#fractures update

[evienyx]

My next post will be the next Fractures update.

I’ve finally finished the first chapter of Book 2, which took so long because I did in depth chapter outlines for all of Book 2 first, which should make future updates quicker. I hope.

I WOULD have published it by now, but unfortunately I couldn’t finish the tagging of the new work and putting all the links in before I had to go to work. Woe is me.

Anyway, give it a few hours. Look out for those two new chapters tonight (or today depending on your time zone).

Typing of mobile makes it hard for me to express how exciting this is. I’m very excited. Thrilled. I swear.

What's the only thing harder than keeping the streets of Brooklyn safe? Being a good daughter to your Soviet immigrant family.

Sasha has a hard enough time balancing heroics as Cementria alongside her friend Caron (aka Lightning Strike) with the college classes she needs to take to satisfy her parents and the constant comparisons to her perfect cousin Asya.

But as Sasha starts to uncover something rotten in her city, she'll have to get tougher than ever to keep everything from crumbling apart.

Got another question! Anyone can answer this time.

When you all were still in the pizzeria before the guards came, what did you guys do for entertainment? Were you able to play any of the arcade machines or mess around with the plushies, or did you guys just kinda hang out until it came time to get to buissness? Hope this question finds you all well!

I love that au :o what's Karen's hero-sona like??

Thank you so much!! This is a really good question actually :0

I can see Karen taking after Mysterion in a lot of ways, despite him being the one who forbid her from trying to be a hero in the first place. Trying to be mysterious and such but due to her inexperience just ends up looking silly. Also due to lack of powers and experience Karen isn't much of a fighter, often opting to help people with stuff in contrast to Mysterion fighting evil and such. Though she does have her moments when stopping Disarray (who wouldn't really do anything to hurt Karen because 1. She's a nice girl, that would just be mean. And 2. God help him if he pisses off Mysterion)

Haven't thought too much about what her Persona's name would be or a general theme to it (mainly because my brain isn't cooperating with me and coming up with ideas). But design wise I can see her wearing a hood of sorts to conceal her identity and because it makes her look like another person she looks up too, her older brother!!

So I promised an update and here it is!

Some of you may have seen the recent news about solar activity and the northern lights coming to the UK? Well I was offered to work on an observational study of this so it meant changing my routine to working nights for a bit

So I have been educating for two days instead of 3, still writing papers for 2, but have amended one day back to live animal study at the local conversation area, and added from my days off to make a second, so I only now have Sundays completely to myself

Also spanner in the works - I currently have 3 fractured fingers on my left hand, 2 of which are missing fingernails so that's yuck! This was the silliest of silly life accidents and my colleague still hasn't forgiven herself for shutting the gate on me. I've told her we're even because I bled all over her car on the way to hospital ���🤣

Anyone who's ever been to wildlife parks will probably have seen these - they are heavy metal and if you don't hold them back they magnetise and lock behind you to stop the animals escaping.

My fingers can tell you that they work!

So there you go. I haven't had the best typing ability to get my work done let alone anything else but I am still here with you all!

[letters-from-the-4077]

4x18: Hawkeye

Dear Dad,

I am concussed. So so so many concussions. You’d think my brain was made of gelatin the way it wobbles and wibbles. I don’t think wibbles is a word.

Mr. BJ is writing this letter for me. Actually, it’s Dr. BJ. Dr. Hunnicutt of the 4077th MASH unit.

My head hurts. But I wanted to you know that I am okay. 

You know what’s funny? If I didn’t write to you to tell you that I’m okay, you would never have known that there was a chance I’m not okay, which means that this letter is net zero information. The unknown and being not okay cancel each other out and then you carry the two and then you get me, your son, being okay.

Your bestest okay-est son,

Hawkeye

.

Dr. Pierce,

This is BJ writing now. I suppose I also wrote the top bit, but only because I don’t think Hawkeye would’ve been able to hold a pen and focus on the page at the same time, and even he seemed to realize that. Correspondence when it comes to Hawkeye is surprisingly difficult. Lots of “stops” and “wait don’t actually write that.” Hopefully I got enough of what Hawkeye was trying to say. Even concussed, his brain moves faster than his mouth.

He is going to be okay, just so you know. Nobody’s really quite sure what happened and he’s either too concussed or too guarded (or both) to tell us anything more than the basics, but he’s back safe at the 4077th, and nobody’s about to let him out of their sight for the next couple of days. I’m sitting on an extra bed in post-op now, writing this letter to you. Hawkeye’s finally resting and I felt that what he told you might’ve caused more worry than what should’ve been assuaged, which is why I’ve decided to continue it. 

I hope that’s not too forward of me. I’d write you a whole new letter but I wouldn’t want that to cause even more concern, and besides, paper’s in high demand out here. Everything’s in high demand, actually. 

But Hawkeye is going to be just fine, if not in need of a few weeks of bed rest, God help me when I have to actually tell him that. I’m sure you know better than I, but Hawk’s not too into staying in one place and resting until it’s the only thing he seems to do. 

