alrighty, here's a grand old spoilery post on my thoughts.

title courtesy of cat. reading through part i of S11 au is making me realize how much fluff is in here. not the trope, Fluff™ (though... yeah, gotta have some of that), but the "inserting formless content" kind. the lovely kind on aurash's big ol' fluffy belly that she's shedding everywhere.

there's a word for this, i just can't remember what it is right now. (stares into half-empty cup of coffee, waiting for answers to manifest alongside awakeness.) but! a more cohesive series of thoughts on part 2 of S11 au now that i'm done.
I'M DONE!! THAT'S IT! PART 2 OF S11 AU IS READY FOR A MOUNTAINLOAD OF REVISIONS AND I COULD NOT POSSIBLY BE MORE EXCITED ABOUT IT!!!!!
it only took NEARLY THREE GODDAMN YEARS but it's done! the second part of this thing is fucking done!
currently clocking in at 21,881 words (of 62,316 total), and doubtless that number will go up and i pick through and edit things. i'm not currently capable of thinking any more deeply than DONE! DONE! DONE! DONE! DONE! DONE! DONE! so i'll write up something more later, probably. i'm done with this part. i'm done. i'm done!
i don't take constructive criticism on my bad puns, thanks.
anyways! a probably-long-overdue post on chorus canon, halo canon, and S11 canon. i mean au.

the title of this post is probably slightly in error because all i want to talk about is S13. firstly, just to get it out there: S13 is probably the single best season of this show. it gives S6 a serious run for its money in my books. 13 is such a phenomenal season all around, and honestly the only major blemishes on its record, for me, are more personal than objective.
( but even with that, it's absolutely excellent all around. )
17,017 words for this chunk of S11 au! yeehaw. yet again i find myself not reaching for the bits and pieces i've already got written, but, eh. whatever. what i've been thinking about lately has been characterization, and doing a particular character justice, so that's what this word dump will be about.

yet again! i find myself in that situation where i have something written for a particular scene and yet! again! i get in the swing of writing it and use none of what i've already written. this isn't necessarily a complaint, but like, what phenomenon is this? how come my brain does this? left brain knoweth not something something?
anyways, this just about wraps up a Very Important Scene that i'm glad is finally done. i'm also glad that i ended up re-writing through what little i'd had planned for it, because i like it a lot better this way. i just have a connector segment of travel to write, then an Event i have partially written, and then this big chunk will be more or less ready to post. which is a wack thought, but again, i'm so happy i've gone back to writing this and it feels so good and i'm excited to share it. onwards, upwards, etc.
i went through my old chorus trilogy liveblog tags just now and WOW. there are so many weird former parts of S11 au i alluded to that i... have zero memory of. why the FUCK didn't i actually plan more back in 2014/15. (j/k, i know why.) the rvb12 tag in particular was a wild ride because half of it was me thinking "wh?? i thought this was the plan from the beginning???" and the other half was "well what the FUCK had i been planning to do instead????" and for the sake of posterity, i really wish i still had those old notes.
( case in point! )
things converge in really funny ways sometimes. the announcement of MCC coming to PC this year plus thinking about S11 au a lot in general a) had me writing S11 au regularly this week and b) about to do an rvb6 rewatch upon finishing up this post. wild. insert something deep about nostalgia here, i guess.
i've also had weeding on the brain thanks to work; not sure how common a term this is, but weeding is the fancy Library Word for getting rid of items that are in poor condition and/or aren't circulating well (which is very ymmv). some things circ well at Location A but are functionally DOA at Location B; some things look trashed after 5 circs, some things are pristine after 20 circs, so on and so forth.
in which i actually. remember that.
anyways! i've been meaning to update sbsbs for some time now, but i'm stuck in the one spot that i have the least notes for. funny how that works. i'm planning on updating with three chapters in one go, which were originally supposed to be i think two rather than three? but a) i don't like throwing out one <1000 word chapter at a time, b) these three all fit together, more or less, and c) there is a Certain Plot Point that keeps zooming out of my reach every time i think "alright it's time" and my god, it's fucking time already. [redacted] is going to [redacted] and that's that. and once that's wrapped up, i can move properly into the last stage of this fic. and then i can get back to S11 au.

S11 au headcanon masterpost! plus some worldbuilding/inspo stuff so essentially this is a glorified A/N
first off, huge shoutout to @anneapocalypse for putting together the halo/rvb merged timeline, which is really neat and EXTREMELY helpful!
i’m going to start off with the “how i got halo canon and rvb canon to work together” headcanons — halo is super, super important to me and i honestly cannot separate it from rvb no matter how hard i try, so a lot of S11 au has been herding cats, except it’s been more like trying to fit 50 screaming, clawing cats into a paper bag.
