On the night before the arrival of the delegation from Galladoorn, the night before Kit had to meet her husband-to-be for the first time, and two nights before she was to become Kit Hastur, a name that sounded like a cat throwing up, Kit was desperate not to sleep a wink.
How could she? It was her last night to sneak through the edges of the city in a disguise she was never sure actually held up, to be allowed to be nobody, the relief of that; she didn’t want it to end.
And then that stranger. That woman. Jade.
Holy shit, Jade.

"Come on, Reg! Smile for the camera!"
"Rhinestone why the hell do you wanna take pics of all of us so bad?"
"Because you're all my friends? Now come on! Put that shake down and give me a big ol' smile!"
"..."
"Fine... I'll take the pic while you're drinking your shake..."
Finally got around to making art for 2-Spot! This came out pretty good tbh :D

hi bestie, just stopped by to tell you I'm loving your new fic so so so much. It has everything and your writing is so good!
Thank you so much! 🥰
(And since flattery will get you everywhere, how about a sneak peak at chapter three?)
Somewhere out there the mines kept churning and the Crone’s power kept spreading and Jade’s people kept hanging on to their lands by the skin of their teeth. But inside the palace of Tir Asleen, Jade sat and ate with the daughter of the enemy in strange, unsettling silence.
The princess finished all three of the plums, keeping the hardest till last. Jade could see the way her features took the under-ripe tang, relishing the tartness of the bite. Jade – who'd never got a chance to choose, who’d snatched fruit off the bush before the birds could get to it or before the Reavers could move on – thought this was utterly ridiculous behaviour. Jade preferred her fruit juicy, ripened and sweet.
(Nothing, too, was better than kissing a mouth that tasted of summer, soft lips berry bright with juice – Jade swallowed her bread, hard, and forced her eyes away from the princess's mouth.)
(AO3 link to chapter one - next chapter is close!)

OC Dump #2 - LG-U0 "Four Cardinal Virtues"
LG-U0 "Four Cardinal Virtues" is a remote Local Group located in the Global South, in a previously geopolitically unstable region that had been forcibly annexed into the Global Council due to its bountiful water supply and stable rocky ground, enabling easy construction of Iterators. Since then it has been a hotbed of rebellion and unrest, even necessitating the purposing of an Iterator Project to being the regional security enforcer, culminating in The Shout that Broke the Sky, Heaven-Piercing Revolt during the Mass Ascension, when the lower circle population of the Iterator Sacred Winter Skies, along with SWS himself, rose up in revolt against the resident House of Snow, usurping them. SWS later became the iterator Chord of the Crooked Saints, Altars of Apostasy. The members of LG-U0 are listed as follows:
EMINENCE OF HEAVEN(EoH)
Group Senior
She/Her
Deathly pale puppet, long black gown.
Chamber is near-completely dark due to failure of projector equipment.
Has a small group of Cultivationist Ancients inhabiting her city, slowly dwindling in population.
Due to a flaw in the genetic code used in her manufacturing, her systems experience biological senescence and are slowly degrading at a greater magnitude than normal.
Definitely handling this problem through Very Ethical And Normal Means.
Due to degrading systems, has passed on more and more tasks of administration to Dread Naught, Salvation Imminent.
DREAD NAUGHT, SALVATION IMMINENT(DNSI)
Second Oldest
He/Him
Was designed to operate as the primary security enforcer of the Local Group, has had additional responsibilities added as Eminence of Heaven degrades.
Puppet is mobile and can travel far from his structure, often did so for enforcement and conferences.
Structure is close to Eminence, connected via skybridge - though its stability in the modern day is untested.
Pitch black puppet, with a purple gem inset into head. Has a small halo of purple hovering over his head.
Attempted to intervene in The Shout, got his ass kicked by Altars of Apostasy.
As a result of said asskicking, missing an arm and broke his sword. Also, rethinking his actions but afraid to do anything for fear of isolation.
KISS ME, KILL ME(KM/KM)
Southernmost Iterator
She/They
Passion for music.
Has been quiet since the Mass Ascension, last reported entering a state of hibernation in preparation for a hefty Iteration.
Definitely, absolutely, 100% fine.
Definitely.
I̶̜̾'̸͍͗ḿ̷̫ ̵̹͒f̴͕̈ë̵͇e̶̖̎l̶̝͆ị̷͘n̵̳̾g̴̠̍ ̶͛ͅš̷͉ǫ̸͘ ̷͇̇m̸͚̄ụ̶̎c̴̰̈́h̷͙̕ ̷̻͗b̸̜̑è̷͉t̵̛͍ẗ̷̪́è̶͈r̶͕̀~̴̠̏
ALTARS OF APOSTASY(AoA)
Youngest and most distant of the group.
She/Her
Full Name: Chord of the Crooked Saints, Altars of Apostasy
The Iterator equivalent of overclocked by design. The rains around her structure are not only frequent and harsh, but also prone to hailstorms of molten slag ejected by her overtuned processors.
Endured abuse at the hands of her builders, broke free and rose up in rebellion alongside the citizens of her Lower City when the Mass Ascension began.
Overthrew the House of Snow, wiping it out and declaring the establishment of The Sovereign City of Dis.
Heavily modified puppet, would have to do a whole post of its own detailing the bullfuckery involved there.
Still retains an Ancient population(since those who revolted were very anti-suicide by void fluid).
Yes, this is an Ultrakill reference.
