A real kicker for Pre-Uprising and Newmann drifting apart for me is always just-neither of them really know how to express their feelings for a variety of reasons  so when Newt leaves Hermann just sorta Expects It. He’s like Well, that’s-that’s just how it’s supposed to be for me. Part of him his relieved because his brain expects Unloveable as it’s core code (I.e. his father, classmates, any early attempts at love, etc…) and he probably goes back to his job with an almost unhinged passion because By Jove, I was right, I was right this time too. This is all there is for me. This is all there ever was supposed to be. And he can’t stop the nagging feeling (because he already worries too much and knows Newt would hate it if he knew how much he worried so he doesn’t go after him) that maybe Newt isn’t just going off and being reckless, but actually in trouble before it’s too late.

The Limits of Reason – Chapter 9

“That’s just love, Newt,” said Illia. “It’s always a choice, even if it doesn’t feel like it.”

If love was a choice, then Hermann supposed he would always choose Newt: through sorrow, through anger, through the difficult times as well as the simple. It did not feel like a choice stealing Newt from the custody of the PPDC and helping him fight his monsters, but Hermann supposed it must have been. A series of choices all along, through each door, through every moment he had spent in the Drift. He had chosen Newt each time. He would choose Newt until the very end.

Chapter nine: A lizard, a long-overdue confession, an act of courage. The chapter that puts the burn in slow burn and the slash in Newt/Hermann. Hope you all enjoy! This was one of my absolute favorite chapters to write 😀

Chapter one

“The singer prances about as he launches right into another song. Despite himself, Hermann nods along to the tune, smiling. The singer makes eye contact with him and breaks into a huge grin, throwing Hermann an approving nod before leaning back into the mic. He is struck by the sudden urge to get up on stage and join in; to cheer like a teenager at a pop show or perhaps buy the man a drink. The rest of the evening suddenly seems like a new opportunity rather than a burden.”

“Well there’s nothing to lose
And there’s nothing to prove
I’ll be dancing with myself-”

THEY. INVENTED. IT. 

what’s your process for revision when it comes to posting? do you revise and repost after you’ve posted all of a fic or just read over before you post?

My revision process changes based on how much work went into the piece. If it’s a minor piece, like a drabble prompt, I tend to read it over once before I post and usually a bunch of times after I post because suddenly I can see everything I missed lol. 

For REALLY big projects like “Prayers to Broken Stone” and “The Only Way Out is Down” I have two whole drafts. I write one draft to about the 95% mark, because I like to leave a little unwritten in the final chapter to fill in with anything the reader feedback makes me aware of, like fanservice stuff or plotlines I might have not realized were important to the readers. Then I often re-transcribe those chapters which tends to make them a little more polished. I also will have multiple beta readers if possible for those works. 

In the middle I tend to get some people to glance over a chapter or a work if they have the time, and I read a bunch of times over myself before and immediately after posting it. I have ADHD so I can read something over a BUNCH of times and simply not “see” missing words and errors. Sometimes I’ll revisit works from literally years ago and tweak a typo here and there, to the point where I don’t even bother to re-read my old fics if I’m not in edit mode lol because I inevitably find SOMETHING to fix.

愛し方さえも 君の匂いがした

Even the way I love has started to have traces of you

歩き方さえも その笑い声がした

Even the way I way, had the sound of your laughter

いつか消えてなくなる 君のすべてを

Everything about you that will someday fade and disappear

この眼に焼き付けておくことは

I will burn it all into my eyes

もう権利なんかじゃない 義務だと思うんだ

I don’t think it is my right to do so, but I feel that it is my duty

運命だとか未来とかって 言葉がどれだけ手を

We are falling in love in a place that is so far away that…

伸ばそうと届かない 場所で僕ら恋をする

No matter how much they reach, things like ‘fate’ or ‘future’ will not touch us
