Chapter 4: Crowley walks Aziraphale home and they talk about his punishment. Crowley helps Aziraphale to see things creatively. Invitations are extended. Rescues are required. We get a glimpse at Crowley's home.

I had a very busy week last week and then got sick. But, I'm doing my best to keep the promise I made to myself to write and post a chapter a week. 💜

When they say shelving stories isn't the end of things and that you can always come back, we mean it.

I did some extremely light editing work today, on a whim, for "In Shining Armor" which I wrote in 1993!

The file is so old that I had to download LibreOffice to even open the file and then convert it because Word considered the file format a threat (probably to their pocketbooks more than security but still...).

So, to go along with you can always come back, also remember to both back up and never throw any writing away. You do never know when you might need it.

Someone brought some of their old work in to writing group this week, mentioning it was one of their first things which they had been thinking about again but also that they felt bad about how bad it was. And I mentioned, hey, it's probably fantastic compared to my oldest stuff.

So then I was like, hey, I should dig out my equivalent piece.

And... Sheesh, it is BAD bad.

63 pages double spaced but still with 8 parts and 41 chapters. One is a prologue and I'm fairly certain the last 4 "chapters" are all epilogues, two with multiple brand new characters being introduced in them. You know, for all those epic sequels I was going to write.

Peter Jackson has got nothing on me.

I also managed a very graphic sex scene without ever describing the body of one of the participants. Must have cut that for the magazine back in the day. Highschoolers writing smut! Scandal! Outrage! Why, I never! It's all too shocking! For shaaaaame!!

But it is at least spelling and grammar checked now XD so that's an improvement.

I don't know if I can quite imagine what this story would look like if I tried to do it now. Definitely not the same amount of smut. Don't know if it would be more or less, though.

It's so cliched fantasy.

Evil Tyrant overlord, check.

Return of the long lost prince, check.

Cursed good sorceress, check.

The peasants are revolting AND they're rebelling, Check.

My god the accents >_< XD!, yes, spell check, I do wish to keep all the whadya means.

...Somehow the rebels have guns when everyone else has swords.

The evil good Wizard did it.

The Wizard's name is Marlin, not to be confused with Merlin.

Villain (and HOMG check his name) gets a final monologue. AFTER he has gotten a fatal stab wound and is bleeding fire.

"You may think you have won," Darius gurgled, "But this is only the beginning. I shall come again. When you least expect it, and when you are least prepared to handle it, I  Darius Lucifero shall return." With that the flames engulfed him, and his ashes were set to the winds.

Che-eck, PLEASE.

Ah, no, it was only THREE epilogues. That's fine then.

XD!!!

So, you know, don't get too down on your writing. Trust me, you will get better. And probably faster than me XD! I still give villains final monologues. I like villain monologues.

I may just like monologues XD.

Really nice bottles of, y'know... if you just go through there, yeah... the Amontillado. That vintage. Just so. Down that hallway that also happens to have yellow wallpaper. Yup.

No don't worry you'll see it in a moment. There're also illustrations of rye near the floorboards. The floorboards that definitely don't have a heartbeat. You're *nearly* there-

What, what are you pausing by the curtains for?! The curtains are clearly just blue! Sometimes the curtains are just blue! Just keep going! Why are you yelping like the doorknob's burned you? Like I keep it at 451 Fahrenheit. Yes once in a blue lagoon you have a point but not this moment, man. Yes, the free Amontillado, again, because I'm The Giver, all magnanimous, me, you'll get there, just keep walking.

[ressu-rection]

My perfectionism is off the charts 😂

We had ribs and mashed potatoes and corn and mac & cheese. I couldn’t give the ribs to Yeshua because pork, which left just the sides for him.

Well, the mac & cheese didn’t turn out the way I wanted and I’m over here stressing about it cuz it’s not exactly how I wanted it. 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

So let me be a reminder to my fellow witches, your offerings/gifts are great. Even if you had something better in mind or you view it as mid, it’s fine. They probably love it and appreciate it regardless.

Just got humbled hard writing a few things for a card because I wanted to write a bit in cursive to make the words look nicer and was immediately hit with the realization that I can't do it on the fly and I had to think really hard to remember how some letters are supposed to look

So yeah kids don't believe them, you really can use cursive in your future for reasons beyond signing your signature!

Me @ me: I don't think you can call something a "side-quest" if it is an arc that has lasted an ACTUAL year.

*sigh* author has no chill. Not the rarepair everyone apparently wants (yet?) but -

Bix & Melshi. Potentially eventually Bix/Melshi. Not even going to try to pretend I have any goddamn clue what these two are going to do as the story unfolds.
