I know I said I would write the next chapter as a royality chapter, and I am, it's already started, but damn do I not know how to write this relationship. Plus I have to set up for stuff I can't tell you about yet AND I have to be funny? I may have asked too much of myself.

(I'll literally be fine but I have to complain about it or it's not going to happen.)

[sanderssidesthehouse]

So that happened. Chapter 15! They watch a movie. And everything's totally normal. Don't worry about it.

[sanderssidesthehouse]

I am so unbelievably sorry about this one. Read the CW in the chapter notes, I beg.

That one time Logan kissed Patton and the first time he kissed Roman. (Ref yhmaili chap 16)

I'm working on the next chapter of yhmaili, I swear. In the mean time, I offer you Logan giving kisses.

[sanderssidesthehouse]

I'm going to try pumping out the next chapter tomorrow, but I don't want to make any promises. I have somehow become a person who does things and it's been really good for my mental health but it means I've been writing less (plus this chapter was already kicking my ass). Part of what's been taking so long is that by necessity I've been writing this chapter in congruence with a future Royality chapter to make sure everything is cohesive bc they have their own subplot going on (that I cannot tell you about yet) and I'm trying to work it in naturally. I have only planted a single seed so far and tbh I don't think anyone noticed it, but the foreshadowing will get more obvious as time goes on and there's plenty of time before the pay off.

When I do update next I'll be giving you two chapters bc the one after this one is ready and has been since a few chapters ago. The majority of it was written before the fic went on pause so it's been around a while and just required some updated interaction.

I think at some point I would like to go back and re-edit the first chapters bc when I have to read back through them it drives me crazy how much they do not sound the way I want them to. I know what my original thought process was behind why they (and particularly Logan) talk like that, but I've decided I'm not into it anymore and I very much did not stick with it after I came back.

That's all the updates I have on it right now, thank you for your patience!

[sanderssidesthehouse]

Going to post polls for the lightning round probably Thursday or Friday. Haven't felt well and between school and work I've had almost no energy but I have Thursday and Friday off which will be nice.

Also! Going to try to finish putting together the next chapter of yhmaili bc I hate going so long between putting them out. The problem is the next one isn't as fun as the scene I started writing for either the chapter after or the chapter after that and if it does not spark joy it takes me a long ass time to write.

Hopefully my days off give me the time and energy to do the things I want to.

[sanderssidesthehouse]

I love when my fic writing homework is watching Monsters vs Aliens.

[sanderssidesthehouse]

Chapters 16 and 17! Kisses!

[sanderssidesthehouse]

Ok I'm back on writing it after taking a couple pit stops and I have to say I hate puns. Not bc I don't like them, but bc they're so hard to come up with sometimes. Do you know how many pun websites I've been on? And they all have terrible names and worse jokes. But I must endure bc I'm simply not that punny.

[sanderssidesthehouse]

Hey, would you still love me if I made the relationship between the two people who aren't going to date even more tender and got worse at naming chapters and also the formatting was bad? Would that be ok?

[sanderssidesthehouse]

Finally feeling well enough to work on yhmaili again. I've had a very busy few weeks but I should be getting into a better schedule now. I'm so excited too bc Roman and Logan are so unwell about each other. We need more 'obsessed with each other best friends' representation. They legit love each other so much. And are maybe a little codependent. They've been through a lot.

[sanderssidesthehouse]

What if we used mini golf as a verb like Shakespeare?

Next chapter is here! If you like Remus being perceptive, bullying Roman (with love) hours, and random facts about characters' pasts that won't come up again for a while, then boy howdy do I have the chapter for you! Oh, also they're mini golfing bc I just do that in fics.

[sanderssidesthehouse]

Roman and Logan's friendship is actually something that can be so personal. So I'm really sorry about the next few chapters.

[sanderssidesthehouse]

Two and a half years later, Chapter 11 has arrived! I'm going to begin updating again, probably still highly irregularly, but not nearly as long in between lol.

General premise: Virgil has had a lot of roommates. The only thing, is they never really knew he was there. That's what happens when you've been stuck in the same apartment as a non corporeal being for nearly one hundred years. Recently two more moved in and one of them is a little more fun to play with, being the biggest skeptic he's ever known, that is, until he's presented with indisputable proof.

This chapter: Five old friends have Monopoly night, a very serious affair, and also discuss Logan's new mystery man and watch an excellent movie, I'm telling you, it's an instant classic.

[sanderssidesthehouse]

Ok, I have a few days coming up where I am free to do absolutely anything and by god one of those things will be putting together this chapter. The problem is I really want to write other chapters but I can't until I write this one. Well, I mean, I can. And have. But I can't share them until I get there and step one is this current chapter which I don't want to write bc I want to be writing other chapters that are more fun. But we have to get there. Ya feel?

[sanderssidesthehouse]

I actually put words into the yhmaili doc. For the next chapter even. So it will be coming somewhat soon now. Probably within the next two weeks. Which doesn't sound like soon, but it really is for me tbh. Unfortunately fic writing is competing with work and school for my energy of which I already have a relatively low supply of. After this class I think I'll have a little bit of time before the next one to be able to write more.
