68

Hello again! Short time no see, haha. Actually finished this chapter on the 28th, but decided to hold it back a bit. Didn't want to spam you guys. ;)

Can't promise the productive tide will continue to swell, but I hope it does! Aaand it was a big chapter, as we finally got some answers. A lot of you guys guessed the journey/BirchClanandsuch connections, so good on ya! Always lovely when you guys peek at plot twists. One of my peeves is when random Clans spring out of nowhere, so I finally got to address that, haha. Everyone has an origin, everything has a purpose!

Hmmhmm, can't think of much more to say, other than the climax is rapidly approaching, of course! The conflict with Twolegplace is literally about to come to a head, so I hope you guys will enjoy that. Mm, can't think of anything else, so onto the reviews! :3

@Mallowfeather: Thanks! Being in the flow of things is always crazy-lovely, so I'm happy about that. I just want to write everything, haha. Kinda in a manic period, I guess! It happens. And nope, no sequel. That'd turn this couple into a full-on trilogy, and I'm not prepared for that, haha. Hopefully the climax/falling action/epilogue will ease your mind...and then we'll have one-shots, of course! Who doesn't love those?

@Shadough: It had to be done. Love you. <3

@Bookworm: Home by who? There are a lot of songs by that name, ha, but thanks. Spider/Black are a pretty cute couple it's true. c:

@Woods Warrior: Yes! The past few chapters have been extremely doom-and-gloomy (for good reason) but Spider's ended on a light note, and this most recent Sooty chapter is bittersweet, at least! The turn, as they say. Stop hinting at your theory, and just tell me, por favor. I love theories, and you're torturing me so. ;-;

@Luna-Soul-Sky: No worries, he's in StarClan now, watching over everyone. His family will miss him, though, poor things. Alas, sweet Robinpaw. Still, circle of life and all that. Better him than someone else, right? ;)

@Tufted: Nah, she can't tell them everything without looking a bit crazy! It's really only cats outside of the whole thing - like Sage and Rook - who can suspend their disbelief enough to listen. Clan cats wouldn't "get" it, I guess you could say, with their rigid definitions of right and wrong - the Dark Forest is definitely wrong. If she does tell any Clanners, it'll be those close to her, like her family, and of course she'll trust them to keep it on the down-low.

@Dracones: Hey, love. Your Mother-Duckery warms my heart, aha. Yep, Black and Spider had a lot of fights back in the day (I'm working on rereading Chilled so I don't forget any details for the end, ha), and it's kinda a relief that they've cooled down, even though it does lead to less drama (drama is always lovely). They're sweet peas, and provided neither of them dies horribly, I think they'll withstand the test of time just fine. Redpaw's a turd as usual, ehe, but at least he's learned a little - he did help Natasha, after all, and carrying a buncha mewling kits couldn't have been fun. Kits def aren't his thing. Newleaf is actually a pretty long way away still, believe it or not! Things started getting cold in leaf-fall, and the transition between leaf-fall and leaf-bare is kinda hazy, so it hasn't really been as long as we think. Many cold days await our heroes, sadly, even if Maggot does take a tumble. Reed's group is making good time, and the raid's still a few days away, but will they be there in time to help out...? Who knows. Guess we'll have to wait and see (my favorite phrase, ehehe).

That's all, loves! Seeya soon, with any luck. :]
