fit for thrones chapter update: work completed!
the thing with having a really long interconnected series of serieses is that sometimes you just think you know what, i should mark this one complete and start a new one.
it's sort of more an instinctive than rational process. but i'm introducing a new plotline thing, and i've hit a bunch of sort of puncuation-y-feeling plot points, so. Posting a chapter and calling that a punctuation, and then the next work will pick up pretty much immediately, but with a new fairly big plot point revelation.
I'm sort of trying to think of rereaders here too, like if you're (I'm) coming back to this series after a while away and you're (I'm) like "i wanna read the one where they X" it's easier to find if it's not a random chapter in the middle of a longer work where the X revelation happens. IDK! It's an inexact kind of art. We'll see.
But anyway. Chapter 12 has an unexpected resolution of the one major will-they-won't-they tension, and has another sort of smaller resolution of a different will-they-won't-they, or at least a statement of intent. And then the next story can pick up with the new stuff and go from there.

Ciri shrieked and snatched up a pillow from the couch, bludgeoning [Geralt] with it, and he fended it away from his face but mostly let her do it, and it was immediately obvious that she wasn’t trying to do any damage anyway. “Dad! Why are you like this!”
“I fix problems,” Geralt repeated, laughing now.
One of the household guards appeared in the doorway beside Morvran, looking alarmed-- obviously, the sounds of Ciri’s indignation had carried. Morvran had managed to keep his solemn expression, so he nodded seriously at the man. “A most grievous assault,” he said.
“I see,” the guard said, watching the witcher half-heartedly fending off Ciri’s blows, which hadn’t been very forceful to begin with.
“Why,” Ciri said, desisting, “are you like this,” and she stood with one hand on her hip, the pillow swinging from her other hand, watching Geralt helplessly giggle from the heap in which he had slid to the floor in order to protect his vitals from her onslaught.
“I fix problems,” Geralt wheezed. “I was just-- fixing a problem.”

fic update: fit for thrones chapter 11!!
I was like almost done with this for ages and there was one conversation I had to come up with one different line for, thanks to a couple of great line-edit suggestions from @bittylildragon, but then as I was working on it I realized a slightly different direction the conversation needed to go in order to actually get what I was imagining out into the actual page, and it meant I could introduce an entire new subplot and background, which was exciting, but--
well mostly I'm trying a different medication and suddenly I can write again, so that's amazing and I'm excited and the only downside is that this new medication costs $160 more for a two-week supply than the medication that almost-worked but meant I didn't so much as open a fic doc for four weeks.
mmmmyeah I love American healthcare. But I'll eventually hit my deductible I guess.
So we all get what was supposed to be a couple thousand words of Morvran&Lu banter, but it's a whole chapter instead. I didn't figure anyone would mind, there's new plot points all through it. They're very effective, those two.
Now I have to rewrite several future chapters almost in their entirety, though.
