(CiP)[Hereafter] Chapter CXXVI: Great Expectations
I feel like I'm going to get a lot of mileage out of Dickens in this Singularity.

[Hereafter] Interlude NF: A Scholar and a Gentleman
Yes, that's right, our new friend's identity is never confirmed in the text of this interlude, and for good reason. I'm holding that close to the vest.
It feels a little early to be starting ...

I think it's about time for another interlude, don't you? We'll see what the editing team has to say about placement, if this is maybe a bit too early, so I guess I'll be working on another chapter...

Kept waffling on whether or not to drop this and when, because I do want to finish it, but finding both the time and the drive to power through has been difficult when I also have to walk ...

We're easing in on an approach to London now, but I wanted to put a little more time between the vacation and the team getting back to work. I also want to use the original chapter release date as ...

Ironically, without meaning to at all, I was sticking somehow fairly close to the release dates for the canon story chapters. Well, I say that, but the first Singularity that wasn't in-game at laun...

And now, to take the crown of longest chapter in the story at over 9600 words, here you go, have this monster of a chapter. Why is it so long? Because I was determined to fit everything I wanted to...

Digging into the Fate soundtracks for this chapter's title. Can it be, Taylor finally learns how to relax a little bit? Impossible!
[Hereafter] Chapter CXXIII: Standing on Golden Sands
I wanted it to all be one chapter...but I couldn't make that. So it's going to go on for 2, because there's some other stuff I wanted to do with this and I knew it would wind up blowing past 9k —...

Da Vinci's surprise turns out to be...something we didn't actually get in Okeanos.

I didn't have a better title in mind, and all of the other ones I could think of might have eventually wound up better suited to a later chapter with different content and themes to work with, so I...

Still not sure whether this thing has a long term future or if it's just a plot bunny I'm exorcising. I've technically got two more chapters warming up (but not finished) and ideas for what to do w...

This one wound up being...a lot of summary of what Ritsuka went through inside of Chateau d'If. I was surprised and a little frustrated that so much time was spent on that, but I tried to make it m...

I got so caught up in Da Vinci's theory that I actually forgot what the original structure was supposed to be for a minute.
It feels a lot like the last few chapters didn't do too much of any...

A little late on this one, because things have been a little bit busy over the last few days. Only a little late, though.

A little late starting this one. The weekend was rough, let me tell you.
Not married to the title on this one, but we'll see where I can take things before I consider changing it.

In other words, the two things Taylor isn't particularly good at, and it shows.
Honestly, I don't know why Da Vinci doesn't get involved more often in canon until EoR. Like, sure, she's busy ...

So this chapter...wound up being a lot about Taylor and Olga Marie.
They both have very good points and very good reasons for believing what they do, and neither of them is necessarily wholly...

Very punny title for a very serious subplot, but what can you do?

Part 2. This was the thing I put 5K into in one session the other day. Isn't getting a full release just yet for the same reason as part 1.

So, no plans to make a major project out of this. Hell, no real plans for anything past the first, like, four or five chapters.
But once I started writing for it in earnest, I couldn't ...

No spindles or spinning wheels here, but I think that title is still appropriate, huh?
