all!!!

I was originally just going to repost my previous art of them but my bestie gave me this banger idea for them and I needed to get it out there! (Also that art is like a year old now)

I've grown fond of snowbugs... they are so pretty!

I'll still leave my other art of them under the cut, as well as close ups of this one:

CHAPTER UPDATE: Fit for Thrones

yah i know!!!! it was an unintentional hiatus. and i kept rereading what i had and being like agh. agh agh. a bit needs to go here. the next installment needs this other bit in it. and finally i was like no it doesn't. i can just not follow that storyline for a bit and let it cook offscreen. meanwhile i have so much pent up force behind morvran and ciri and lu. so.

without further ado here is the next chapter, in which ciri and lu get a sort of portal date, abridged, and then Lu gets a fashion makeover and Ciri is better than usual at keeping her face journey to herself. (Only because of the lack of one notable, traumatizing accessory, mind, but that is not explored on-camera.)

Fit For Thrones, Chapter 3, featuring bar graphs of war crimes, and Lu revealing herself to be Not Exactly An Outdoorswoman

“We’re safe here,” Ciri laughed, mouth enticingly hot on Lu’s neck. “Let me under your skirt.” “Ah,” Lu said, considering what a vulnerable position that would put her in and weighing that against the welcome pressure of Ciri’s caressing hands around her waist. Normally making love outdoors led to some amount of restraint, for fear of someone happening by and catching you at it. This was not really better, she rather thought; being caught by a person was a thrilling sort of potential danger, with more or less high stakes dependent on context, but getting attacked by wildlife was less of a thrill and more just plain terrifying. “It’s getting dark.” “So it is,” Ciri said, nuzzling at her throat. “I’ve got very good night-vision.” “I don’t,” Lu said, and then repented of it. “Not that I don’t trust you to see any danger first anyway. But I’ve never been… in the wilderness like this.” “Oh,” Ciri said, and laughed. “I never even thought of that! I spend so much time in the wild. But I suppose it would be unsettling, if you’re used to city life.” “I believe you that it’s safe,” Lu said, sitting up slightly to hear better, which effectively trapped one of Ciri’s intently-roaming hands against the ground, “but what was that rustling noise?”

yes yes yes i have strayed from y'all with my bisexual disaster sailors but now i'm back because i have so many ideas to file the numbers off of, no fear i will never settle down on anything again
