Soon! · 2:11am February 16th
I think I've used that blog title three or four times now.
Anyway! New chapter of Spectacular Seven is almost done! I was hoping it would be done this week so I could post it on Saturday, but I need to rewrite a scene. And that's before I edit it! And before Drakey edits it! The good news is...
It's another 10k+ chapter!
-Internally screaming-
That's right, I'm back on my bullshit! Y'all are really getting spoiled this volume with these word counts. But like with Fragile Pride this chapter is extremely important and there's no good spot to break it up.
And, while this isn't the longest drought I've made you suffer through, I will break my usual Saturday tradition and post it whenever it is ready. For I am a gracious god... goddess... whatever I am.
I need a new profile picture.
Anyway! To show my magnanimity, here is a little snippet of the incoming chapter.
Shoulders squared and eyes set, Twilight marched forward. Moondancer’s features came into focus. She still wore her dress suit, but her hair was down, hiding her face behind her bangs.
She looked over as Twilight approached and gave a tired smile. “You came.”
Twilight dropped her duffle bag, pulled her sword out, unsheathed it, and leveled it at Moondancer, all in one seamless motion. “I know I can’t win. But if you try anything, I will go down fighting.”
Moondancer blinked in surprise, then eased into a smile again. “You’ve grown up so much since we first met. It’s astounding. I wish I could say I had a positive role in that growth but, I know better.
“I know you don’t trust me, and you have no reason to. But these are the truest words I will ever say to you: I never wanted to hurt you. You were the best thing to happen to me since my mother was taken. I enjoyed every moment we spent together. And no matter how much you despise me, I have been and always shall be your friend.”
Twilight scowled and furrowed her brow, trying to read Moondancer’s sincerity. Despite her actions, Twilight wanted to believe Moondancer was a good person deep down. And she had quoted Star Trek, something she knew was near and dear to Twilight. But Moondancer was right, Twilight had no reason to trust her, and she didn’t know if she could ever reciprocate Moondancer’s friendship again.
Lowering a sword only a fraction, Twilight asked, “Why did you bring me here?”
“I needed to show you something.” Moondancer gestured with a hand. “Follow me.”
If I talk anymore, I'll start to spoil things, and y'all know I hate spoilers. So I'll just end with, see ya soon.
Yay! Super excited! Thank you for your gracious generosity
Squueeee!
Sweet, a preview! This story is taking such a long time to update that I'm suffering from Awesomeness Withdrawal, but I've resolved to see it through to the end!
