Never before in the game can you fail-Crown your way through politics like in this chapter. I'm giving the player an option to absolutely implode their MC in this one regarding a particular choice, although in order to unlock this possibility, you have to have forgiven Bazo for missing your coronation in CH7 👀

*It's Chapter Three now, but only because I re-named the chapters, essentially what would've been called Chapter Four previously.

Chapter Twelve: Seattle, 2000

“—it was like I could feel the water meant me no harm. I stripped naked and just…let it cradle me. I could hear the voices of the people on the ships, so far away. When I went under the water and saw the light coming down, it was like…like discovering a whole different world.”

May The Silenced rest in peace. His presence was so much more meaningful than he knew. Sleep well.

Also surprise!!! Y’all get Post-Haircut Wada too

…

I wrote all that stuff up there and most of the tags before [REDACT 085].

For real now, rest in peace little guy. You will be mourned.

(Thick flowerbed I was unsure about)

Do you think you will ever check out Raincode? It's made by the same people who made DR but with a more focus on mystery. (It has the same vibes and stuff, I feel like you would like it a lot) another thing, the writing is so banger

Yes, I've already played Raincode!! Really enjoyed it, especially for the DR-like vibe and I actually made charms of the main cast:

I have sketches of Yomi and Yakou that I've been meaning to add to this set for ages but haven't been able to bring myself to refine them ;v; Makes me happy when people recognize the Raincode merch at cons tho! I'm really excited for Kodaka's new game too, I haven't played the demo yet!

Surprise Sketches of some OC’s I was working on for a fic I was writing. Again, not an artist but I think they turned out okay! :D (I think the tiny is going to be smaller but I’m physically incapable of drawing that small on my current canvas size)

Don’t worry, the big guy is gentle… even if sometimes he doesn’t realize things until after he’s done them. But aghhh. Tiny with a broken wing, forced to stay with someone hundreds of times bigger than himself until he’s healed up which could take months? Amazing. Chef’s kiss

I won’t reveal the names yet, but this one is an extreme size difference because I love it so much 🫶

Important Update Notes

Be aware of lengthy text: I've broken up the text as much as possible, but there's a lot to cover. Please be patient and enjoy the story!

Bug reports: If you find any bugs, please send them my way with a screenshot. I've fixed 99% of them, but I appreciate your help with the remaining 1%.

NSFW content: My editor doesn't support NSFW content, so those scenes may lack detail. I'll work on improving them soon.

Reread for changes: I've made significant changes, so please reread to appreciate the update.

Tone inconsistency: I apologize for the mix of modern and historical tones. My recent binge-watching of Bridgerton and Reign may have influenced my writing style.

Upcoming updates: Drabble updates and the prologue for Dangerous Games are coming soon!

Word count: This update is 35,000 words long, so take your time to enjoy it!

I've lost count of how many times I've lost motivation to continue writing my story. Whether it's struggling to immerse myself in the scenes I create or the fact that I haven't written much lately, I'm on a rocky journey to find my path as an aspiring author. Publishing this update required reminding myself that it's just a first draft - imperfect and open to improvement. While some may not like it, I'm focused on being content with my work. After a lifetime of being told that my dreams aren't achievable, it's natural to struggle with putting myself out there. I appreciate constructive criticism, but please be kind. 😊 I hope you enjoy this update as much as I enjoyed writing it.

Chapter 11 of En Garde is up on Ao3

Summary:

With the Foil competition just a day away, preparations were in full swing. The Diamond had been transformed, setting the stage for an opening ceremony that promised to be a grand spectacle. But beneath the excitement, there was apprehension, the Venatori were notorious for disrupting such grand events, their protests usually ending in violence, and in response, security measures were at their highest level. Amidst the chaos and stress of organizing such an event, Viago gives Lucanis the talk. And in the end, the Demon of Vyrantium and the White Rose finally put a name to what they were.

READ CHAPTER 11 HERE

Snippet:

"I was thinking perhaps you might like to have a meal in the sit in restaurant tonight." She smiles softly "Are you asking me on a date." He nods stepping closer "It's been a while." He purrs leaning down to kiss her.

She sighs sliding her hands up his chest as he tilts his head and deepens the kiss, he pulls back before they get carried away and looks at her. "The restaurant is formal dress only." She nods. "I have something I can wear." He glances around the room spotting a deep purple silk dress hanging in the wardrobe and smiles to himself wondering what she might look like in it. "I have a few more errands to run first, I shall book us a table." She smiles and leans up on her tip-toes to kiss his cheek.

He holds her in his arms reluctant to let her go, making her grin. "You won't finish those errands if you stay here." She teases and he pulls her closer. "I shall see you tonight." He kisses her deeply and then pulls away stepping back, he chuckles when she opens her eyes. "See you tonight." She smiles as he leaves her room.

She stares at the dress in the wardrobe and swallows thickly, was she brave enough to wear it, to have her scars on display, would seeing them put him off? It was something she feared whenever she had started a new relationship, as few as there had been before Lucanis, one had ghosted her once they had seen them.

She sat on the bed and shivered at the memories, the accident she barely remembered, only fragments but she remembered the looks she had got during her recovery, the pity in everyone's eyes as if she was more disfigured than she actually was, the scars were not even that bad, time and the fact she was so pale hid most of them, her back wasn't so bad, her hip and lower abdomen looked the worse but nowhere near as bad as when it had healed initially, the skin was raised and curled around her hip but it had faded alot.

She shook her head, Lucanis didnt strike her as shallow, he seemed to value connection before anything else, it had taken him time to even kiss her, Which was fine with her she wasn't interested in a fling, she wanted connection and she felt that with him, perhaps since the moment they met, there had just been something about him.

She would wear the dress, let him see that part of her and see what happened, she had a feeling he would surprise her, he always did. As soon as she thought she had him figured out he would do something unexpected.

All righty, the Chapter 8 Early Patreon Release for the Immortals Tier

[ectoimp]

Im curious how many others are like me and wont play Deltarune until its done.

I played chapter 1 when that was supposed to be a "demo" and the rest of the game was going going to be released all in one piece. Then chapter 2 came out alone, and I decided I wasnt going to touch it until its done.

Sucks cause its pretty impossible to avoid spoilers, but the upside is that since the Undertale fandom was good at hallucinating mysteries, that I can just assume most "spoilers" I see for Deltarune are just incorrect. I see youtube rec a video like "OMG GASTER IN DELTARUNE CH 2????" And I can very safely guess that Gaster isnt and wont be in Deltarune at all and so I probably havent actually been spoiled on ch2.
