The Machine Chapter Fourteen: What Comes After

Summary:

“Well, it looks like he’s going to live, but I’m not sure… what comes after.”

Snippet:

Kylo Ren couldn’t remember the last time he felt so good. And while there was this shrill little voice in the back of his mind that begged for him to remember that not everything was as it should be… he couldn’t summon the energy to care. He didn’t want to bring an end to this… this motionless suspension of the senses. This soft, pillowy, lavender-grey blanket of comfort and peace. Through his drowsy, dreamlike state he’d become aware of dim lights and hushed voices somewhere nearby. He knew he had no idea where he was or who he was with – his situational awareness had also been completely smothered by this sleepy lull of tranquility, along with that nagging little voice that cried in vain for his attention. Each time he felt he might rise above the fog, the ceiling climbed a little higher and he remained blissfully submerged in soft, lazy ambivalence.

Whee!

UGh, it’s been a week, y’all.

I’m SO SORRY for the delay on Chapter Fourteen. I’m getting ready to undergo a MUCH NEEDED breast reduction in seven days, so I’m in a blind rush to do All Of the Things before the surgery. Mostly, this means my mother will be coming to stay with me. For twelve days.

MY MOTHER IS STAYING WITH ME FOR TWELVE DAYS.

MY.

MOTHER.

So, if you’re a sane and rational adult, say, over 30… maybe child-rearing, married… home-owning… you know what I mean. That means that if my home doesn’t pass a Navy regulation white-glove exam, I could very well be in an insane asylum and my house could be on fire before this month is over. I could be in jail for murder. Or, I could spend the ENTIRE twelve days completely conked out on muscle relaxers and narcotic pain medication.

Anything could happen.

I’m also planning a Bye Bye Boobie party to say farewell to my larger, not so pleasant assets, so tonight I’ll be baking dozens upon dozens of cupcakes that will be decorated to look like boobs. So… things have been a little wild to say the least.

Also, the chapter is a bit long, but it’s because I tied up the first part of the story with Chapter Twelve, and now I’m trying to put the next half into motion, it’s taking a little set up. It’s not Chapter Twelve long, but it’s of a decent size.

I’m on the LAST section of it, though, so I should have it out hopefully on Sunday. After this surgery, I hope to do some more little one-shots, too, for the weekly challenges. I have been so sad I’ve been too busy to participate. I REALLY wanted to do the Food challenge…. dangit. I may still write that story anyway =D

I live for moments like this

THAT MOMENT WHEN YOU HAVE AN IDEA THAT, LIKE, TIES YOUR WHOLE FUCKING FIC TOGETHER WITH A NICE LITTLE BOW.

WELL, LESS LIKE AN IDEA AND MORE LIKE A VERY VERY CONVENIENT FUCKING FACT THAT YOU JUST REMEMBERED ABOUT A CERTAIN PLOT DEVICE THAT’S CENTRAL TO YOUR WHOLE PLOT AND IT’S SO, SO, SO PERFECT THAT THIS THING IS BASICALLY WRITING ITSELF AND YOU’RE LITERALLY JUST A FORCE-DAMNED VESSEL FOR THE DIVINE…………..

Srsly, I’m-a go write this shit down before I forget. UGH, I’m so glad I didn’t go to bed early…

Although the plot to this fic woke me up out of a dead sleep back in Jan when it was first being born, so…………

But what’s so awesome is PAST ME included a scene in a previous chapter that just FITS SO PERFECTLY IT’S LIKE DAMN………. WHERE DID THIS COME FROM…… THANK YOU PAST MEEEEE!!!

Okay, I’m done patting myself on the back. My ego is stroked, I’ll try to practice a little humility, LOL.

BUT DAMN. Srsly, I just flailed so hard I think I hurt my wrist.

Also? Hehe… Chapter Fourteen (which now has a name and no longer a working title) is funny. UGH. Having the best time with this one. It’s also going to be long………. but not as long as Ch12. Nothing was as long as Ch12.
