Chapter 5 of Waking to Another Sky, “Brainstorming and Boss Fights,” is up on Archive of Our Own.
On the Seeds of Blood front – so far I’ve managed to fix two small problem areas and find about three more. Obviously I need an Iolaus to sear the heads of this hydra….
My best writing time is in the morning, so that’s when I’m trying to tackle “new stuff needs to be written in X spot”. Evenings, I’m going for typos, word choice, and – tonight – comparing two sections of text so that only necessary things are repeated. With luck, I might knock that specific problem out in the next few hours. π
*Crosses fingers, knocks on wood.*
>βOkay, people. Itβs been a long day. Letβs give the general a fifty-words-or-less.β>
“Sir we are completely and utterly boned.”
“An accurate summation Colonel, but I’d like something slightly more constructive.”

“We think we know why we’re boned on the Alpha Site portion of this equation-”
“Wait, what?”

Aww, we don’t get to see what Agil’s wife is up to with the message the players sent out this chapter…and in this chapter Jack hasn’t worked out WHERE the players got that information…and what they did with it.

Notes I have. Darn uncooperative bunnies… hoping in a month they’ll have the energy?

We are f$%#ed. We absolutely cannot avoid information being disclosed.
The players do not trust us. Some of them, now confined, used Kayabaβs infernal device to murder other players.
The players have leadership whom we have not really negotiated with.
Kayaba makes a very good case for rethinking our strategy.

Danny’s a##holeness makes more sense.I think SAO’ers are gonna assume Villain Protagonists at this rate.To be fair, I waver myself. Ex: Nuke at possible First Contact .
