edenfalling: headshot of a raccoon, looking left (raccoon)
I hate it when plots sneak up on me. I'd planned to sort of duck the issue of the Sarguls and the portals (they were supposed to be a McGuffin, damn it!), but apparently my subconscious is not in favor of that idea. I now have a genuine evil plan that needs foiling. What's worse, the plan also needs discovering, and I don't write mysteries! *wails*

I knew the random dimensional theory world-building was going to come back and bite me somehow. I knew it. And yet, I couldn't help myself.

Anyway. Chapter 7 of "Lemonade," in which Faith, Duo, and Sasuke once again fail to reach water or have sex. I swear to god, there will be sex sooner or later -- it's in the damned outline! -- but the path to certain plot milestones just gets longer and twistier as I keep writing. *beats head against table* Argh.

ExpandLemonade, Part VII )

You know, this story is interesting from a structural standpoint. There are a number of conversations and internal reactions that I'd love to show, but because of POV issues (and language barriers), a lot of them go by the wayside and I have to use semi-flashback internal monologues. It's a funny way to write.
