This fucking chapter is 8k words. We just kept writing it and words kept happening!

But hey! New chapter of the chorus trilogy chatfic, 'laughter is a decent opioid,' written by @illusion-of-sea-axes and me! This time: betting pools and car chases! Enjoy!

Yo, so I was thinking, i wonder what it would be like if the Blood Gulch soldiers and the freelancers switched places, so to speak. Now, here's some ground rules I laid down for myself.

For the Blood Gulch set-up: Church and Doc, as well as VIC, have to be there. Church is still the Alpha, and Doc is still a medic, or rather, sent to recover the AI when supposedly, Church died. Not all 49 freelancers can be there. Impossible. It's the main bunch we all know and love, and maybe Iowa-Idaho-Ohio somewhere else. I want them in there, but can't bear to split up their amazing group cohesion. Most of the freelancers will be acting much more casual, and may even be very different to their tortured canon selves. I may also have to make up some names or nicknames. There will probably be a lot of color-based ones. Sorry.

For the Freelancer set-up: Texas, The Counselor, The Director, and the AIs, all of them belong here. There will be a lot less of them, though the 49 will still exist. They will have their own original agent names, and the AI appointing will be imo. I may write some scenes, I may just outline them.

Check out my Wattpad and get started. I can't believe it's almost finished 🥺
