bedlam boundary - 24.31 (Patreon)

Chapter squirms and worms through the factory's spinning guts, caressing machines and kissing the forges with lips of molten iron.

An epub version of the chapter is also attached below!

And we are back, once again! Here we go, dear readers, the final stretch of arc 24! Or ... is it? I'm actually not sure! My plans and outlines tell me that we can and may indeed finish on chapter 33; but my plans never survive contact with the characters. Two Heathers are going to absolutely shred my outlines. They've already started. So! I've penciled in the possibility for this to go to 35 chapters, but I would be seriously surprised if it got that far.

And then, of course, there's the epilogue! We're so close now, I can taste it in the air.

Anyway! I hope you enjoy this one, dear readers. Heather (and Heather) is going to some difficult places.

In the meantime, I have yet more art to share, from over on the discord! First up we have one of the most delightful pieces of fanart I've ever received, 'Moffdance', a fully animated gif of Lozzie and Tenny, by the very talented Cera. Over on the fanart page there's several variations on this, including LozzersXP (modified by spring!), and LozzieBuddy, (by Yendi). Next up we have a meme-based interpretation of this whole double-Heather thing (by cylonspy!) We also have these two interpretations of Lonely Heather's insignia (by skaianDestiny!), and this 3D printed real life physical version, (by BadMedic!) Phew, gosh. That's a lot! Once again, thank you all so much for this fanart, it's so very flattering to see! Thank you all!
