    Yay, hesitant alliances! You go, girls!

    I really enjoyed this setup! I'm excited to see where this is going (and very, very worried for Eugene and Lance and Varian and the girls and Quirin and Arianna and Frederik and

    Also, I'm very intrigued by your choice of title. I noticed the bird reference, and I wonder how it's going to tie into the rest of the story.

    You said this was rushed, but it didn't feel that way to me. Everything seemed right, writing-wise--perhaps less concrete than usual, but still very good.

      Nobody does hesitant alliances like our gals! (Though I do admire how impressive—and intentional—Rapunzel's general lack of hesitance is in canon, given everything that's happened between them. Hmm, I should highlight that in this.)

      Thank you! Yeah, uh, don't worry about the rest of the gang; they're... (*looks over shoulder at the sounds of the decay incantation happening*) ...probably going to be fine. Eventually. Maybe?

      Much like The Weathervane Always Points Home, this fic's title was borne of me going "ooh, I'll use that as a placeholder title!". Unfortunately, in both cases, I then had to figure out an in-story reason for using it as the Actual Title. So yes, I also wonder how it's going to tie into the rest of the story. I have some ideas, but still gotta connect them together.

      I'm glad it didn't feel too rushed! It very much was, lol, but I think it was good practice in writing something quickly. I'm currently working on an edit for this chapter that should feel more filled out; it should be up in a day or two. My goals are to finish this quickly, relatively decently, and without going into the perfectionism crunch. Hopefully I can pull it off!
