Sharing the Nation: Chapters 20–21 (Patreon)

For every 20k word month, there's another one where I just manage to scrape by… I was going to try and get at least 5k out for A Sparkle-ling Perfection, too, but the first 5k I wrote for Sharing the Nation just wasn't publishable, so I had to continue working on it.  As it is, it's a little bit anticlimactic and I'm going to have to go back and retcon the timeline a tiny bit to add more time before the CMC get their party, but at least things are moving along.

It's 8,400 words at the time of this posting, but I expect to get another ~1,000+ words done before midnight… or whenever I go to bed, anyway.
