Three days earlier… KYRIE: I can’t promise you much time, so please, do be quick. SARAYN: It is understood. I imagine this puts you in quite the predicament. KYRIE: A promise is a promise. SARAYN: And earnest you are. I hardly thought you would honor the agreement, considering the way things went at the temple. But your charity isn’t unwelcome. KYRIE: I pray I do not come to regret it. SARAYN: Oh? Do you distrust me, Your Grace? I expect you must think I might misuse the knowledge your Spire offers. KYRIE: We both know I have every reason to distrust you. Though, my judgement is skewed. I can’t ignore the things you’ve done to Eve or Eira. And I’ve no intention of forgiving you for them. That being said, if it wasn’t for my sight, I wouldn’t be privy to such vivid retellings. SARAYN: So, you separate yourself from your friends. How nearly objective of you. KYRIE: I also can’t forget that you once saved my life. And now, have honored my wishes. Whatever your reasons might be. If nothing else, it has, again, earned you the benefit of my doubt. SARAYN: I can respect your fair and honest nature. Even if it is… foolish. KYRIE: laughs It’s good to be a fool now and again. Though, we open ourselves to great punishment. I would rather be receptive to all sorts of feelings— the good, and the bad— than to shut myself off from any and all potential affection. KYRIE: There was a time when I desired greatly to get to know you. To catch some glimpse into a world so different than my own. SARAYN: Get to know me? KYRIE: Does it sound strange to you? That anyone might take interest? SARAYN: It does. KYRIE: Well, it furthers my point, doesn’t it? SARAYN: Why should someone like you wish to know anything at all about me? KYRIE: Why do you care about this Spire? Why do you care what you might find in those books? SARAYN: It interests me. History, what knowledge you might glean from it, new, strange theories, long-forgotten ideas. It’s fascinating. KYRIE: Curious. What you find in books, I find in people. In my humble opinion, they’re far more fascinating.

Shina! What do you mean Easter egg related to Intersect 🧍🏽‍♀️!!!

My brain started going right away trying to think of what the loose connection could be 👀👀👀 I even went back and skimmed all my notes (that I really need to post, I can’t be the only one of the two of us that knows we’ve already had at least 2 fights and makeups…I think the last sentence of this chapter of Coquet marks a third 😐😂) for a refresher. It was not helpful tho bc I just got sucked back into Intersect and now I want to reread both stories 🥲

Is his friend one of the office crew!? 🤔🤔🤔 would it be that obvious??? Probably not huh…now I wanna go back and read Intersect and pay extra close attention to the JK in that story… but also I want to go back to the beginning of Coquet and pay closer attention to that JK too…see my problem 😐

(ALSO thank you for all your lovely expansions in response to my response 🥺 you gave me so much to think about and I just love how you consider everyone’s point of view and how complex human emotions and relationships are. The real world is gray all over and the way you write reflects that really well! It’s no wonder your stories and the worlds you build in them are so easy to get lost in. Trust me I would know…I’m currently stuck between dimensions of two of them 🥲😂. Sorry this is after, I got too exciting about worlds colliding)

Oh noooo I’m so sorry!!! No, no—it’s not a huge crazy plot point (I don’t think) so you do not have to comb through Intersect again 😬 I just have this thing where I plant little “connections” to my other fics 😅 I’m weird like that!

And thank you!! I know it was super long but I wanted to be able to rationalize my plot decisions here. Of course, this line of thinking doesn’t necessarily work on everyone and I don’t want to make a whole blanket statement. I just wanted to bring in a human element to it—and somewhat relatable? I get that fics are supposed to be a form of escape but I’m trying to build up characters and I want to write them in a way that’s not too far off as to how I’ve “established” them in a way? On the other hand, I also want to keep it rooted to some semblance of reality. Some readers might say, ‘Oh, I would NEVER do anything like that!’ And to that I say, that’s great that you’d never do something like that but unfortunately, my OC might or will. Author intention can only go so far and I can’t control my readers’ reactions. I can only try to justify my characters’ actions. I feel like any action will usually have a reason—even though one will say that they don’t know why they did it or will say that there’s ‘no reason.’ There’s no such thing as out of the blue. There’s always a lead-up 👀

And you’re absolutely right. I get so lost in my characters’ frame of mind 😂 it’s a little crazy but I love breaking things down and trying to figure out ways to “challenge” myself.

Thank you for keeping an open mind as always and feel free to scream at me anytime 😅
