Yes! I know people wanted. These are kinda unbeta'd and unedited and things, the proper one will go up on AO3 because people like the download anyway, it's just a nice little way for people to track it I guess, like subscribing to my tumblr or friending me or just tagging the 'atkm' tag.
Ooo, glorious? I can deal with glorious. Hehehe
The kinda hilarious (to me) thing is that on Monday I wrote very little and I was like 'oh god I write so slow!!!' even though objectively I know I write quite fast. Yesterday one of my friends said 'pookaseraph, if you were GRRM we would have the next ASOIAF now!' and then I felt a bit better. Erik is a horrible sulkypants. I love him.
And yeah, Kenneth was more just that moment where Charles would be 'oh, this isn't fun anymore' which is a revelation he needed.
BALLOONS! I really enjoyed making up the airship stuff. I'm a huge fan of steampunk aesthetics and actually my next fic will be along that vein. And yes! Everyone but Darwin (and Moira) I think it's his - crappy - way of dealing with his pining but it's not something unusual in the world, no. And no problem, I know the kinkmeme is hard to follow and this *will* be up on AO3 afterwards, possibly with a few bits of addition to smooth out and correct some issues that come from doing a WIP instead of finishing and then editing.
One, I love the entire inclusion of a "romanov-esque" plot line...just wonderful. Also, you manage to make Charles and Erik so amazingly passionate and lovely with such a subtle way. I'm already absolutely aching for them and can't wait to see what else you choose to do with this universe. Fantastic!
Thank you. It was a hoot to throw that in to the story. I must admit plot can be a touch easier when you're just borrowing from history. I'm glad it comes off that way. They really are just a lovely pair of idiots and I want them to obviously be in love and passioante. There will be probably about 3 (possibly 4) parts left! So hopefully you'll enjoy the rest and the conclusion!
I totally sort of giggled in a very pleased and embarrassed way! Thank you for the lovely compliments. I love trying to bring something new to a trope, but really it's just me sort of playing with the items of the trope that are most appealing to me so it's always a lot of fun to do. I think my whole style has a touch of briskness to it and lends it self to asking the reader to buy in without being too obtrusive. That's always my thought. I'm sometimes worried I don't bring enough to what I write, but then I'm the author and I'm going to judge myself a bit harshly regardless. Well, I do always write worldbuilding porn! (magic? eee. Thank you.)
This world more than any of my others really demanded fashion be important, the style and the setting and the gears were all much more instrumental than in my other works. I'm a horrible (visual) artist or else I would try to draw it, but really it would be a horrible puff of fabric or a horrid palm tree vista, hopefully everyone's minds up are up to the ask because my fingers certainly aren't
