#withandwithout

So this chapter got delayed by a bunch of stuff, not the least of which being us moving to a new house. We’re STILL trying to unpack stuff lol

That and my writing muse has been fickle these past weeks, and I’ve been focusing more on my art instead to try and keep myself from burning out. But I hope that this chapter was worth the wait, and that it’s worthwhile to read, and that you all like it. Feel free to message me or send me asks with feelings and thoughts and comments you have from this (or any other) chapter!

Chapter 56 of With and Without

Read it here on AO3!

Two years after the fall of the barrier separating the Underground from the surface world, monsters have struggled to find their place within society. With racism and backwards politics running rampant, fairness isn’t exactly a commonplace thing if you’re anything but human. Still, many monsters, and humans, retain HOPE, and DETERMINATION to make a difference. Leannán O’Brennike, like many humans, just wish for monsters to have the same rights that everyone else does. But being a bigger girl and receiving backlash for her beliefs in equality has left her quieter, not wanting to do much in terms of acting out that gains attention.

But ‘kindness can make all the difference,’ so she chooses to do what she can by showing kindness and treating everyone like the person they are. In her hope to make a change, she winds up changing the tune of a certain cynical skeleton, as well.

With what feels like the world against them, this group of friends that’s more like family has to try and figure out where the true threat lies…
