Sunday Snippet

It's really nice to look at my writing tracker spreadsheet and see my numbers finally start to creep back up again. December fell off a cliff and the second half didn't get put in the spreadsheet at all, January I wrote 14/31 days but extremely scattershot, and so far in February I've written on every day except one.

Anyway, I really like having a longfic to write at the moment. I like being in the middle of a project and can just keep writing without worrying too much about editing or whatever. (I do know the Jiajia series breaks on something of a cliffhanger, I'll get back to it eventually.)

So! More post-canon. Also if someone can tell me whether I am thinking of the wrong Chu twin I would greatly appreciate it, I *still* don't quite understand from the incredibly confusing flashback which bits are real.

Lao-Chu sighed heavily. "Lao-Zhao," he said, "Don't do this to yourself."

Zhao Yunlan pushed him out of the way and got up again. Then had to grab Lao-Chu's shoulder to keep himself steady. "I'm not — You need to believe me. This is real."

"So you want us to break into the palace and steal the Hallows," Lao-Chu said.

"Yes!" It was good that Lao-Chu had finally caught up. "Your twin worked at the palace when you were younger, didn't he? You must know ways in."

"You're extremely drunk," Lao-Chu said. "You do realise that, don't you."

Of course he did. That had been the point of drinking.
