Slag, ch 1, 2, and 3 (Patreon)

You might remember from late last year, when I was sick with COVID, that I published a chapter of a thing written while cognitively compromised. Well, I'm at Inkhaven for the month of April, and have at least some time to stretch out the writing muscles and do some low-stakes writing. (I'm also working on AGARES here, two chapters done of Book 2 so far, while mapping out the future of the serial. I'd like it to be idea dense, and the best way to do that is to make sure that it's structurally packed full of things, and then add more things as I go.)

Anyway, here's the second and third chapter, hosted on AO3 for now. I'm writing this quickly and without much forethought, at least by my standards, and I'm resisting the temptation to sit down for a session of worldbuilding (though, uh, there is already a document). No promises that this will ever have anything more put toward it.
