UB doesn't know it...but this is where Jesse falls asleep 80% of the time...after eating frozen lasagna and watching late night animal documentaries/storage wars/pawn stars/ancient aliens 😭😭

A little bit on Jesse's relationships...

Rebecca: Awful. I head canon (which is supported by the text 🤓) that she was not there for most of Jesse's life. No birthdays, events for personal accomplishments, big milestones like graduating college. Didn't teach Jesse to drive, etc. etc. As a young girl, Jesse still had slivers of hope Rebecca would show up and...she never did.

"Hope is the first step on the road to disappointment" is pretty much the lesson she learned from her mother.

This is a pretty big reason why Jesse is the way that she is. She has a deep simmering resentment and anger in her life. This is something that's impacted how she approaches work and personal relationships. She has massive trust issues, difficulty opening up, and a fear of abandonment. (Why tf would I pair her with A?? Yeah..). The insecurities when it comes to personal relationships is why she throws herself into work.

Bobby: Ex-boyfriend. My hc for them is that, they are both impulsive go-getters (reporter and detective becomes their careers, fitting). Which is why they got together in college. Very fun, intense, and immature. Pretty much a love/hate relationship. Lot's of sex. You get the gist.

So, that will def still be there as much as I can do it in the game. They are currently at a low relationship, with attraction still there. Ofc, deep down they still care and have both matured from those college days.

Adam: I need to replay books 2 and 3 before I write more 💀

I will say, I am hoping I can play Jesse also emotionally unavailable for him too. I dont think I am able to. Like, she cant make up her mind because she also sucks. We will see.

Verda: I want them to be close friends, they are both science minded and have that dark humor. I need to replay the b2 and b3 because I cant remember much, but I believe you pick between him and tina for a route right? I will be picking his.

Tina: I hope she grows on me 😅

Songs that remind me of every romance route:

-A romance: Unethical-Faouzia

[ Tearing off my skin, just to let you in

Isn’t it a bit unethical?

Got me on my knees, have you any mercy?

Everytime you hurt me baby,

Tell me, have I not given you enough?

If you ever loved me, let me go]

-N romance: Angel- The Weeknd

[Angel, oh oh oh oh

Knew you were special from the moment I saw you

Angel, oh oh oh oh

I feel closer to you everytime that I call you

Cause all I see are wings

I can see your wings

But I know what I am, and the life I live

But even though I sin, we all want to live

But I know time will tell, if we are meant for this]

-M shy route: Nothing’s gonna hurt you baby-Cigarettes after sex

[Whispered something in your ear

It was a perverted thing to say

But I said it anyway

Made you smile and look away

Nothing's gonna hurt you, baby

As long as you're with me, you'll be just fine

Nothing's gonna hurt you, baby

Nothing's gonna take you from my side]

-M sexy route: Haunted- Beyoncé

[My haunted lungs, ghost in the sheets

I know if I’m haunting you, you must be haunting me

My wicked tounge, where will it be?

I know if I’m onto you, you must be onto me]

-F romance: Honeybee- Olivia Rodrigo

[Baby boy, honey bee

God I love the way you look at me

And it’s too hard to describe this

In a way that feels honest, but even when I’m quiet

I love you baby, I promise

….

In the dark, I’m not scared

I just reach and you’re right there]

-LT romance: Mr. Brightside- The killers

[It started all with a kiss, how did it end up like this?

It was only a kiss, it was only a kiss

…

Now they’re going to bed, and my stomach is sick

And it’s all in my head

But she’s touching his chest now

He takes off her dress now

Let me go

I just can’t look it’s killing me

And taking control

Jealousy, turning saints into the sea

Swimming through sick lullabies, chocking on your alibis

But it’s just the price I pay

Destiny is calling me]

The Wayhaven Chronicles— Update 07/Aug/2026 

Endings really do make me question my plans at times, lol!

After finishing one ending and all its variations last week, I moved onto the next one. I actually managed to do an opening that worked for the last ending I have too, so that’s actually ready to go for one version of the last ending (the other variation still needs a different opening).

