threading_in_dreamsLinky link or, if you're sitting here wondering why it went from 25 to 27, that's because I forgot to post here, so here's the link to chapter 26.
Synopsis:
Diluc meets his captor. Lumine and Ajax find out more about the people that took him. It's not exactly what they expected.
(Someday I'll write enough of these that'll be good at them. That's not today, though today's synopsis is at least is concise.)
Remember what I said about softness in this chapter? Bold-faced lie, we got at least a couple more before that scene. Same thing with the whole "I'm close to the end." Not that I'm bitter with myself for it or anything (though I did manage to sneak some sweetness on chapter 26, you know, before the fighting).
About 20 days too late
The time between updates was thoroughly fucked by my sister's wedding last December and my own incapacity to think during too-hot high summer days. I'll do my best to write fast, but there are some specifically touchy points in this arcs plot that I can't write carelessly and I prefer to post later but not have to edit it afterwards.
Also, I do have an exchange fic to finish (already got 10k in that and it was supposed to be SIMPLE. I just don't know how to chill), but on the plus side that one is Genshin Impact as well, so if you like Masks you'll probably like it. I think. Unless you're only here for the gen vibes (that is one shippy fic I'm writing, it's got pining and kissing and everything).
The actual chapter
So, this chapter. Big setting up for the interesting things that are to come in the next two chapters. And you get to meet Daniel Lawrence and learn how much of an asshat he is. I hope you hate him! :) If you're wondering, he's supposed to be Eula's uncle, not father or anything like that. Damn I love coming up with villains.
I also enjoyed my little side-characters, the citizens of the fort. I challenged myself to give you readers as good a sense of the people that lived there and how they ended up there as I could in as little words as possible. I hope it worked. I also hope you felt the sharp contrast between the people and the rulers, as well as their situation and their hearts (not to forget Ajax' opinion and the reality.)
All in all, it was a fun chapter to write. And the next one will have some angsty fighting, which is the best kind of fighting.
