A letter from the author:
I just wanted to take a moment to touch base with all of you and let you know what is going on in terms of Shifting Dreams. Due to circumstances beyond my control and some crummy personal health situations, I've been away from my writing and the internet at large for the past few weeks, but the story has not been abandoned. What I have decided to do is work on wrapping up the main story (which will top out around a considerable 200,000 words) in the span of seven more chapters. I have one already written, and have mentally mapped out six more that I think will leave our favorite boys in a very good place and serve as a fitting "conclusion" to this story. I say "conclusion" in quotation marks like that, because in addition to going back and adding prequels and extras, I will leave the story open to being able to come back and add new one-shots when real life events regarding Chris and Darren happen, and/or when a particular muse bites at me. This verse has no dead set end, it can continue to go on, change, and grow just like any love story worth its salt. Writing this story has been a wonderful experience for me, and I thank every single reader who has come along for the ride. The dream isn't over yet, friends. Stay tuned...
Love,
Desi
Hey all,
Long time no speak. Sorry about that. I’ve been struggling with some real life problems that have kept me away from Tumblr and my writing lately, but I plan to spend the weekend getting myself back on track. I just want to apologize to all of you and to my amazing betas for the delays and I am so grateful for your patience.
Now to look into my notes and figure out where the heck I was at. Oy.
just a random comment here; I love to look up pictures or videos of the guys at events when you mention them in SD, and I never really noticed before how hungover poor Darren was at the MTV music awards. Poor guy didn't take off his sunglasses on the red carpet! love the story, thanks for making this hiatus more bearable!
Partying it up til dawn at a gay bar, and then catching a flight with little to no sleep will do that to a guy. And you’re very welcome, Anon.
From someone who knows both the boys well if thought if congratulate u on shifting dreams You have nailed there characters Chris is quiet so so do smart witty guarded And darren is extremely vulnerable cheeky as hell and speaks before he thinks all the time but the gentlest sweetest person on the world he is an absolute flirt everybody loves him but he is always doubting himself which drives him crazy Bravo on the story
Okay…thank you?

To the Anon who asked: Yes, my avatar is in fact another manip by the always brilliant Heukii that she created for an upcoming chapter of Shifting Dreams.
As a fandom, we need all the drunk, slap-happy idiots in love we can get right now, and it’s too adorable not to share (even though my betas may kill me for doing so. Oops.)
SD is the only good thing to come out of this Godforsaken hiatus. I hope the boys have really had that kind of summer.
So do we, anon. Â Thanks so much for reading!
Pretty please give us fics about ALL the first times! Love SD, it is amazing!
I don't know about writing ALL the firsts as separate one-shots, but I promise to do my best to let you guys in on my odd little head canons. I'm sure my beta/muses get tired of having to listen to them lol.
I want to reply to a post you made asking non CC shippers why they're reading SD. I am NOT a CC shipper, but I LOVE CC fics. I see the RPF's as a work of fiction with Darren & Chris as characters. Sure, some things are true, some speculative & some false. But, by choosing to read them as if CC are characters, I enjoy incredible stories by talented people. People should be allowed to ship who they want without hate. But good writing is good writing & I'm not missing out because I don't ship CC.
You win for my favorite ask of the week. I wish all people could view things like you do. Thanks for the message, Anon.
Uh, please let the song be "One" - my favorite U2 song and the lyrics are pretty amazing and kind of appropriate for them.
It isn't "One", amazing song though. Nope it was something from the Joshua Tree album that popped up onto my playlist.

I would pay you for a one-shot of the first time the boys have sex. Like super hot but super sweet and lots of "you okay?" and everything is so confusing and FEEEELS. I love your writting so much
This ask just lead to a lengthy conversation about who first did what to whom and when via my head canons, between myself, Lynne, and Z lol. There were a few firsts those two experienced together, but I think I know what you’re wanting , Anon. Let my brain simmer on it and I’ll see what I can do.
I loved watching Darren on Celebrity Name Game today where he was introduced as "the beautiful Darren Criss." Can't wait to see if this shows up in your fic.
Haven’t seen the show yet, but you never know what I’ll throw in there. Thanks for the ask, sweetie.
Re: the teaser, why do they decide to go to Joshua Tree?
Mostly a spontaneous decision on Darren’s part (albeit partially inspired by him listening to a little U2) but honestly, it’s one of the most gorgeous places on Earth to watch the sun come up. Brownie to points to anyone who can guess what song!
I don't romantically ship Chris with Darren, but the way they keep such a huge space between them the moment the cameras stop rolling has always struck me as really strange. They are both super sweet guys, I can't see them just hating each other. Reading this, and I can't believe I just read and loved a RPF story, it makes me wonder if there wasn't some kind of relationship early on that has made things weird for them all this time. What I'm trying to say is I can see it. There is something...
Nah, pretty sure Chris and Darren don’t hate each other, Anon. There has definitely always been something. Thanks for reading!

For the Anon asking for a teaser concerning chapter 54: There is a confrontation that leads to the boys having a very serious (but needed) conversation about personal/professional boundaries, talk of childhood fears, and a long drive to see the sun come up at Joshua Tree State Park.
Coming this week!
Chris decorated his trailer in Grumpy Cat stuff...I can imagine Darren helping him find stuff for it, can't you? (wink wink) #blainesbowties
Darren makes the best pouty Grumpy Cat imitation face, too. I'm sure Chris has many photos on his phone of Darren doing just that face, that he pulls out and looks at with a tiny little giggle whenever one of them is away.
