So I'm writing a treat. Things are going well... ~1800 words in.
Reread the prompt in detail to make sure things are going well only to find a line I didn't notice before.
You can do this thing and this thing and even THIS, but please don't do that (they're all dark themes so it's not like pls don't write in present tense).
Guess how this fic is supposed to end.
WITH THAT.
So what do I do, _coal? I love the logical conclusion of that, it works well for the fic I am writing... and I can't see this ending any other way and with nearly 2k in the tank, I feel like I am committed.
But at the same time, I want to write this as a treat, the requestor inspired my prompt after all, but they don't want this one thing.
And no, I can't gift it to someone else. It's a rare pair, unfortunately.
SHIT.