He hasn’t confirmed it yet, but Radar—that’s the company clerk, I’m sure Hawkeye’s told you about him—said that there was an overturned jeep next to a small local village, and he’s pretty sure Hawkeye was in it when it crashed. Radar said he didn’t see any evidence of shelling or anything like that, so your guess is as good as ours as to why the jeep decided to roll over on its side in the first place. 

Hawkeye was due back from the 8063rd where he went down to help out because two of their surgeons came down with the flu, along with about half of  their nurses. Miraculously, we haven’t had any flu problems out here in the 4077th, but maybe we’re next in line. Whatever the case may be, Hawk’s jeep crashed on his way back and according to Radar and Hawkeye’s ramblings, a nice Korean family kept an eye on him for the better part of the day and sent one of their daughters to our camp to go collect him.

We took pictures the second Radar came in with Hawkeye, and even in his own state of being concussed, he had managed to diagnose himself with the right thing without any of our imaging. We merely confirmed what he had already announced: a skull fracture just behind his ear, on the fissure between his right parietal and temporal bones. I’d say it’s a minor fracture, but the skin is broken, and you know as well as I do that there’s really no such thing as a minor skull fracture. 

He’d been mostly alert and somewhat been able to follow conversations, but you never know with Hawkeye. Even on a good day, where he has zero skull fractures, his mind runs faster than the rest of ours. Jumping between thoughts has never been much of an anomaly, but I’ll be the first to say that it’s worse than normal.

But, I digress. He’s resting now, actually sleeping, and we’re all going to keep an eye on him. I’m writing this in the mid evening, and I don’t get off until 2200. Regardless, I’m going to spend the rest of the night in post-op to make sure that nothing happens during the night. We’ve already started him on saline and penicillin; saline for rehydration, and penicillin because nobody here wants to chance a skull fracture becoming infected. The phrase “preventive medicine” comes to mind, but I doubt any doctor but myself is thinking about that in Korea. 

You’re probably going to be getting another letter from Hawkeye when he wakes up. I don’t think he’s going to remember much of this past day, let alone the hour before finally falling asleep and the mumbling of words as he tried to get through a letter to you. He’s also going to probably downplay his injuries when he writes to you, which is another reason why I felt the need to take over this letter. 

I’m not sure if Hawkeye’s told you anything about me, but I have a daughter out by San Francisco, nearly 10 thousand miles away, and if anything had happened to her, I know that I’d want to know immediately, and with all the details. It might be different seeing as how Erin, that’s my girl, is only a few months old and Hawkeye is pushing 31, but I’m not convinced. This might be the naivety of a new parent coming through, but I get the feeling that no matter how old they get, you never stop worrying. 

I suppose I should reiterate it again: Hawkeye is going to be okay, and we’re all keeping an eye on him, even Margaret. Don’t tell anyone I said this, but I think she truly cares about Hawkeye. He’s an easy person to care about. Almost too easy to worry about, some days. 

If anything else happens, I’ll get Radar to place a call to you so you don’t have to wait for these letters. I suppose if that’s going to happen, you’ll have already known about it, seeing as how postage delay is up to about two weeks out here. 

I think Hawkeye’s rambling might be rubbing off on me, and there’s really no other updates I can get at this time, so I’ll end it here and get this letter sent first class. 

Signed,

BJ Hunnicutt

Chapter 2 is finally here!

What to expect:

-get to know the team a little better

-enjoy your first mission with them

-face your fear (I’ll probably add at least 2 more here, at some point)

-meet the final mysterious RO

DEMO

I’m excited for Chapter 3 already ^^ A prophecy awaits the Commander!

As a small life update also, I managed to completely fracture both my lower leg bones and been a bit... sad for the past 2 months. You don’t realize how much you move until you’re forced not to, lol. In hindsight, I got to leave the airport in an ambulance, didn’t even get through customs. Talk about VIP treatment :)) Will hopefully laugh about that a year from now...  Getting my first scan since the surgery this Monday, and hopefully the ok to start using my leg again <3

Haha I did it!!!

Fractures, from the Beginning

Memories often bring out things that were meant to be kept hidden. Perhaps, though, this can be a good thing.

- - -

Whoa, what's that I smell? A new Fractures chapter?

I've made the executive decision to not actually make any promises about update dates anymore. They never work out, and then I just feel embarrassed. I don't even remember if I made a promise on this one. Who cares, it's here now.

Anyway, if you haven't checked it out already, the first chapter of the Fractures Rewrite is up! You can check it out with the link to the Beginning above, or just by going to the first chapter of the original Fractures work.

Okay, enjoy the chapter! This one was a slog to get through mostly because I'm so excited to get to future stuff. As is my constant curse. Ah, well.

not lu! adding this just in case

[fractured-shield]

I did finally finish my draft of ch5, which puts the current fractured shield draft at...122 pages apparently? 44k words? what??

the first couple chapters are pretty solid for a first draft* I think, even if the next ones need some editing, so I'm using this as an excuse to drop the first chapter link again

*definitely not my first draft, I've been working on it in some form or another for 12+ years and had multiple full drafts, this is just the first after my 3rd or 4th major lore/worldbuilding reboot lol
