Sorry if you’ve already been asked this, but when did you know you wanted to tell Efnisien’s story through FFS? What motivated you to show his redemption journey?

Hi hi anon!

Honestly I started thinking about it during the chapter where Efnisien gives the USB to Augus, and Gwyn tries to kill him, and he's just laughing-crying, while knowing that he's going to be murdered in cold-blood by Crielle as a result.

And then I just...spent about 8 months trying not to think about it, because I was certain everyone would hate the story. And then one day I started making a playlist, and then started thinking about it a bit more seriously, and decided 'fuck it' because the idea of Efnisien living a barren, empty life in Hillview, dependent on Gwyn, after his sacrifice, just didn't sit well with me.

I funnily enough did not start out planning on writing a redemption narrative. I knew none of his victims would forgive him for his actions, and that his therapist would never be like 'there there it's okay' about it. For a while I even wondered if Falling Falling Stars would have a bleak, semi-hopeful ending. Just like, 'well it's better than it was but it's still terrible.'

But Dr Gary's a really good therapist so, we ended up on a different track. :D

But yeah no, I wasn't motivated to write a redemption journey, honestly. I was just motivated to write Efnisien's story after Spoils, and then it became what it became. But initially, in those early chapters, it could have become a lot of different things, because I had no real conception of it except that I didn't want to write a redepemption narrative, heh.

Now I don't care that this is what it kind of became, but I do like that it's complex enough that if anyone said 'no way I'm not reading that, he's an abusive asshole' even Efnisien would calmly agree with them and respect their right to feel that way.

I'm just gonna.... Leave these here....

Also, their caption

It seems like I have become possessed. By some sort of demon.

Bonus:

god i really thought you people were lying about laios and kabru just for the sake of pretending like there is a gay little thing going on when its questionably textual at best but this shit is for real fascinating. unprecedented. master manipulator kabru playing both sides operating behind six layers of sublimated yaoi to obsessively plot laios' downfall. and on the other side of the coin notable Grade A Grass-Fed Freak laios touden experiencing a completely normal crush on the first pretty man to demonstrate polite interest in his passions and hobbies. i can only imagine laios is gonna be out here milking minotaurs like 'hm. if kabru was here now...i wonder if he would enjoy this too..... that would be nice (:' whilst kabru is pacing a deep furrow in the cobblestones clear on the other side of the dungeon vowing up and down that he will commit to sucking laios' dick meat clean off the bone if it might bring him one step closer to seeing his head on a pike

Constellations - 01 - A Stalking Star (Gwyn + Efnisien reconcilation) on AO3

In which Gwyn accidentally finds out that Efnisien may have been molested at Hillview, doesn’t know how to deal with it, and then sees him by accident at a park and maybe just…keeps invisibly trying to watch him at that park during subsequent weekends, because he wants to get to know who his cousin really is and doesn’t quite know how to be normal about it.

EARLY ACCESS: Constellations - 04 - Debrief in the Woods on Patreon and Ream:

In this chapter, Gwyn and Augus debrief together while taking Fleet for a walk in a forest. Gwyn reflects on this 'new' Efnisien he's meeting, and Augus begins to realise he may never have had a proper picture of Efnisien in the first place.

– Thanks to all the Patreon and Ream supporters for making this (and my other writing) possible!

Happy Good Omens day!

I made so much fan art of them back in 2019 and found this lil thing that I still find cute.

I remember there were debates in the thread if that was a tree or an explosion. It can be whatever you want it to be 😌
