TRAILER JUST DROPPED!!

In 2022, on my drive home after scratching from my second attempt at the Beargrease Marathon, I found myself thinking of all the months that went into preparing for the race, and all that happened along the trail that most people never see.

It was then I made a decision, I was going to come back and finish the Marathon and I was going to film and document the entire behind-the-scenes process. It was something I’d wanted to do for a long time, but this time I resolved to follow through. It’s been a wild ride but I’m so excited to be sharing this passion project very soon!

FULL FIC SYNOPSIS:

Between picking up the pieces in the wake of the Day Of Unity and its aftermath, reconnecting with Raine, helping King come to terms with his newfound identity and being there for Luz as she navigates a life split between the Boiling Isles and Connecticut, Eda Clawthorne has a lot on her plate.

Taking on another, seemingly-impossible project at this point, especially one that seems particularly ill-advised, is probably not the wisest decision. But then, Eda has never been one to take the easy path in life.

And she made a promise.

AKA - The one where Eda takes it upon herself to give The Collector a second chance, and faces the challenges that go along with it.

Canon-divergent after King's Tide.

Some good things. Spring peepers in the vernal pool near my house.

If I had a nickel for every time I geeked out over a song and listened to it a bunch of times and in the middle of all that realized “OH it’s a waltz!” I’d have like eight hundred nickels.

Lukewarm take but is it really “rescue” if the animals in question are being purchased and thus financially supporting the facility said “rescue” groups have been condemning????

(I mean, so-called rescue groups have been buying dogs from pet dog “puppy mills” and then adopting them out as “rescues” for years, so it shouldn’t be surprising that a laboratory breeding facility suddenly realizes they have a really lucrative side gig on their hands).

Do you ever think about how Barry died to Lup's relic. Do you think the flames felt familiar? And that Despite his fear there was a sense of safety to them?
