Generation Kill PTSD babyfic coda: The Frame You Made (1/6)
So yesterday was the second birthday of my Generation Kill PTSD babyfic, Don't You Shake Alone, and for the occasion I decided to start posting my coda fic as a WIP. (I keep getting distracted by certain shiny metal objects, so I'm hoping the WIP thing will prod me along through actually finishing this before never.)
When I was writing Don't You Shake Alone, I started out with this very firm and specific idea about what I was going to do as an epilogue to that story, and I really loved the epilogue idea and I spent so much time happily plotting and refining the epilogue, and eventually I realized that that epilogue a) was going to be really impractically long for an epilogue and b) taking place, as it would, seven and a half years after the main action of the story, would require about six other epilogues to set it up. So then I wrote the epilogue the story actually has, instead, which very neatly tied off the story as it was and did not go starting up some whole other story, introducing new characters, etc.
But, you know, that was still the epilogue of my heart and I still wanted to write it, still MEANT to write it, and now I am actually writing it, by way of all the other epilogues required to set it up.
So with many thanks to everyone who's been involved with this story since 2012, and especially to![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
