It's done! It's here! It's ready to read!

The tenth and final chapter of Cassis Orange is now available on AO3.

So excited to hear everyone's thoughts!

Read Chapter 10 | Read from the beginning

But that's not all... a lil surprise under the cut!

To commemorate finishing the fic, last year I commissioned @sid3buns to illustrate a scene from chapter 7. I'm so excited that other people finally get to see it!

Look at them!! THEM!! 😭 Aaaaah I love this ship, and I love Buns' rendering of my fic's Kunigiri so so much. Thanks again!

My next project will be a binding of my own fic - whoever tipped me off to using rectangle shapes in Cricut to mock up covers is a godsend 🧡

Typesetting's going to take a while, but I found a bunch of art deco & cocktail motifs for it! All the chapters are named after different drinks.

Sneak preview time! 💗⚽🏠 (Chapter 10)

It's been SO LONG since the last one of these... and this is the last one ever. 🫡 Chapter 10 of Cassis Orange will be published on Sunday 16 February!

Until then, here's a preview of some Kunigiri domesticity from the final chapter.

The cocktail bit started out lighthearted, but I ended up really torn over what to title this last chapter. I wanted a name that symbolises the gradual merging of Chigiri and Kunigami's lives, similar to a cassis orange itself, since that's the whole story. I settled on this one: a drink I'm less familiar with but one I'll look out for in future!

Can't wait to read what everyone thinks. Thanks again for your patience with me and my longfic about two idiot men working through their issues to be with one another. It means the world. 💕

it's a running to-do list item (and has been for months) but I am making progress on Cassis Orange—promise!

The working doc is at 9.5K as of today. I expect it to round off at between 15-17K. So... a substantial epilogue at least, to make up for how long it's taking to update.

Seriously though: beat me over the head with something if it's not fully drafted by the end of the year 😭

on my hands and knees telling u I would die for the hiorin fic....

ahahaha! here's the thing... I can't promise it'd be a Hiorin endgame 🥲

I do love them as a ship, but as a writer I'm thin on ideas for AUs where they're happy and well-adjusted together 🫣 angsty and falling apart though? Way too many thoughts

Cassis Orange chapter 10's wordcount is at 5,700 words this morning, with about half the writing left to go. 🫡
