Dividing Lines Chapter 33

Co-written by the extraordinary @lgwilt, we're proud to share Chapter 33 of Dividing Lines!

https://archiveofourown.org/works/61967617/chapters/230802141

“I don’t want to hear anything from you.” Verity’s palms were starting to sweat; her shoulders ached from stretching to hold down both levers at once. “You’ll regret this,” Miss Minutes warned, all pretences dropped. “When Ravonna hears about this, you’ll be fired. You know what that means.” She zoomed closer, filling Verity’s field of vision. “You won’t exist,” she hissed. “Your counterpart will be out of a job. Your daughter won’t get the medical care she needs to stay alive. All because of your selfishness.” She jabbed an accusing finger in Verity’s face. Verity’s eyes filled with tears. “You’re lying,” she whispered. “Am I?” Another violent kick to the door rattled the walls. Any second now the guards would burst in and drag her away, Loki and Casey would be put back to sleep and she would be marched into the TVA elevator for the last time… Verity set her jaw. Her existence inside the TVA had been pointless – an empty lie – but at least the last few minutes of her life would mean something. She screwed her eyes shut and held on.

Dividing Lines Chapter 29

Chapter 29 of Dividing Lines is out! Co-written by the wonderful @lgwilt. Mobius goes to the Break Room.

https://archiveofourown.org/works/61967617/chapters/224528926

A snippet where Mobius turns the tables on his interrogator:

“You say you’re not severed – do you remember who you were before the TVA?” Ravonna rolled her eyes dismissively, but Mobius saw the way her shoulders tensed. “Of course I remember.” “Really?” “Yes. My name is Rebecca Tourminet. I live at 37 Meridian Drive. I love to bake.” “And your childhood? What do you remember about that?” Ravonna didn’t answer. Her face twitched in pain as if fighting a sudden headache. “Tell me about your tenth birthday,” Mobius pressed. What is or was the colour of your mother’s eyes? “Or your parents, tell me something about them. Anything, and I’ll believe you.”

Dividing Lines Chapter 25

Chapter 25 of Dividing Lines is up, co-written by the stupendous @lgwilt. (Endless appreciation to Lgwilt for giving into my flights of fancy when I want to write scenes from every imaginable characters' POV, including an exasperated Ravonna Renslayer and a panicked Miss Minutes)

Ravonna’s office was quiet aside from the steady tick of the clock and the impatient tapping of Dox’s finger against her chair. Yellow lamplight cast long shadows across the hourglass patterned carpet. There was a chill in the air, almost as though winter was seeping in from the world outside the TVA’s walls. Ravonna shivered. This was impossible, of course – the TVA existed outside time and space – but the thought, however fanciful, made her uneasy.

Ravonna paused her pacing to check her watch. It was late. Miss Minutes should have arrived by now.

Dividing Lines Chapter 23

And let the burn keep on burning - Chapter 23, co-written by the stupendous @lgwilt is up!

https://archiveofourown.org/works/61967617/chapters/217316481

No name, no memories, and an overabundance of corporate jargon that would drive anyone insane.

Loki is trapped inside a sinister bureaucratic nightmare, and he’s desperate to wake up.

The TVA – whatever that is – claims he opted to undergo the “Severance Procedure,” splitting his consciousness into two distinct chronologies: one living freely in the outside world, the other eternally bound within the confines of the TVA. The only light in the darkness is a man named Mobius, who also happens to be his team leader.

If Loki has imprisoned himself on purpose, he wants to know why – and if he can’t escape, that only leaves one option: burn it all down.

Dividing Lines- Chapters 19 & 20

Two chapter update week! There was simply too much brilliance (and creepy ambiance setting) by @lgwilt to condense into one chapter this week. So enjoy chapters 19 and 20 of Dividing Lines.

Okay so very much breaking the rules (work this week was wild) but sharing a snippet from the upcoming Chapter 18 of Dividing Lines, co-written by the phenomenal @lgwilt.

Featuring Verity and Casey being their usual selves.

***

“It’s probably a trap,” said Verity matter-of-factly, not turning from her inspection of the room around them. She was currently investigating a ‘suspicious-looking’ lamp. She flicked the switch on and off and checked beneath the lampshade. “I’m just here to protect Mobius and the others if OB tries anything.”

“That’s what Deepak said!” The woman took a step closer to Verity, suddenly animated. “He says it’s dangerous to mix with other departments. He told us the rumours about OB.”

“That he was involved with the coup?” Finding nothing in the lamp, Verity began to rifle through the cabinets, yanking each door open as if to catch any attacker hiding off-guard. “Yeah. We’ve heard those rumours, too. Apparently OB was the mastermind.” 

“According to Brad,” grumbled Casey, rolling his eyes. “He made things up all the time. Chip?”

Casey held out the bowl to the woman from Maintenance & Repair. After a moment’s hesitation she reached inside the bowl and extracted a single chip, which she regarded with deep suspicion.

Aannnddd we’re back! Thrilled to share the next chapter of Dividing Lines, our Loki Severance AU (sorta), co-written by the fabulous @lgwilt! Well, that short hiatus turned into one much longer. We realized there was a lot more story to tell than originally thought but now we’re ready to resume our weekly posting schedule all the way to the end! Thank you to everyone who has left a kudo, comment, or shared their thoughts with us over the course of this fic. We are so excited to continue sharing this story. 💚 https://archiveofourown.org/works/61967617/chapters/211442216

Tagged by @blackbirdofasgard earlier this week, thank you friend 💕

Excited to share the first sentences of Chapter 17 which - drumroll- will be posted this Sunday. That’s right, to everyone following Dividing Lines, after a 8 month hiatus (whoops), we’re back!! @lgwilt and I have all the entire thing written 🎉🎉 We’re excited to get back to sharing it with you once a week again!

A refresher on where we left things- Mobius and Loki find a curious item in an abandoned conference room.

A small handwritten note fluttered out of the JetSki magazine and onto the carpet. Mobius hardly noticed; he couldn’t tear his eyes away from the stretch of brilliant blue ocean and cloudless sky. A colourful JetSki raced through the waves – a Yamaha FX Cruiser, his brain easily supplied. He ran his hands over the magazine’s glossy cover, tracing the JetSki’s contours. It was polished to a high sheen, deep red with yellow accents. The colours were astonishingly vibrant, even in reproduction – Mobius could only imagine how beautiful it would look under a bright summer sun. The paint job must have been specially ordered, since Yamaha FX cruisers only came in two standard options, black or white. Custom paint sometimes tarnished more quickly with prolonged exposure to salt water, but that didn’t seem to bother the man on the JetSki: his face was alight with joy, like nothing mattered except the feeling of being out on the open water, speeding towards the horizon…

“Don.”

Mobius blinked, the unfamiliar name startling him out of his reverie. Loki had retrieved the note from the floor. He stared at it with a puzzled frown as he read aloud.

“They’re expanding Great Lakes Watersports & Tours to a new location in Cleveland. Looks like there will be some jobs available. Would love to have you home. Love, Jen.”

He looked up. “Who’s Don? And what in the world is that?”
