A superb story... well worth absolutely ruining my sleep schedule over, lol! I have much enjoyed reading it all the way through! It was so rich with detail, and it felt like a REAL person's journal. A journal of incalculable in-universe value, mind you.
There's so many subtle features that are examples of fantastic writing... I loved the journalistic musing, almost like talking to herself to figure out how she truly felt about things; I loved the creativity of all the training at the Academy, I loved the varied and nuanced cast of characters; I loved how in the last chapter the writing style changes suddenly, a additional subtle indicator of how she has changed.
The super-nerd in me wishes there was a character sheet, so I could see what Heka's stats ended up being...
Wonderful story, thank you so much for writing it! I just wish I could give Kudos twice!
You have no idea how much your comments mean to me. Thank you so much! I, too, am a super-nerd. There is, in fact, a character sheet. I made the original sheet according to the Corebook rules, and awarded her a small amount of XP per entry. I don't have every iteration of the sheet, but I do have the final one. I'd hoped to include it as an extra at the end, but Ao3 doesn't allow pdf attachments.
