Fall of Autumn, Week 4, Day 3
Hi Friends!!
It has come to my attention that I never uploaded Otherworldly - A Shadowed Awakening onto Patreon. So, here it is in its entire edited beauty. I'll do the same once I've finished Book 2's editing. Then they'll go into their own collections. Enjoy!
2024-04-26 22:00:29 +0000 UTC View PostA/N: I'm resetting the interlude numbers because we're in a new book! Eventually, I'll go back and rename Book 2's stuff, haha, but for now, it'll just be Book 3. THIS HAS BEEN EDITED FOR CONTENT IN ANTICIPATION OF BOOK 3's RELEASE.
Interlude 1
In the Depths
A/N: Sorry it's late! It was, once again, giving me a slap in the face of 'do you even know your own characters?' and eventually I had to strangle the thing into submission because I DO.
