Pro: I've started planning out another Halt centric rangers apprentice fic
Con: this is almost certainly a way my brain is procrastinating on Short Swordsman
Pro: it should only be a one-shot! And one with a very interesting premise at that!
Con: I am also procrastinating on this fic by studying 15th century German fechtbuche for Short Swordsman
Pro: it will be studying a dynamic between Halt and Duncan that I haven't seen before
Con(. . ?): the more I plan, the more the dynamic falls into Halt/Duncan. I am aromantic. That would be difficult to write.
Pron: I am still studying fechtbuche (Psuedo-Peter von Donzig is my GOAT) ITS BEEN DAYS
Pron: the concept is very funny but I fear it will be heart wrenching
Pron: it's basically gonna be like-- 4k words of Duncan going, "you're the crown prince of Clonmel" and then Halt going, "nu-huh" "we literally played together as children" "nuh-uh" "You're my best friend!" "NUH-UH!"
Pron: I don't know where I was going with this post, but that's an update on what's going on with me with Ranger's Apprentice
Pron: I'm currently calling the fic Familiar Faces. If anyone has a better idea, please give me suggestions
