#cd facility spoilers

[callousdegenerate]

little update im posting here for anyone who wasnt in the discord, plus the message i put in on that channel. I linked the pdf from the discord but lmk if there's issues

My way of saying I'm sorry for being so out of it lately. It's just a drabble between TO and Luci. 3rd person and past tense. Nothing too important but it gave me a reason to write them interacting. Nobody's said anything about the piece in the discord so I don't know if anyone actually liked it? but I hope you guys do ><

How much is left of the story? R we gonna have a chilling plot twist?? After the facility do u plan on writing more fics

We're getting into the final stretch but we're not quite there if that makes sense. There's still quite a few chapters I have planned but it's not gonna be like another 50 or something.

I do plan on having epilogue-ish chapters that aren't from Ten's perspective. Two sets, one that goes into the Numbers' lives before being taken, and then the other about all the doctors. Mostly just snippets of interactions we didn't get to see because of the limited perspective of the main story. Plus more insight on The Overseer's life.

I'm not sure what I want to do after the story. I would like to try revamping an old vampire story of mine from middle school and maybe see where that goes but I don't know. I also have other ideas for smutty one-offs but I have no idea what will happen ><

Who are each numbers favorite/ least favourite of the doctors?

Generally a few of them actively hate all the doctors But if it was more of a "who do I hate being with less"

Cyrus

Most: Probably Gale purely because their "visits" were more psych sessions than the usual visit.

Least: Milos because of the rampant violent abuse

Two

Most: His own doctor, just because he isnt mean

Least: Mom, because creepy

Three

Most: She hates her doctor, but he's at least nice

Least: Milos would give her a heart attack

Blue

Most: Jon/Nat

Least: Milos or Jude. Old guys icky

Five

Most: Jon/Nat. She's softer and probably prefers the softer treatment

Least: Her own doctor

Six

Most: Her doctor. Insufferably prying, but at least they take care of her and keep an eye on her emotional state

Least: Milos, for being abusive to her girlfriend and for being a general shitbag

Violet

Most: Nat - romantic roleplay when she needs a break from her own doctor's weird and physically straining antics

Least: Would be Milos if she saw more of him, but she absolutely cannot stand her doctor

Eight

Most: None, all are on the same level of terrible, just different flavors

Least: Lilah, for obvious reasons

Lav

Most: Jon/Nat aren't terrible compared to some others, probably

Least: Jude/Sven. Sick of those guys

Pickle

Most: Monica's weird but nonoffending

Least: Mom really really freaks him out

Tanner

Most: No

Least: Everyone

In conclusion, fuck Milos

How would Lucius be like with a partner in a romantic relationship?

(Frankly I'm too tired to find the post from before that asked this so let me elaborate a new way because words are fun)

He wouldn't lose his usual charm just because the relationship is consensual, obviously

He won't bend over backward to give someone gifts or make them feel validated if he thinks they're self sufficient enough not to be so dependent, but he will spend time with them and be physically respondent. A high sex drive partner would get good mileage from him, and vice versa. A more romantically inclined partner would be one he'd still put his hands on, just in a different way. He'd know how to pluck their strings regardless.

He likes to be in charge of most things when his partner is timid, but someone at his level of dominance might provide him some entertainment. He might be a bit sly and mouthy just to get a reaction out of his partner, just because he likes to tease. If it's someone he actually loves, he never goes too far.

That said, he is quite brutally honest, and wouldn't hide his opinions from his partner. If it hurts them, he would eventually apologize when they calm down. He doesn't much like being pushed back against if he thinks he's right, but he'd probably try to make amends and work around his partner knowing that a relationship isn't so one-sided.

While he can be a suave romancer, Lucius isn't always so perfect. A strong-willed partner might survive the worst parts of his personality and sway him to be more considerate, but someone weak-willed may eventually find that the romantic air will fall until things break off.

hello i just finished reading the latest chapter and omfg i just realized how much love i have for three 😭 love it as always!

also i gotta ask, what would the Numbers be like as parents?

[]

Cyrus and Five would be fairly patient and guiding with their kids

Two and Pickle would be the kind of guys who'd consistently play pranks on them and make dad jokes

Three would rely on her partner to discipline them because she doesn't want to have to do it [but she'd be nurturing otherwise]

Blue would be the kind of parent to forget her kid at home while driving to the daycare

Six would be the "fun" parent who likes to spoil the kid(s), entertain them, and do things that make other kids wish she was their mom

Violet would be terminally exhausted by her probably smartass and energetic child and just take them on playdates so she can get other parents to help her watch them

Eight would be a stoic and begrudging father figure who intimidates other kids who don't know how he actually is but treats his own with care and love [in his own way]

Lav would be on her kid's ass to make sure they do well in school and don't get in trouble, but still be fair to them and show love for them

Ten would be gentle and loving but keep on her kid to do their best and make sure they don't slack off

Tanner would intimidate other people but be utterly protective of his kid(s) and teach them whatever he knows. He's probably the kind of guy who would drive an 8 year old to an empty lot to do donuts in a truck to entertain them, or teach them how to shoot a pistol in their backyard, but he means well. He'd also be the kind of parent to go fighting other parents of kids who mess with his.

People have been asking for a good ending? Huh, that's actually surprising, personally I see the ending either bad (TO's operations continue even after all that) or bittersweet (the numbers and maybe others escape, but not without some losses) but In both endings, for some reason I don't see Ten surviving, that's my guess at least. Personally can't wait to see what ending you do!

Yup! I guess a bad ending would be great for hitting at the emotional core of the reader and making them feel drained. I myself sometimes like reading stories or watching things that are emotionally exhausting with its tragedies, but it's not everyone's taste, and it's certainly not healthy to indulge in it all the time :p

But we'll see how things go!

We still have some beats to hit before we get to the ending, haha.

I don't want to feel heavy for asking.But could you give us a little sneak peek of the next chapter?Just a little drop of water for the thirsty.

uhh its not a lot or super "important" but here's a few rando paragraphs from one part

[callousdegenerate]

Sorry I've been neglecting asks. I'll do my best to answer some soon But for now, here's an "animatic" I did of The Overseer to Supertramp's "The Logical Song" (the first few verses. Not planning on doing more). It's been in my head lately so I wanted to try putting the images on digital paper. I mainly just liked the lyrics enough to want to do something with it. Aa, don't take this as canon too hard or speculate too much on it. Some things might be real, some might not.
