(An sneak peak excerpt from The Princess Diaries: KEEP OUT! Chapter 10)

New York, NY — Love and the limelight often share a stage in New York City, and the city's young power couple, Mia Thermopolis, Princess of Genovia, and J.P. Reynolds Abernathy IV, was no exception. Their high school romance had all the makings of a fairy-tale love story, but it seems that the script took an unexpected turn with rumors of them getting engaged at Princess Mia’s 18th birthday party on Monday, May 1.
At the tender age of 18, Mia and J.P., the son of New York's renowned theater producer John Paul Reynolds Abernathy III, embarked on a whirlwind two-year journey through high school. Their recent appearance at Albert Einstein High School prom, with Princess Mia sporting a diamond ring, were crowned king and queen solidifying their status as the 'it' couple of their high school graduating class.
However, the storybook ending everyone anticipated took an unforeseen twist. Recent reports around J.P. and Mia’s engagement have slowly dissipated with sources clarifying it to have just been a promposal. Moreover a week after prom and graduation, Mia and J.P. have decided to call it quits. The reason behind this sudden breakup remains a closely guarded secret, but it is not uncommon to see high school sweethearts split from the pressures of transitioning into adulthood.
Although, as one love story ends, another intriguing chapter unfolds with the return of a familiar face. Michael Moscovitz, 21, the former flame of Princess Mia Thermopolis preceding her romance with J.P., has resurfaced in the city after two years in Japan. But he's not just here for the skyline views and New York pizza; he's back with a bang.
In an astonishing turn of events, Michael has founded his own company, Pavlov Surgical, and unveiled an innovative medical marvel known as the CardioArm, donating one to his alma mater, Columbia University, last week, gaining an honorary master’s degree along with it. This revolutionary technology is so in-demand that it boasts a waitlist stretching longer than a Broadway line and a price tag that reads a whopping million dollars.
The city can't help but wonder whether Michael's return will reignite his past romance with Princess Mia. Their previous love story had ended abruptly, same as any couple trying to navigate a long distance relationship, but with Michael's resurgence into the spotlight, could the spark be rekindled?
In the world of gossip and speculation, one can't help but wonder whether Princess Mia Thermopolis has been captivated by Michael's newfound success and wealth and if this had anything to do with her recent split. After all, there’s been whispers that the Princess of Genovia is now on a fixed income, when she unearthed an age-old document over a year ago, bringing democracy to her country. Will this momentous turn of events serve as the ultimate test for the true motives of these once-adoring partners? Until then, the cream of New York City society will be avidly watching as this new chapter in their tale continues to unravel.
Stay tuned for all the exclusive updates, only in the New York Post!

TEEHEE *throws random chapter 10 preview snippets and runs*
(The first two snippets are from the first half of the chapter, the third from the other. Chapter 10 is pretty much two chapters in one, where the second half follows right after chapter 9. Oh and yes, it's a Kyle POV chapter, yayayayy.)

I liked doing this last week, but it will get kinda repetitive in the coming weeks. So I'm not sure if I'll do it often while I'm posting the modern/band AU, but oh well!
It's another Saturday morning in a blanket with new music. Truly all I could ever need to write.
Here's what I've been working on...
Modern/band AU is fit and ready to start posting this upcoming week. Chapter [redacted] is complete, and I'm now far enough ahead that even a few weeks of busy life won't stop a regular posting schedule. And if I keep up writing then I'll be able to post around Xmas without needing a break!
Chapter [redacted+1] has an opening sentence, which is often the hardest part.
The outline for the AU has been modified a little. Combined three chapters into one, split out another chapter into two. Probably lots of consolidation to be done otherwise. There's a weird bit in the outline that's kinda fuzzy, but I'm sure I'll knuckle my way through it since it's not thematically deep. Might even be another chapter consolidation. This fic is definitely going to be longer than the 40k I was hoping it would top out at...
Editing the previous chapters has been a fun exercise in trimming the fat! I still want there to be scenes that are just ~vibes~ but I axed 1k words and the whole thing is cleaner for it.
More Minthara/Lae'zel is in the works, but it's mostly only the skeleton of an idea as I've had to rework it multiple times. I've a little under 1k actually written, and I'm not too convinced of what it is at the moment either. Quite frustrating.
Another seedling of an idea for non-smutty Asheera/Shadowheart fics. But it's really just "Shadowheart meets Asheera's parents" and boy I'm not ready for the mixed emotions Shadowheart's going to feel in that one. You know it's not just going to be fluff.
The Gauntlet/Nightsong segment for my core Shadowheart/Asheera series has a skeleton of an outline now. The POVs have been picked, the core beats are there, and I know it's going to hurt like a motherfucker to write some of this.

Would you ever consider writing a one-shot (maybe for the 1 year anniversary?) with what would have happened had reg made it out alive (I would cry)
hi!
i don't know if i'm going to put out anything for the one year anniversary of art heist but if i did it wouldn't be a regulus-living-situation sorry!
any situation that comes out of art heist where regulus lives is an alternate ending to me. and regulus living was just,,, never the story i wanted to write.
and tbh my fear is a lot of people would read that ending and say "this is the ending we deserved" or "this is how it should've gone" or "i'm pretending this was the original ending" and none of those things feel super great i can't lie! and i feel like it detracts from the original intent of the story i wrote which makes me :((( yk? (maybe you don't know and that's okay) but regulus was always supposed to die! he was never meant to make it out alive in this story so as far as any writing from me goes in the ahb! universe,, regulus will be dead
