I knew I’d be busy the last two evenings of Nano so I’ve been getting the word count done as soon as it hits midnight. So I have now officially completed the challenge with the final logged word count at around 51k.
There’s about 1.5k I haven’t logged yet because it’s not been added to the fic, but aside from editing and any further additions it’s finished :)
title: the other hand knocking (10/10)
summary: Since he was eighteen, Steven Harrington knew he would not marry: there were many factors, but chief among them were that he had, he knew, given up his chance for true happiness when he had allowed his mother to persuade him from accepting Edward Munson’s proposal. Or: a Regency AU.
excerpt:
It was well past midnight — perhaps half-two, or later, judging from the scant bit of moon he could see through the stable windows — and Steve was half asleep against the wall of Bimmer’s stall, his head nodding against his chest, when a warm body pressed against his left side and a blanket was draped over his lap.
Edward Munson pressed a kiss to his temple and asked, “How is mama?”
“Bearing her indignities,” he said, “with far more grace and poise than I would, I should think.”

“Are you sure about this?” Cody asks. The wind tickles his cheeks, drawing his eyes away from the water and back towards the man he’s standing beside.
“Yes,” Obi-Wan says, flashing a smile at him. “It’s only a little chilly.” He’s already taken his shirt off, and is now messing with the ties on his boots. Cody looks at him, because he can and because he wants to.
“If it’s cold here, it’ll be colder in the water,” Cody says, eyeing the lake doubtfully. It’s the middle of the day, and Alderaan’s sun is hanging above them in the sky so it’s not as cold as it was this morning, but they’re still up high in the mountains. Cody would never have considered swimming if Obi-Wan hadn’t suggested it.
“That’s what makes it fun,” Obi-Wan laughs, undoing his belt and laying it down on his shirt. “You don’t have to swim with me if you don’t want to, my dear.”
There! Phantom Threat is now finished! Thanks a lot all of you who have given your support, and I hope you’ll enjoy this last bit as well! ^_^

There is light on him, even though he has no eyes to see it. Still half-drifting in his sleep, Xiao Xingchen its warmth, faint on his face, such an unusual glimmer of sunshine in that land of endless fog. He is allowed a brief moment of serene contemplation before his memories startle him out of his slumber. He must go back, immediately.
He gathers his bearings, locating by sound the stream and finding his way towards the familiar forest trail. As he leaves the clearing he finds there are talismans and cultivation gear scattered all around, and then realizes something unsettling.
It wasn’t the slight caress of light that woke him.
It's over! Approximately 53 hours knitting and 2 hours blocking (it dried overnight, so there are some advantages of this heatwave!)
Images: a large shawl laid out to block. The shawl is alternating lace panels in different solid colours and stocking stitch in a varigated yarn. The second image is the shawl folded up and wrapped in some of the left over yarn which is tied in a bow.