So, that’s going fantastic, and I manage to get the main variation of it finished pretty fast!…Then I start worrying it’s not enough! But I try to ignore the voice in my head always wanting to add more, lol, and continue on to the, uh, let’s call it ‘rarer ending’.

For two of the endings, there’s actually a branch of the ending within each that will only occur if your character picks a specific set of options.

So, I was doing the rarer branch of this ending variation and it ends in a choice set, which is has to because it really needs an emotional choice to how the MC is gonna react, but that means I need to have different endings to the ending than just the ending I’d had planned.

And my brain went, ‘No. I can’t. It’s too much.’

Which is the exact moment I realised I was going to have to take a break, lol!

I don’t actually struggle with variations, I LOVE them! It adds more impact and weight, as well as replayability. And as I’ve said, it’s what makes Wayhaven what it is.

So, it was a bit of a shock to have my brain hit a major wall!

I was really, really hoping I could hang on until I’d finished Book Four completely, especially now I’m soooo close. But I also need to recognise when that exhaustion will compromise what I’m writing, and I really don’t want that now!

I will be pushing through to finish this ending, as there’s not too much left, and I hate leaving off in the middle of a scene!

But then I’ll be taking next week off to rest my brain and my hands, then be back fully refreshed to tackle the final ending and the epilogues!

It means there won’t be an update next week, but there is Unit Foxtrot’s summer scenario special going up on Wednesday for Patreon still, as well as asks on Tumblr (I think I have enough scheduled!).

Thank you so much all of you for your kind patience with this! It’s been such a longer journey than I planned it to for Book Four, but I truly think it will be worth wait! The feedback I’ve been getting from the editor and testers has been fantastic! And I’m really excited to share it with you all as soon as I can! <3

I hope you all have an absolutely fabulous week! We’ll be offline for it, but then I’ll be back after that to jump right back into it! <3

I'm new around here so sorry if this has been asked, but how did you know you wanted to commit to a series as big as Wayhaven? Did you know it would get so long and complicated so fast? Do you ever wish you could be working on something else, or do you love the world and characters so much you're happy staying with them for so long?

And forgive me if this is too personal, but do you ever worry that the series will be too long? Book 3 is already thrice the size of Book 1, will that pattern continue?

Incredible work of course, I just can't imagine ever working on something that long so wow to you!

Wayhaven was with me a very long time before I actually started writing it. I had been working on it since I was in my tweens, lol! It adapted and evolved obviously over the very many years, but I think that worked out better, as it meant things were very settled for me when I actually came to write it!

Things (and characters) have certainly changed and morphed from my original ideas, but the base of what I always wanted is there!

I know I say it all the time, but Wayhaven really is so much a part of me, I couldn't be without it. Not only I am very happy staying with it for so long, but I have tons of ideas for other stories I'd love to write in the world of Wayhaven!

Part of the reason Book Three was so huge is because I wasn't as organised! And my coding was horrendous, lol!

Book Four is much cleaner and more concise in many things. I did a huge amount of clean up work at the beginning of this book, which took a few months, but was so worth the effort, and will make a difference for all books going forward (I am learning as I go!).

Book Four is a monster, but that's due to branching and variations, which really are a lot in this one. To read it, it should actually be a lot smoother (hopefully, lol!).

If anyone is worried I will drop the series, please don't be! I am in this! Wayhaven is my love and my world. I will always give my everything to it!

Thank you so much for the ask! :)

[seraphinitegames]

Does A ever internally cringe thinking back to how hostile they were to the MC in the beginning? Not that I didn't love Ava back then too 🩷

Not really, no.

I think A regrets being as...asshole-ish, for sure, lol! But A also thinks that they should probably go back to how icy they were back then to keep that rift between them and the MC.

Instead, they're struggling to keep any kind of distance at all, especially in Book Four, and that's not gonna lead to good things...

Thank you so much for the ask! :)
