Chapter 39 is up on AO3!   Enjoy!

Read the new chapter here

Overall fic Summary:

Felicity Smoak was recruited by ARGUS directly out of MIT and became one of the youngest Field Agents in their history. She was the Tech Guru of one of their most elite teams and her partner, Oliver Queen, was the love of her life. Then a mission went south, with terrible consequences. Felicity turned from field work and Oliver, hiding away in ARGUS’ hidden R&D center, the Cave.

Five years later, a new evil is infiltrating the world, but it’s looking for the same lost Mayan City and the same missing artifact. The ones that Felicity had made herself the world’s leading expert on. So now she was going to have to face her past, her greatest fears, and her biggest mistakes to find whatever HIVE is after before they do, because if Damian Darhk finds it first, no one on the planet will be safe.

Previously on To Sacrifice the Sun: 2020 edition

Hi all,

As part of my end of hiatus tradition, I’m posting this a few hours before the actual update.

I had hoped this would be the last one of these I posted and it might be, but for now here’s the summaries of chapters Prolgue-35.  I have 36-40 written, with a projected 46 in total.

To Sacrifice the Sun Fall 2020 & Ch 36 preview

Hello all!

I hope there’s still someone out there listening!  It was weird to open up Tumblr after so long.  It looks like I haven’t posted since April, but I suppose that makes sense since that’s when the world started to go all topsy turvey.

Since then my country has further descended into chaos.  The good the bad and the ugly.  Some of you know I live very close to Washington. DC so National US news is local news.  Everything affects us acutely.

That’s my excuse for not writing very much (my life only got busier with quarantine), but I can’t ignore that my passion for Olicity has been fading.  (Any advice as how to fix that is welcome).

But I’m ssoooo close to finishing To Sacrifice the Sun that I can’t even imagine giving up.

All along I had planed to wait to post until I’m completely finished with the story, but that's not happening so I’m hoping any fans I have left out there can help me get through this last bit.

I have five chapters done and plan to post the next five Sundays.  I’m really hoping that will get me excited enough to finish the last 7 chapters.  I’ve also been thinking a lot about how to turn this into an original story so that’s helping as well.  

So without further blathering:

Another Kind of Island Chapter 19

Chapter 19 is up on AO3, I hope you enjoy the ride.  ;-)

Read chapter 19 here

Catch up here: AO3

Summery of whole story:

Futura was the state of the art biotech company out to change the face of the health food industry. They were also the company that was going to save QC after Slade and Isabel left it in ruins.

But Futura has plans for Oliver and Felicity that has nothing to do with the company and everything to do with revolutionizing human kind.

Post Season 2 AU that started out as a way to combine my favorite smut tropes and ended up as a sci-fi, fantasy adventure (that revolves heavily around smut).

Sneak Peek: Another Kind of Island: Chapter 19

These are the things I know:

1. Chapter 19 of AKOI is FINALLY finished and will be up on Sunday

2. I have a very rough draft of chapter 20 written

3. I am officially a member of the “harried middle class struggling to work from home and raise cooped up children,”  as one particularly apt article I read described what various groups were up against in quarantine

4.  My Muse has been elusive at best.

Sigh

Another Kind of Island announcement

Hello all,

I hope everyone is staying healthy and safe.

I said at the end of chapter 18 of AKOI that it wouldn’t take me long to finish ch 19 (and it probably won’t), but in the time I had I was inspired to work on ch 20 instead and I need to finish that before the muse goes away.

I’ve decided to try for an every other week posting schedule.  So ch 19 on April, ch 20 on April 19 etc...

I’ll do my best.  It’s kind of crazy how busy I have been considering I never leave the house.  :-/

Another Kind of Island Chapter 18

After a year and 3 months, there is FINALLY a new chapter of AKOI up on AO3.  I hope you enjoy it!

Previously On Another Kind of Island...

Like with some of my other WIP I have painstakingly gone through and written chapter summaries for those of you who don’t want to reread and want to jump right into the new chapters.

Since it’s spoilers (and also long), I’m putting it under the cut.  I’m going to put an Tumblr-friendly.  They also link back to the chapters, if you want to read any in more depth.  :-)

Hi all,

In an attempt to revive the Muse and do something other than check the news 5052x a day, I’m going in to the comments for Chapter 17 of Another Kind of Island and posting an Olicity history told in gifs  in my responses (even if I’ve previously responded).

I will get as far as I can in chapter 17 and then pick up with chapter 18 this weekend.  😊

Whatever it takes to get through this, right?

Sneak Peek Another Kind of Island Chapter 18

Here we are, the first Another Kind of Island sneak peek in over 3 years.  Miracles do happen (and I think we need a few right now).  

I hope you enjoy it.  The chapter will be up on Sunday!

(Chapter art only a partial because the full thing isn’t Tumblr friendly ;-))
