Not sure why I didn't post this sooner, unless for some reason or another I thought about bundling all of Chapter 10 in all 3 parts in a single post. Part 2's full set will come out tomorrow for Silver Rank+!

I've got a few things on my to-do list still, including plugging through OBT's ask blog backlog, revising the part 3 script one more time for my beta readers, and getting back to working on Nothing Gold! For now I'll just let my whims decide what I work on, but I definit...
2025-10-13 14:00:12 +0000 UTC View PostSorry for the accidental all-tier posting of a few pages today! I guess y'all can consider it like a "trailer" for what's to come haha. Already edited the post in question, but this notice is so y'all don't think you just imagined it- and the comment section here doubles as the Official "Wait What The Fuck Happened To Malachi...

SURPRISE, she's back!
