My first, gut instinct word count estimate for this fic: 10k
The actual word count, now that I’ve finished a first draft: 22.3k
And that’s after I didn’t even end up writing the planned last scene and cut it off early, in a better place. Still, there’s..................clearly a difference there. And I really think it’ll get shorter when I edit! But even so. WHOOPS.
