WIP *checks watch* ...Thursday.

I am TRYING to get some progress going again on The Hotel at the End of the World.

These snippets are from two different 'in progress' chapters, the first is further down the line. And will not see the light of day unless I can finally sledgehammer through weeks of writer's block on the present chapter.

"Then congratulations. In all seriousness; congratulations." It was the first time hearing it. She hadn't… hadn't expected to hear it at all. But why shouldn't she? The baby was wanted, would be so very loved. Even if Olivia didn't deserve something so precious, it was a life worthy of celebration. "Hey," her friend said gently. "Pollita. You are not the first woman to have a baby out of a fling with a married man. You will move through this, and you will be an excellent mother. But dios, girl. Next time just pack a vibrator when you go away to a conference." She laughed. In spite of everything, the sheer disgrace, and how categorically unprepared she was to have a fucking baby, and not knowing if Nicolas' insistent invitations for her to join him in San Trobida would still stand once the 'complication' became known, she laughed. "Baby and a PhD? Doblehijueputa! A vibrator is all I'll have time for."

"Aside from that," Jake said, making the effort to do 'friendly'. He'd already decided to go with the party— wouldn't hurt to start opening himself up to friendly conversation…. "Holding up all right?" He almost got a smile there. Or wind. Was that just a thing with babies? "I'm not doing too badly, all things considered. It would be a gross understatement to say there'd been a lot to process, but I have Grace. It does make a difference. We actually…." Aleister became suddenly pink around the ears. "We actually had our own plans for tonight. Potentially… all things going as intended…. A new development in our relationship." Trust Sergeant Buzzkill to level up to Sergeant Cockblock. Ah well, least he was trying to get a good mood going. "You're lucky to have her. Pretty sure QB won't be offended if y'all slink off before the night's out."

WIP Wednesday :)

"All right, Malfoy. Hop on up—your turn!" "I'm sorry? You cannot be serious." "You're meant to be this fencing champ, aren't you?" "This isn't fencing, this is, this is bopping some fool with a pool noodle—" "I figured it'd be pretty hard to pretend someone didn't exist when the man's whipping your ass at a noodle joust. Right now, it's looking like either that or waiting for loneliness to wear her down…."

I am realising that I very much enjoy the friend match-up of Aleister and Jake.

I didn't quite meet my optimistic hope to get another chapter out on Friday, but 4 days late is forgivable - right? *hides* 😂

💭Jay pushes to regain a memory, but will the results be all she was hoping for? 💭

Memories, chapter 21 of my Endless Summer fic La Huerta

Im steadily getting closer to the end with this one. Still on track for a final chapter count of 30.

Wish Upon a Star

Chapter 3: Terra Incognita

Endless Summer post-canon, Vaanu ending / deep space AU / Jake x F!MC / hurt no comfort

He hoped to hear her voice once again, something else than the dreadful message she left them all those years ago, but her answer did not come in words. Instead, what came was a faint echo of her laughter, a memory of the way she looked at him that afternoon after they got married, when they both thought they still had tomorrow. His knees buckled underneath him. She loved him—was glad he found her—was proud of him. Proud. Like he’d done something with his life other than refuse to let go of her. Jake McKenzie stood still on this alien world two and a half million light-years from home with his hands hanging useless at his sides, and cried like a child into a sealed helmet where he couldn’t even wipe his face.

Chapter 2: In Absentia

Two suns. Twin shadows. Two pairs of moons. Everything here came two by two, holding hands. And stayed that way a good few billion years, just to rub it in his face. And then between all these pairs, there was a lonely little rock, Vaanu’s planet, the one where the other half of his heart had to be. Barely a speck of purple light when he first saw it, so small on the viewport he could cover it with his thumb. This your home, Slimer? You keepin’ my girl in a nice neighborhood?

I was asked how long I could sit on my next chapter once it was finished - and I guess I have my answer 🤣

'Symbols' Chapter 20 of my Endless Summer continuation fic La Huerta just posted, making a grand total of two chapters this week. I'm hoping to aim for next Friday for the next one but will have to see how well life decides to play with that.
