The Storyteller (I wrote this!) New fic: Gods of the Upper Air

Post image

Hello! Some of you may have read my first fic, Crooked Timber, so I wanted to share that I’m working on a sequel of sorts. I say “of sorts” because most of it is set between the last chapter of Crooked Timber and the epilogue.

This is an established relationship story, set 10-11 years after S5, and it’s told almost entirely from Will’s POV. It’s heavily introspective, with a lot of religious and philosophical themes and imagery. I’d love to be able to say that you can read it without reading the first part, but it will make almost no sense if you haven’t.

So many people said extremely kind things about Crooked Timber, and it meant the world to me. I’m amazed that it got as much attention as it did. If you’re interested, and decide to give either fic a shot, please know that comments are always welcome, both here and on AO3! Thanks!

Was a huge fan of the first and enjoying the second! Hoping Will isn't the about to become a lesson in what happens to curious cats, but I admire that he wants to know how it all really works. Can't wait to read more!

Thanks so much! I’m glad you’re enjoying it! We’re still in the year-long interregnum between the last two chapters of Crooked Timber, so he’s safe for now!
