Had to delete (or rather move to my deleted scenes document) my first scene of Shared Dreams AU because despite a very important element put in it I realized it wasn't fit for a first scene and really drew out the moment before the inciting incident in a boring way

Cons: I went from 2000+ words to 700

Pros: Since the scene is still important and needs absolutely to be in the story I got another chapter basically already written

#Shared Dreams AU #plus it made Espio seem very negative about his life and that's just not what I want his character to be seen as #so giving him a more lighthearted first scene will be better to establish who he is and how the inciting incident affects him #like he enjoys the little things and loves his chosen family aka the peeps he lives with they're just in a rougher patch money-wise #but the og made it so focused on the bad due to it paired with the inciting incident it was weird #and I didnt know how I would go from there to some other story events without accidentally making an obnoxious bE gRaTeFuL narrative #which I want to avoid bc I hate it when it's used irl for that specific context like in the story so why would I put it in a fic JFBJSCKFJD #rambling
