I'll be out of town for two weeks. Much of it will be spent writing Versus (yay!) so online time may be sporadic. Texting is welcome, of course. Thank you for your attention.


Far more importantly, however, is the fact that it is July 20th, and we have two events to celebrate today.

muzivitch and I were talking and we've decided to take a break from posting Among the Trees in the hope that we can finish it. We've run out of buffer, you see, and we don't want to end up writing filler just to keep up with posting. We're going to finish it, so it gets finished, and our plan is to post the completed story in one (probably enormous) chunk on Sunday.

Don't worry; we are going to finish it. We swear on Adrian's morally-ambiguous purple glitter.

In the meantime, we've started a comm for our VeidtOwl fic at (I can't believe this wasn't already taken) veidtowl and will be editing and posting there, as well as archiving Among the Trees there when it's finished.

You guys are the best. Thank you. ♥

Title: Among the Trees
Chapter: 22

Author's note: Adrian and Dan come back to New York and discover that while they've been enjoying ideas of the future, someone else has been uprooting things from the past. And putting them on magazine covers.
Author's note 2: This isn't the last chapter, but I'm done with the XX/?? format. It'll be over when it's over and I doubt we'll have a chapter number before then.

Author's Note: In a past life, before Adrian Veidt ate my brain, I was a professional short-order cook, personal chef, and caterer. It's telling, how much this story wanted to be written, that the first part I had genuine, honest-to-god trouble with was remembering what it was like to not know how to cook breakfast. I blame you guys and your support. How dare you.
Author's Note 2: (You guys rock. Best fandom ever.)

 

 

Rating: PG-13 for swears. They're from Dan. Maybe that should make it R.

Author's Note: We love you guys. Finally, Archie makes an appearance in present-day!

Author's Note Part 2: This is the last chapter I'm posting everywhere under the sun. The rest of the chapters will be at

watchdom  and knownidentities . (Unless there is a ferocious uproar, then I will reconsider.) Feel free to friend me if you aren't on any of these and still want to see updates automatically, but if you're eagerly awaiting part 8 of a VeidtOwl fic, be honest with yourself and join knownidentities . They're good people. :o)

Author's Note Part 3: I'm sorry if anyone had a coronary event when they read "This is the last chapter..." Believe me, this is far from the last chapter.

 

 

Rating: NC-17
