As mentioned earlier, I have some Whumptobers to catch up on (half finished, or ones I was a little uncertain about posting) so those will continue into November.

No. 15: “You can take a break, if you just tell me that it hurts.”

ONLINE E-BOOK (html, epub, mobi, pdf, and xhtml)

Free at my website.

Empty Dagger Hand (The Three Lands). Dolan is a quiet young man who spends his days working as a scribe. So why does he carry a hidden dagger?

New installment:

Side story | Loyal Revenge. His loyalty and his wickedness have come into conflict with each other.

EARLY ACCESS

My readers at Patreon and Ream get the first look at Flight Through the Forest (The Thousand Nations: The Motley Crew #2). That novella will go into general release next month.

BLOG FICTION

Tempestuous Tours (Crossing Worlds: A Visitor's Guide to the Three Lands #2). A whirlwind tour of the sites in the Three Lands that are most steeped in history, culture, and the occasional pickpocket.

New installment:

Reception chamber.

NEWS & UPCOMING FICTION

I'm sorry for posting so little online fiction last month; I spent all month struggling to transfer computers, so that I could retain/regain laptop access to the web, which I managed to achieve at the beginning of this month. Fortunately, I was able to edit and lay out "Flight Through the Forest" on my old laptop in the meantime.

The novella Heir (The Three Lands: Blood Vow side story) is up next on my release schedule. If you started reading Chronicles of the Great Peninsula during the last few years, here's your chance to meet several of Dolan's kinfolk, back when they were young. If you've been reading Chronicles of the Great Peninsula for a while now, here's the return of the characters from The Fire Before, fourteen years later. If you're a careful reader of Chronicles of the Great Peninsula, you know what's about to happen to the town of Valouse.

A couple of quick things I wrote for Fandom Giftbasket:

Firefly (Biggles/EvS, G, 1500 wds)
An evanescent moment on the journey home from Sakhalin.

Vaguely inspired by a photo of fireflies in India.

Birds (Alliance-Union, Meg/Dek, 500 wds)
Posted as a commentfic snippet, just a soft little moment for them after a rider ship mission.

Rewatching Babylon 5's "Ship of Tears" and (parts of) "War Without End" was definitely not conducive to ending up in the most cheerful frame of mind this evening. It's so good, though.

( Something I noticed in Ship of Tears )

trickortreatex and

fandomgiftbasket both revealed this weekend. I have gifts to coo over!

Trick or Treat:

Beware of Gurathin Bearing Gifts (Murderbot, gen, 580 wds)
Fun and playful with some nice little cultural details, and a tantalizing hint of a future mission to come.

Fandom Giftbasket:

Jala, Tujula, and Fraught Understanding by

pushkin666 (Babylon 5, Londo & G'Kar, 700 wds)
This is lovely, a possibly-late-in-series vignette with a little bit of cultural exchange (via food/drink) and a little hard-won wisdom/acceptance.

Keepsake by

opalmatrix (Murderbot, gen, 3200 wds)
A really enjoyable, very slightly AU slice-of-life on Port FreeCommerce in which Ratthi takes MB shopping for the first time. Great in-character interactions and a lovely ending!

Zayd & Marwan by

celli (Murderbot, gen, 750 wds)
Murderbot, Mensah's kids, and cats. Cute and fun!

Whumptobers will continue ~~until morale improves~~ probably a ways into November, since I'm still having a good time with it, and I have a few incomplete ones.

Alt Prompt: Organ Theft
Murderbot & Tarik, 800 wds (bookverse, post-System Collapse)
Also on AO3: Grand Theft Human

( 800 wds under the cut )

And fic #1000 turned out to be .... a follow-up to the time travel Biggles fic that I wrote for Out of Order Exchange. I had threatened to write what happened between Algy and Erich in 1918, and here it is.

Out of Time (2300 wds, Algy & Erich, gen)

The first one should probably be read first, if you haven't already.

And there it is, and here's to the next 1000!

I have reached a never-again milestone on AO3; my number of works is currently sitting at 999!

It'll increment in a few days when some currently unrevealed things are revealed, but before it does that I want to try to write a lucky 1000th fic.

(Appropriately, I'm also hitting this weird little milestone on the 25th anniversary of my time writing fanfic, which started in 2000.)

This is another one that's been sitting around in my drafts for a while now, mostly because I was trying to work out Lyta's POV chapter, and whether I was happy with the ending, but I finally decided to tidy it up and post it basically as-is. (Spoilers for everything; mostly gen despite the pairing notes.)

Where You End (And I Begin) (Babylon 5, G'Kar/Londo, Lyta/G'Kar [sort of], 4900 wds)
Lyta, G'Kar, Londo, and lingering vestiges of Dust telepathy. Set about a year after "Objects at Rest."
