New Chapter!

Well, I've finally done it. I've finally finally managed it. I finished "Small Things."

It's always an odd feeling finishing a fic. In some ways, you step away from it and it feels as though you've walked out from under a great weight. On the other hand, you almost miss the pressure, the fugue state like fervor with which your brain dragged you through each line of prose. This one feels like it was heavier than most, and dropping the weight is slightly akin to breathing again.

That isn't to say it was bad. On the contrary, I feel as though I accomplished something here that I can be fairly proud of an delved well into a topic I never in a million years would have thought I would write. Time will tell whether I did so successfully.

So, without further ado: Small Things Chapter 2

(I recommend jumping back to chapter 1 for some much needed context if you haven't read it yet.)

And if you're interested in reading any more of my works, I'll make it easy: TheMelodyPond

but in the meantime, I have to thank @nathaylee @ghost-bison and @gallifreyrises for letting me pick their brains and send them random snippets of things without context throughout the process. And I also have to thank gallifreyrises for betaing the first chapter, and nathaylee for betaing the second. Seriously, you are all the best and I never would have imagined I'd have people beyond college that wanted to actually *talk* about writing.

It was a relief to know that someone else felt about it as she did.

I've decided as an Autistic that never knows how to shut up that when someone shares something that's weighing them down in life I'll say something to sympathize, like "yikes!! That sounds like it sucks!" And then stop myself before sharing equivalents and ask them if they want Commiseration or Queen Charlotte.

I might ask my closer friends ahead of time just to get their reactions!
