Katalepsis, Eusebeia Epoche - placid islands; black infinity - 2-1.13 (Patreon)

Chapter wanders the cold streets of morning, past walls of glass and under arches of steel, chasing the edge of night.

Epub of the chapter is also attached below!

Maisie, Maisie, Maisie, where are you going? Toward the hidden core of the narrative, you say? Where it's wrapped in such layers of terror that you won't be able to stop peeling them back until you behold the naked truth glistening and bloody beneath the point of your knife? Well alrighty then! You go, girl! Not like I can stop you, anyway ... uh, have fun!

Ahem! And you, dear readers, I hope you enjoy the chapter! We're past the halfway point now. I'm still aiming for abouuuut 20 chapters for this arc in total. Things are about to start accelerating, if I've calibrated my Maisies correctly and got all my ducks in a row. But she might shoo the ducks around and chase them into the pond, so, uh, who knows! On with the show!

Oh! But first, yup, you guessed it, I have more fanart to share with you! We have quite a few this week. First off we have this little joke about Tenny raising money for college (by tirrene!) Then next, we have this sketch of Twil stealing a leg from a doll, which is undoubtedly what would happen if she joined Maisie in this arc (will she???), (by Clericalism!) Then we have three pieces - the Himejoshi beyond the ken of mortal minds, Praem and Evee, and Sevens discovering her actual interests. All three of those are by the very talented K25fF! Thank you all so much, it's such an incredible delight to see all this fanart, every time!
