Today was just distraction central.

I don’t do well when things are different or unsettled. Today I spent the morning waiting for the new fridge/freezer to arrive, then they were here what felt like an age trying to install it before leaving as they didn’t have time. Mum then tried to complete the job and failed so I don’t know what’s wrong with it. They are sending an engineer Sunday so we still don’t have a working fridge/freezer and everything is still topsy-turvy in the kitchen 🙁

Anyway I was determined to write a bit and so I made myself sit down after dinner. I wanted at least the 444 for the 4thewords streak and then I checked and I had 655. I then decided I’d go for 1k because I haven’t gone under 1k all month so far. In the end I finished the first kiss flashback. Not sure it’s any good, I liked my summary for it and I’m not sure I captured it.

A few looks that made them wonder and then John had some dutch courage and made a move which was instantly reciprocated because damn that was brave, and I need them to know it was ok.

But it’s done anyway so two relationship flashbacks down, three more to work in before the end of the story. I need to get back to the Cabal now and Henry’s about to get a star turn for his hacking skills. Not sure whether that’ll translate to much fic time haha (this fic is 95% The Five) but it will provide essential information. Once James has all the intel he can plot the Cabal’s demise.

I think this might well go a little over 50k at this rate. Good job I’m still 10k ahead of pace for the month.
