A writer's ramble
I might be going crazy. I'm currently between 5 open tabs with my WIPs and I HONESTLY WONDER HOW DID I GET HERE?
A friend suggested I continue on some other of my fics as 'Eunuch Besties' is my multi-chapter and sometimes makes me feel art-blocked. And I followed her advice today, happily sitting at my desk with my iced latte and digging into my half paragraph of 'Not quite prejudice, not quite pride' to now have three pages in front of me. As far as I've thought, this fic will also be a multi-chapter, as I want to get into Greg's mind (Yeah, I'm not dropping my dear Succession EVER) for a different take on the canon. Here, I basically play with the idea of Greg being obsessed with Mr. Darcy from P&P to then place him right there in Succession S1E01 where he meets the 'real life' version of him. But it's just not him, and nobody but Greg can see the resemblance. I love the idea of Greg ridiculously in love with Mr. Darcy, who has Tom's face but it's not AT ALL the same person. Hehehe, I feel this will give me headaches as well as fun times.
But as the rebel that I am, I also opened my other wips: the Loki one which I don't really know where it's going beyond answering this question: 'What if Loki had accepted that beer?' from Don on season 2. Here I wonder a lot about what would have happened and also, I want to put Loki between Don's kids and see what happens. I still have no idea if this will be a one-shot o a multi-chapter fic. Again, it's just a WIP.
And while checking on those two, another really fucked up idea came to me: what if Roman had sucked Greg off when they were younger? Would he remember that? Would he do it again now that Greg is into the family business? Would he deny it? Would Greg want it to happen again? Who knows. Wait. Me. Hehe. So I began typing on this, clearly absorbed by the unanswered questions I gave myself.
Finally, checking those tabs I found my untitled True Detective WIP where I want to give a twist on that scene between Rust and Marty in their lockers, hands-on with each other ready to beat themselves up but not quite doing it.
And now, taking a break from them all, I vent here as I am allowed to do while crossing fingers I get to work more on any of those ideas above.

Aquaplus has announced Utawarerumono spin-off visual novel Gizoku Tantei Nosuri (Chivalrous Thief Detective Nosuri) for PlayStation 4 and Switch. It will launch as a digital-only title on December 22 in Japan for 4,180 yen.
Here is the official story synopsis:
It was a trivial matter that started it.
Haku is living a busy life in the imperial capital of the great nation Yamato. Peaceful times seemed like they would last forever.
However…
Among the reliable friends that surrounded him, one sensed something strange.
With clear wisdom and a discerning eye, and bold and delicate reasoning and judgment, a “good woman” who possesses the qualities of a “great” detective speaks.
If someone in the east is suffering, she will be there to lend a hand. If someone in the west is troubled, she will save them. A chivalrous thief is sensitive to the signs of those in need.
—It is from here that the curtains rise on the great Nosuri theater. It is she who will bring to light the true identity of the great evil that undermines the imperial capital.
Haku: “What, I gotta get involved in all that?!””
