36: Tale

I'll be honest, I'm not fond of that title - but it didn't seem wise to hold the chapter back for another few days while I spun my wheels trying to find a better one. :P

Anyway, welcome back, guys! Sorry for the long wait. Like I mentioned in my AN, things got kinda crazy this summer, and they didn't really calm down even after classes began again. My schedule has this weird thing where I have a bunch of free time between classes, but I'm stuck on campus (commuting this semester) and I really hate writing in public, so I'm basically just wrestling with myself for hours trying to get anything done, haha. Such is life.

Consequently, as I mentioned, updates will likely be all over the place. Hopefully I'll have something for you all the Sunday after next - we'll just have to see how it goes. Doesn't help that Sprite's chapter is probably going to be a behemoth. It's the last one of hers, and we have lots of stuff to cover! I hope you guys can hang on until the end. :)

@Cinderpaw11: Tbh, in the original original plan way back when, I didn't really intend for Faun/Riven to get too close - I figured they'd be uneasy allies at best, united more through their shared desire for change than any actual affection. Their closeness actually arose when I realized I was going to need 4 more chapters to cover some stuff I'd kinda glossed over, which in turn made me reassess some I'd already written to tie up the themes and such. It came together really nicely, I think - even though, as you said, it's probably not fated to end well.

As for Koulder, hopefully this most recent chapter gave you plenty of his brains to pick. ;)

& thanks again for noting the typoes - for some reason FP changes the formatting when you italicize just one word, sometimes. Very strange.

@Lynxeye: I legit grinned when I saw your username on there. It's been a long time! I hope the most recent lil hiatus hasn't scared you off, because I'm super glad to have you back. At least it probably gave you time to catch up, haha.

That's about it, I think. See you guys soon (maybe)!
