TDWL Stage 06.5 - The Peaceful Years

It's been longer than I want since my last post, but here were are. This is the intermediary chapter getting us from the pre-Hogwarts years up to Lelouch and Kallen's first year. You can find the (unedited) chapter here: Stage 06.5 - The Peaceful Years.

My next update will likely be for KSCoB.

Stage 28 - Revelations

You can find the next chapter of KSCoB here: Stage 28 - Revelations.

If you're read this stage in its rough draft form, you'll probably want to read it again, because there have been non-trivial changes.

KSCoB: Stage 28 Is in Editing

This chapter fought me every step of the way. This is most definitely a first draft. I already know some significant changes I plan to make, particularly to POV. At any rate, you can find the next chapter here: Stage 28 - Revelations. Updates to the posted stage will come approximately as I make them.

TDWL: Stage 06 - Reunions

You can find the next chapter of The Demon Who Lived here: Stage 06 - Reunions. This will likely be the end of Year Zero with a .5 stage between it and the beginning of Lelouch and Kallen's first year at Hogwarts.

This will also likely be the end of my fast update spree. The next term is starting, so my free time is going to diminish as I return to work after the holiday.

TDWL: Stage 06 Is in Editing

I am being so productive right now it's crazy. The next academic term will be starting soon for me, so I imagine my free time will decrease, but here we go. You can find the next chapter of The Demon Who Lived (in editing) here: Stage 06 - Reunions.

This will tentatively be the end of Year Zero (plus a .5 interlude stage). Also, to get you in the right frame of mind culturally, do note that this sto...

Stage 27 - Kaminejima

You can find the next chapter of CoB here: Stage 27 - Kaminejima.

The Demon Who Lived, Stages 4 & 5

Well, the editing for the latter stage went by very quickly, but then it was very short. Perhaps that shouldn't be a surprise. Regardless, you can find both stages at their usual place below.

Stage 04 - (Almost) Everyone Wins 

Stage 05 - C.C.'s Bizarre Adventure 

The next stage of CoB should be done in the n...

Stage 05 of The Demon Who Lived is in Editing

This one was written basically in one go, so it may be a little rough. C.C. is a hard character to write. At any rate, you can find the next stage (unedited) of TDWL here: Stage 05 - C.C.'s Bizarre Adventure.

If you missed it, you can also find the previous stage (editing [probably] finished) here: Stage 04 - (Almos...

Stage 27 is in Editing

You can find the next (unedited) stage of KSCoB here: Stage27 - Kaminejima. I'm pretty happy with this one, so the editing period should be short with only minor stylistic changes.

TDWL Stage 04 in Editing

I probably won't publicly publish this until I can release it together with the next stage (whenever that gets done), but the next chapter of The Demon Who Lived is in editing and available here: Stage 04 - (Almost) Everyone Wins.

Stage 26 - The Witch

You can find the next chapter of KSCoB here: Stage 26 - The Witch.

Stage 26 Is in Editing

You can find the next stage of KSCoB here: Stage 26 - The Witch. Depending on how my grading schedule lines up with other things, this may be released during the middle of the week or at the end of it. We'll see.

Anyway, wow. I wrote the second half of this over the course of, I think, two days. C.C. is such a hard character to write. She’s a mess of internally consistent contradictions with a haze o...

Omake - First Foray

Well, the response to the throw away plot bunny was a bit more than I expected, so I wrote up the next chapter. I think I'll write more of this story as the mood takes me, but for now, I'll be going back to KSCoB. I'm a couple thousand words into the next chapter of that right now.

Anyway, you can find the next chapter of The Demon Who Lived here: Stage 03 - First Foray.

Omake - A Plot Bunny Has Escaped

I don't know if I'm ever going to write any more of this, but here's a little CG/HP crossover: The Demon Who Lived. This idea refused to leave my mind until I wrote the basic premise.

Stage 25 - A Royal Wedding

The first stage of R2 is here. We start with a somewhat fluffy interlude to bridge the ending events of R1 into the beginning of R2. You can find the next chapter of KSCoB here: Stage 25 - A Royal Wedding.

I have a rough outline for R2 written, although we'll have to see how updates work out for that. They may be spread out like they have been, or I might write all/most of the next arc before releasing. It'...

Stage 25 Is in Editing; or Scripting Weddings Is Hard

You can find the next stage of KSCoB here: Stage 25 - A Royal Wedding. I have absolutely no idea how happy I am with this yet, but the basic structure is all there. This may be a long editing pass or a short one.

Stage 24 - In the Shadow of Victory II

You can find the next stage (and the end of R1) of KSCoB here: Stage 24 - In the Shadow of Victory II. The author's notes at the end of the stage have information on what comes next with R2.

Stage 24 in Editing

The second half of In the Shadow of Victory is finally done modulo some editing. It won't be a long turnover time like the last one. It's mostly done, and when it's fully done that will bring R1 to a close. You can find it here: Stage 24 - In the Shadow of Victory II.

Stage 23 - In the Shadow of Victory I

This took forever, and it's only the first half of the wrap up. You can find the next stage of KSCoB here: Stage 23 - In the Shadow of Victory I.

If you read the unedited version, there have been a lot of changes and updates. There's probably at least 5k more words in it now than at its initial prerelease.

Stage 23 Is in Editing

The next stage of KSCoB is in editing and is in a fairly rough state. It'll be the first half of the concluding chapter of R1. It was getting...long, so I had to split it into two parts (the second half is nowhere near finished, but I'll be prioritizing finishing the first half first). You can find it here: Stage 23 - In the Shadow of Victory I.

Stage 22 - In the Light of Victory

The chapter of KSCoB which I, at least, have wanted to get to since before R0 finished can be found here: Stage 22 - In the Light of Victory. The next one will be interwoven with this on and deal with the more negative consequences of Kallen and Lelouch's rise to power.

Stage 22 in Editing

You can find the next stage here: Stage 22 - In the Light of Victory. To be honest, this one is probably in its final state already excepting a grammar pass. I've had large chunks of this heavily outlined for months and in some case fully written since the the beginning of R0. This would have been out a lot sooner, but I lost a week and a half of time recovering from surgery.

Anyway, In the Light o...
