(CiP)[Hereafter] Chapter LXXIII: (Re)Birthmark
Not 100% on the title, but I don't have any better ideas right now, so it'll have to do.

[Hereafter] Chapter LXXII: Lazarian Return
"Lazarian" as in "of, relating to, or similar to Lazarus," which is technically not a word but I'm out here making enough stuff up that I think I have the leeway to make that up, too.
So some...

I spent too much time yesterday writing something that will probably never see the light of day because it's too self-indulgent, so I'm late starting this again. Blegh.
Payment Structure
So, let's talk for a minute. No, no, it's nothing bad, I assure you, it's just that a particular option has been made available recently, and I figure I should clarify it and discuss it with all of...

Try your hardest, Ritsuka, Rika! Even if it's hard, you'll make it through this!

Took a little longer to figure out where I wanted to start this, but I think I want at least one more chapter between Septem and Olga coming back.
[Hereafter] Chapter LXX: After Action Reflection
Here we go. Some Romani being Romani, some Taylor being Taylor, and the twins being the twins, and also Arash being a total bro. The twins go, "We're shounen heroes! We don't accept ultimatums!" An...

I don't want to just go jumping into resurrections, so let's have a little bit of breathing room first.
[Hereafter] Chapter LXIX: Return to Normalcy (Refrain)
The team comes home, and Da Vinci is waiting for them.
I want to call this a "quick cooldown chapter," but it's almost 6K words long, so that wouldn't be right, and they don't do loads of coo...

A break after Septem, I said. What's a break? Is it a type of food? A writing technique?
[FRW] Chapter 16: Attempted Domestication II
7000 words of a "date" that isn't quite a date. Well, this is a Fate story, so there's only one way for it to wind up going.
Those last two scenes are ones I've been wanting to put into a cha...

Whew. 3.6k done in one session. I was determined to get this all out at once, so I knuckled down and pushed until it was over.
It might feel a little anticlimactic, and I can understand that,...

This should be the last chapter of Septem, hence why I chose the name I did for it.

Yes, it's time. The Septem Singularity is approaching the end, and certain secrets are being brought to light.
Apropos of that, I might wind up taking a week break after Septem is finished. J...

So now I just have to figure out how to make interesting a fight with a guy whose Noble Phantasm is basically, "I make giant tree."
Maybe I should go watch some clips of Hashirama fighting. 2022-08-11 09:26:18 +0000 UTC View Post

Well, this is finally getting some attention again.
(CiP)[Hereafter] Chapter LXIII: Caput Imperialis
The Septem Singularity's endgame gets put in motion. There should still be another four or five chapters left in Septem, but it's finally in sight.
