It Aten't Ded

This is just a quick apologetic note for the delay in the next chapter, and to say that, despite said long delay, this fic ain't dead yet, and doesn't want to go on the cart.

This chapter has just been something of a bear to write, that has turned out a hideous, unpublishably-bad mess of clunkiness in every version I've turned out so far. Which I have come to realize today has come from trying to inject some conflict into it that didn't grow organically out of the nature of the characters, which, well, ain't gonna work. Even if it does mean that y'all are going to need to wait until the bigger conflicts show up later in the story for that particular aspect of plot.

So I'm throwing out what I have for it currently, and rewriting from scratch. Hopefully more quickly now I'm no longer trying to force characters to act out of it.

Bravo on not trying to force something that doesn't fit. Conflict or no, I look forward to seeing your characters develop and interact (that's a big part of what makes these crossovers fun for me).
