idk how you all write fanfics but what I do is that I map out what happens throughout the fic, but I bounce around between section to fully write it out.

It works for me, personally, but I'm often left in a funny predicament where I need to write one last section, but it's in the middle of the fic.

Extra number 5 for my A Matter of Time series, A Matter of Happiness, is currently in the works, and here is the current working summary!

This time, we're going to be mostly in A-Yuan's POV as he navigates this new world, the strangeness he had always felt, as well as the sudden announcement that gasp his Baba is expecting!

Expect it within two weeks maybe?

After this, there will be one more worldbuilding extra before we finally go to the Official Sequel to A Matter of Time.

This series got so big so fast idek thank you to everyone that continues to read and reread the series bless you huhuhu

Rereading A Matter of Time makes me a little sad;) not because of barris but because he ends up being a housewife(my hc is he becomes a clockmaker after leaving Downton). In the film, Mary runs the abbey on her own and Edith is returning to the magazine. They are no longer emotionally and financially dependent on their husbands. This contrast seems really cruel to me;)

I was very pleased about Edith too. Having watched her struggle to find her place and her sense of self for so long, it's nice to think she's going back to the magazine and writing and something that's hers and hers alone. I adore her and Bertie but Edith having a career of her own was v important to me.

If it helps at all, you are fully welcome to my version of what happens to A Matter of Time Thomas after the end of the fic. Mr Perkins is looking to retire and wants to hand over the clock shop to Thomas, having developed a grudging respect for him and his skills. Thomas is hesitant to take it on at first because it would be such a big change and his past attempt at a business venture was so disastrous, but Baxter and Richard help him realise he has all the skills he needs to make a go of it. So he explains it all to Mary and quits and then sets about making a new life for himself and clearing out the workshop, and when the sign with his name on goes up above the door, for the first time, he feels like he actually has a place of his own in the world. He spends his days repairing clocks and teaching Oliver and being the mentor he always wished he had. And in his spare time, he starts making watches from scratch. He makes one for Baxter as a wedding gift and one for Richard for Christmas one year.

Originally the fic was called The Escapement Mechanism and the entire idea germinated from the question 'what if Thomas fixed himself while fixing a clock that reminded him of his past?' The escapement mechanism is the bit that turns the energy that powers the clock into the movement of the hands, so if your escapement mechanism is broken, your clock is essentially frozen in time; it was always a fic about what the mechanism for escaping your past is and how you move forward after a period of stasis. There was actually an epilogue planned for the fic that delved a bit further into the idea of what escape might mean for Thomas. As is, essentially the fic ends at the point the mechanism is freed not at the resolution of Thomas's story, the same way that fixing Mrs Ellis's clock takes a while to make her happy and fixing the clock in Perkins's shop won't pay off until George is older, Thomas's true contentment will take a while to arrive (and is intrinsically linked to the rippling effects of his work on all the clocks he encounters). I ended up scrapping the epilogue because I couldn't make it work without adding another 10k+, but I did write a tiny bit of it:

The general gist is that on his last night at Downton, Thomas is cleaning out his room and finds a scrap of the letter to himself that he burnt buried between the floorboards. He takes it with him as a reminder of how far he's come. And a year or more later, when he's making the final, finishing touches to the watch for Richard, it's snowing and he's let Oliver go early and he's alone in the shop, turning the watch over in his hands.

On a whim, he folds the paper fragment up and tucks it into the back of the watch. Hidden, like a secret.

One day he might take it out and show it to Richard, tell him how it got there, how this is all that survived his purging of the past. 

Or he might not.

For now, it’s enough to know Richard will have a piece of Thomas and the things that made him who he is on him all the time. 

He’s not sure yet if he’ll tell Richard he made the watch himself. It feels like a confession, laying bare all the nights he sat and worked on it, fingers stiff and red with cold, all the swearing and sighing, frustration and failure, trial and error more error than trial. He's not sure he's ready to engrave the feeling on himself, the one that accompanies the knowledge that he creates now, doesn't just repair what others have broken.

But he knows what he’ll write in the note that he’ll leave in the box under the Christmas tree in his flat above the shop:

R—

Time for time.

Time given. 

Time taken.

For all the time, for all time.

Yours,

T x

I’ve rewatched “A Matter of Time” (Star Trek: The Next Generation, season 5, episode 9). It’s a pretty interesting episode about time travel, however, Enterprise crew aren’t the ones travelling. A historian arrives at the ship claiming to be from a few centuries in the future. He says that he came to study the ship and the people. He asks a lot of questions, reasons about different ways of understanding history and wants everybody to write down the main inventions of the few past centuries. Picard believes him, but doesn’t like him, Troi doesn’t trust him and Crusher even almost has an affair with him. At the same time Enterprise tries to solve some natural disaster on a planet, they can’t do it that easily and at some point face a very difficult choice with thousands of lives at stake. (Spoilers!) Picard asks the historian to help them – to violate his variant of time Prime Directive, but he declines. Then, when the solution is already found, it, of course, it turns out that he’s not from the future, but on contrary from the past and came to get the knowledge about the inventions. Well, not only knowledge but he also simply stole a lot of stuff. Fortunately, Data finds that out before the pseudo-historian has departed.
