#ineffable bastards

I don't know if it came from the night But it's aiming for your heart I can see it in your eyes This desert's not a place you can stand You got to look to the stars And reach out your hands

Nothing can tame the winter's cold Or wash the beauty from a rose

I can't stop the world, no, no I can't stop the world, no, no, no But I promise that I'll be here for you I can't drown the flame, no, oh Take away the pain, no, no, no But I promise that I'll be here for you I'll be here for you Be here for you

Your future isn't lost in the fight Soaked in the blood Frozen in time No, I won't let that happen to you Just lay your head into my hands And let me carry you through

I can't stop the world, no, no I can't stop the world, no, no, no But I promise that I'll be here for you I can't drown the flame, no, oh Take away the pain, no, no, no But I promise that I'll be here for you Be here for you I'll be here for you Be here for you I promise that I'll be here for you

Nothing can tame the winter's cold Or wash the beauty from a rose Under the ashes, you'll find gold You're stronger than you even know

I'm really dithering over posting this. Dunno if anyone else is interesting in my GO x Discworld opus that I got burned out writing and am finally trying to get back to and finish but I'm putting it out there anyway.

BEING REVISED ∞ 9 July 2026 ∞ CHAPTER 27 UPDATED The world didn’t end, but everything changed, and the reformed angel and the former demon decide to forge a new path together after they break free, and neither hellfire nor holy water is going to stop them now.

They have their own side to look out for, and it's a lot bigger than just the two of them. Which is good because you can’t fight heaven and hell alone. (Well you can try, but…) Along the way they make an arrangement of mutual trust with some witches and wizards and end up saving the world, and each other, again.

welp, I feel vindicated. by all reports I'm not missing out on anything good by not watching GO S3. what a damn waste

honestly season 2 was pretty disappointing even with all the budget and time it was given so S3 had all the odds stacked against it.

maybe now I'll find the motivation for finishing ineffable bastards. I'm sad I didn't finish working on it but s2 and then all that really tainted it in my mind and the pandemic really did not help

The main thing I want to evoke is a sense of hope. Like yeah, times are tough and bad things happen, but so do good things and there is hope for a better future because we're going to make it so.

Ch 19 ∞ Consequences - revisions done!

Ugh that took so long. Blasted brainweasels got me really bad this month. But 19 is done! went from 4k ish words to 6.7k.

Every damn time I hit a point in the middle where everything is wrong and awful and ruined and I get to the verge of giving up...

Only to step back and let it sit and when I come back to it, I find the points I like, even love, and can admit that its actually pretty good. Then I finish and start the whole process over again 😂

On to Ch 20 ∞ Harriet The Spy
