FINAL CHAPTER OF THE ANDROID IS LIVE

It’s been a long time coming. I started posting this back in March, but the story itself has been with me since 2023. It’s been my constant project, my problem child, my favorite thing I’ve ever written. Finishing it feels surreal. Both pride and sadness.

This story stuck with me through writer’s block, through burnout, through everything. Even when I couldn’t write, it lived in the back of my mind. Finally getting to the end means a lot.

At some point, I’m going to do a little behind-the-scenes deep dive on all the threads, foreshadowing, and all the work that went into it (similar to what I did for Filing Off the Serial Numbers) because there’s so much layered into this one. It’s dark and messy and full of meaning, and I’m really proud of how it turned out.

If you’ve been reading along, thank you. And if you haven’t yet, I hope you’ll give it a chance.

“I’m an idiot,” Chuck says. “We can do a change of ownership online for fifty bucks.”

Dean glances between Chuck and Cas, but Cas doesn’t seem to have any better idea what Chuck is talking about than Dean does. Chuck crosses his arms and frowns at each of them in turn. “I’m talking about transferring ownership of you —” Chuck points at Cas, then at Dean, “to you.”

I know I teased about a new android chapter early this week (maybe Monday) and it is going to be tomorrow.

Full disclosure, I got busy working on a bang fic and lost track of time last night. I’m going to do my final polish tonight and upload it so that I can publish first thing tomorrow morning.

Bright side, your girl has been busy writing. Downside, it’s for a bang that won’t start posting until February. 🫣

Sorry, not sorry. At least I’m writing?

The Android Chapter 28 is up!

I made you all wait, but we are finally getting backstory. What happened to Dean while he was in the military? We get our first “Then: Dean” chapter this week.

Dean has made references to the “Tin Man” and now we get to meet him.

Chapter 32 of The Android

Is up now! Short chapter but a very important one. A customer shows up that makes Dean a little uncomfortable.

I just posted a chapter of my fic about Shapeshifter!Castiel, Dark Blue.

I haven’t bragged as much about Dark Blue as I have The Android, but not because I’m not also proud of it.

With The Android I have been working on that thing since 2023 and it was the first really massive project I ever finished. It’s taken a lot of work. It’s been my baby.

Conversely, Dark Blue has been super easy. It started off as a plot bunny that sat for years but other than that original paragraph I didn’t think much about it.

After I finished the Android, I decided I wanted to do something easy and fluffier and started trying to work on an idea for a two person love triangle.

The problem was that while I may have been ready to move on, my brain apparently was not and delivered me Dark Blue pretty much fully formed.

What was really fun about Dark Blue though is I did something different than what I had done with the android. It worked out so well it’s also become how I have worked on the next one too.

I was on a road trip and used voice notes to pretty much plot out the entire thing. I was in the car for like eight hours and I spent the entire time going scene to scene and hitting all the major beats.

So when it came time to actually write the fic, I wrote it both really fast and really easily because I had all my transcribed notes from the road trip.

Dark Blue was a lot of fun to write, and although my original intention was to write a fun spy versus spy fic, it ended up being a little darker and a little more angsty than I intended.

And yet, even when I try to make something dark, these characters end up making it sweeter.

Anyway, a little behind the scenes lore.
