That was more what the first version was, if you remember. Niki stayed but she had to say goodbye to her old life and try to adjust to this new reality and world etc. where bad things still happened despite her happy ending.

Then for Lila in WBITHOM, she was planned to eventually have to go home. Cut all contact with the TLH cast (save for exists-outside-the-time-stream-Matthew-as-Saint-Nicholas) and everybody had to deal with this gaping wound left by everything they had seen and done to repair the universe, and who they had to say goodbye to. LIKE. I'M KINDA OBSESSED WITH THAT ENDING? I NEVER GOT TO WRITE AND PUBLISH IT, BUT IT WAS IN MY OUTLINE.

If I did it a third time :( there is genuinely no way I can think of topping that, no matter the word count.

Well, the good news is that you've broken the time loop.

The bad news is that the reason you've broken the time loop is because whatever force was responsible for maintaining it looked at the shit you did on that particular iteration and thought to itself: "you know what would be really fucked up?"

Definitely, it's supposed to be more of a tragedy. My character isn't allowed to stay. She has to leave or die.

Honestly, the second draft may forever be my favourite, it's difficult to improve on it because if I did a rewrite I'd make it shorter because I have less patience now for a project like that and I feel like you can't get the same breadth of emotion and tragedy without all that build up. And it also doesn't really work for people who never read the earlier versions, yk?

[tleeaves]

Right? I've been puzzling over it for a little while now. Haven't quite decided exactly the right execution for it yet or what style I'm embracing since I haven't written creatively for TLH in a hot minute (like an entire year).

[tleeaves]

It is! I only know about it because of "la petite mort" (all preceeding language is feminine because of the word mort being feminine) which is also a super cringe way to know. I'm sorry. I'm not even sure where I learned that phrase.

My favourite thing about the French language is that the word for "death" is feminine

[tleeaves]

...do you dare me to do it? I've considered making it a shorter piece where each chapter is it's own loop until it's broken.

THIS

the first law of tragedies: the end is already written and inevitable. the second law of tragedies: your actions are all your own and you can choose to get off this ride whenever you want. the third law of tragedies: we both know that you are never going to do that.

...I'm feeling somewhere between confusedly insulted and flattered. I'm stuck on the goat one especially. But I also absolutely love this 'cause also none of it's that far off.

“Miss Vesper Holly has the digestive talents of a goat and the mind of a chess master. She is familiar with half a dozen languages and can swear fluently in all of them. She understands the use of a slide rule but prefers doing calculations in her head. She does not hesitate to risk life and limb- mine as well as her own. No doubt she has other qualities as yet undiscovered. I hope not.”

Hephaestus energy, agreed.

while you studied the blade i studied the forge so i could make you the very best blade in the world! love you baby

[tleeaves]

It's good and cool to give your characters a single simple, straightforward, non-urgent, super-achievable goal that shouldn't really cost anything or hurt anyone, make that the driving factor for most of their decisions, and then have the Plot do everything in its power to stop them.
