Hey guys! Sorry for going completely awol for like a month and a half. I won’t get into specifics, but I’ve had a lot of stress in my life recently so I haven’t had much time for writing, and I also kinda completely lost my motivation for a while. Needless to say, progress has been… nonexistent. But I think I’m starting to get my motivation back and I’d love to continue the fic if any of you are still interested?? Ik there’s only 2 chapters and it updates super slow so I completely understand not wanting to wait around for it, but if there’s any of you who are still invested, I’d love to hear from you! Feedback is what fuels my work the most, especially when I’m struggling with motivation. Anyways, I hope you guys are doing well. Thanks for all the support I’ve gotten so far! <3

Unhappy to report that I am still working on chap 2 of the mistynat hospital fic (ikik I’m sorry), BUT I wanted to take this opportunity to see if you guys had any requests for conversations Misty and Nat can have or any fun little filler moments I can throw in there, since the two of them have a lot of free time in the first couple chapters. I’m open to any suggestions so be creative!

Update for the 2 people that care about my fic:

I promise I didn’t give up on it, I’ve just been in a bit of a writing slump lately and have been generally busy. But I will try to write more today and get the next chapter out soon 🤞🤞

[sapphicsoldierwriting]

It had been 9 years since Natalie Scatoriccio graduated high school. 9 years since she was supposed to go to nationals and 9 years since she spoke to anyone on the team, and she wasn’t planning on changing that anytime soon. But fate had other plans.

When Natalie gets into an accident on the way home from work, she’s forced to reunite with her past as she finds out that the nurse treating her is none other than Misty Quigley.
