i just started writing the two bits of genuine conflict. i'm really really happy with how it's going so far. the first four or five chapters are paced a little weird and they're a lot shorter than i expected but if they were longer the pacing would be worse. still expecting at least twenty or so chapters, i have the main conflict and the falling actions planned out. i just have to write them. time to love this au's awsten with my whole ass heart.
