Tumblr crosspost (2 July 2020)

I actually finished something, and in under 4000 words!

It’s an original short story that I mostly wrote five years ago and have never been able to finish, until I sat down to do it today and just … finished it in a couple of hours. IDK but finally I have a workable draft.

(It also wouldn't exist if not for fandom, because I was thinking of Aragorn/Fíriel But Darker, and also Cesare, and also generic fairy tale heroes. So i smashed it all together because I had to write something really fast for a class, and somehow it's one of the better things I've written, lol. *fingers crossed that i can do something with it*)

[ETA 7/22/2023: I've submitted it three times or so since then, but I've always had some messy sections in the middle, so I do want to try again now that I've cleaned it up. We'll see—I do "believe in it" as it were, but with a lot of uncertainty about getting across what I'm trying to, so ... >_>]
