[Cunning and Ambition] Chapter 1: A Date with Daphne (Patreon)

What if Harry asked Daphne to the Yule Ball - part one.

Like I said I would, I got through it fairly quickly.

Of course, I realized about three sentences in the second scene that if I tried to cover everything up through the Yule Ball, this thing would wind up a monster somewhere in the vicinity of twice as big as the largest Essence chapters, so I decided to chop it up into three shorts and come back to do the other two later. Part 2, when it happens, will be Daphne and Harry having dance lessons. Part 3 will be the Yule Ball itself.

For now, though, this is part 1 of Cunning and Ambition. And now that I've sufficiently exercised this idea (or exorcised, if you will), I can get back to Tantalos and Essence.

EDIT: And after a long time, this is finally getting more content, so I'm updating this post to reflect how plans changed for it. Eight Virtues is a lot more than just three parts, one of which is the Yule Ball, which means some of the things I originally said here are out of date pretty massively.
