Is there any interest if I do a GA for this #expedition33 jacket?

I ended up with 2 because I wasn’t too sure about the sizing. The one I’d be giving away is size XL (like 60cm chest width - laid flat).

Heya,

I don't normally share my writing progress / behind-the-scene before the fic is completed but I just wanted to drop in with a quick life update.

First of all, I'm sorry I missed the June 10th deadline for this fic!

Variables Yet to Align is absolutely still happening. I’m committed to finishing it, and I know exactly where this story is going. It’s just taking far longer than I hoped.

The past couple of months I’ve had to pick up a second full-time job on top of the one I already had, which means I’m pulling roughly 14–16 hour days most of the time. That doesn’t leave much room for writing, even though the fic is still very much alive in my head (and in Scrivener!).

Right now I’m deep in a massive chapter from Real Verso’s POV — it’s already over 27k words (and still growing sfhsfhs) and I’m about halfway through Chapter 13. The world-building I’ve been doing for the last six months (timelines, Paris backstory, canvas lore, etc) has made the story richer than I ever imagined, and I can’t wait to share the rest with you.

To those of you who have bookmarked, subscribed, left kudos, or commented... thank you. Seriously. They mean more than you know while I’m juggling everything.

Hang in there with me a lil longer pls <3

Meanwhile here is a lovely Verstave art for the upcoming Verso's chapter done by @j-likes-to-draw! You can give her all the praises here.

Clea Dessendre extends a most peculiar invitation to step between the space where light and dark meets.

Lune and Sciel are not merely figures in a painting. They are the living proof that art could bleed into something more. Something that breathes, questions, and perhaps… hopes. The world outside grows thin at the edges. Here, within the canvas, every paint remembers its name. Every shadow has a story. And every soul who dares to cross the threshold… becomes part of the masterpiece.

Will you take the step? Will you let the Paintress welcome you home?
