Chapter 31 is in beta

[darkemeralds]

I don't even want to LOOK at the clock, but I just submitted the never-ending Chapter 31 to kis the Wonder Beta for her eagle-eyed review.

*flops bonelessly into bed*

I expect to post this long-overdue chapter within a few days, depending on kis's schedule.

For your future waiting pleasure:

Chapter 32 is in the works
Chapter 33, upon which Part III ends, is complete.
Chapter 34, upon which Part IV commences, is in final draft.
Chapter 35 is about half done.
Chapter XX (40? ish?--the final chapter) is substantially complete.
Epilogue is complete.

So I hope to avoid any future l-o-o-o-o-ng hiatuses, though I'm eying that gap between 35 and 40 a little dubiously because right now the only thing bridging it are some isolated scenes. But I'm confident.

Those readers who've been waiting so patiently, thank you!

SHINY.

...now I have to reread the whole thing, don't I. Damn.

[darkemeralds]

Hee! You might. I know I do every now and then as I'm writing, to make sure I don't forget too much stuff.

Oh, this fills my heart with such glee.

I won't even tell you how many times I've checked in on the AO3 to look for updates since the last one.

Can't wait.

Also, by the by, I don't know if you know of dauntdraws, but she did a Livestream drawing session a little while back in which she was feeling randomly inspired by an airing of Pride & Prejudice to draw Regency!Jensen and Regency!Jared. I, of course, got all excited to see her draw versions of Tristan and John. Turns out she hadn't read Restraint, but I linked it to her, and she got all wibbly and delighted over it.

Here is the link to the little doodles of Regency!boys she made (warning, other images in the same post are rather NSFW, though the full sized images of the porny drawings are tidily behind SFW thumbnails), who may not be Tris and John, exactly, but I thought I'd point them out anyway.

And here is what Daunt had to say about Restraint after she started in on listening to FayJay's podfic version.

Oh, how lovely! Thank you for pointing her work out to me--and thank you for recommending mine to her.

I left her a note and sort of said that if she felt like drawing any John and Tristan illustrations, I'd wouldn't hate it. :D
