IT LIIIIIVES

Chapter 10 of "In The Land of the Dead" is posted! See it on FF.net, on AO3, or on my website. Contains Alice-themed reminiscing, Arthur being a book dork, and awkward love confessions. And yes, Gigs, both Scraps and your favorite line are in there too. :P

Not much else to say about the day, unless you're fascinated by the process of entering checks into batch at work. Which I am reasonably certain you are not. So I'm gonna go ahead and head to bed. Half day Friday up ahead, yaaaay~ Night!

Yay!!

Actually my other favorite line - though I can't remember where it took place or even if it's still in the rewrite at this point - is Lizzie going like "Oh, you're going to scold your twenty-something-year-old sister?"

I've been working on the fair fic. I've added a bit to the first chapter and gotten the second done-ish and started the third. I'm not going to the barn this weekend due to my sunburned feet, so I'll try to get something up for you before Monday.

Hehe~

O.o I -- think that's probably in the "going Upstairs" chapter? I dunno, it's not immediately familiar. If I come across it I'll try to preserve it. Or at least give it a spiritual successor. *nods*

Yay, good for you! :) And yeah, I suspect doing horsey things would kill your poor feet. :( I hope they feel better soon!

Yep, it's in the next chapter.

She stumbled as her foot caught a loose board. "These bloody docks!" she snapped, stomping it down to relieve her feelings. "Nothing but a maze of filth and disease. We should have stayed on Leather Lane. No milliner anymore, perhaps, but it at least would have been cleaner!" She glared at a nearby smelt lying on the ground. "If by some miracle we do stumble across Alice here, I'm going to give her a lecture on appropriate places to explore – "

Oh, you're going to scold your twenty-year-old sister?

Lizzie stopped dead in her tracks as that thought hit her upside the head. Good God – that's right, isn't it? Eight when the rest of us died, then twelve years tacked on. . .and it's definitely past her birthday now. I. . .oh my. I – I guess I knew it before now, but it never really registered. . . . She wiped at her eyes, blinking back sudden tears. All those years of threatening me with being the older sister one day, and now –

Ahhh, okay! Well, we'll see what happens -- I suspect the context is going to change, but I'm pretty certain I can save the line itself. Plus the bit about Alice threatening her with being the older sister. Won't be for a while yet, though, as the next chapter is going to be chapter thirteen now. ^^; New stuff, remember?
