ANYWAY i had to change the expected chapter number on Convenient to "?" because I realised that the ending I already had was way too rushed and that if I've built up the "oh no, Trouble lies ahead!" anxiety of the characters to such a degree then I need to make sure enough Trouble does indeed lie ahead and it's not all just fixed in a single scene. damn it, i need to drag this shit out a bit! i need to milk the drama! someone needs to get chained up (in a dungeon, non-sexually) at the very least!

now i need to think of another solution to it all, which i can definitely do and i am not in any way worried about it and i am confident in my own ability to resolve a plot without murdering thor again and don't worry it'll be fine...

#fic related #oh no!#happy ending still guaranteed though because i already said it'd have one and it'd be annoying if it turned out i'd been lying about that D #i was stuck on “but how can Character communicate with Other Character if they can't leave the room?” but OH HEY SERVANTS!#wow it'd look like i'd mentioned the curtseying chambermaid as foreshadowing not just for an essentially throwaway one-liner!#like when i re-read the arranged marriage fic and it seemed like i'd decided on the Baby Reveal at the end back when i started writing it!#“ooh maybe that wasn't just Period-Typical Sexism in that scene! maybe i'd decided on Baby Thor's gender at the start!” (i had not.)#goodness i bet this is what Proper Writers feel like sometimes!
