Susan and Edmund talk about linguistics, post-LWW. Meta thinly cloaked in dialogue. (ETA: Disney movie canon, because I picked up an idea from somebody else's fic and forgot to check it against the books. *grimace*)

In other news, work was a cesspit of madness today, but I survived. I also wrote another 150 words of "Secrets" ch. 14, and figured out why the scene with the twins wanted to exist. It turns out there's actually a perfectly good reason! And, in a potentially annoying twist, I think that while I can still collapse my original epilogue into ch. 14, I now have a plan for a different epilogue, set during the Weasleys' trip to Egypt. Which is all very well and good for letting me work Bill and Charlie into the story as physical presences instead of just in Ginny's thoughts, and for wrapping up a couple thematic threads, but now I need to do research on Cairo or Alexandria or the Valley of Kings or something like that.
Bother. Bother, bother, bother.
