Future of Dueling Hearts
🕑 Added 2023-09-25 22:16:16 +0000 UTCAfter the reaction on AO3 to the last chapter I posted there (2 chapters ago here). I'd like to get you're opinion on what I should do with the fic.
People are geniunely upset with the Lily/Daphne stuff, and since you guys are two chapters deeper in than everyone else, Id like to hear your opinions.
The way I see it I have three options.
Option #1: massive re-write. I have about 103k words written on this fic, so it would take some doing and I couldn't give you a timeline on who I would start posting new chapters again. I would make it my top priority, but it would definitely take a while.
Option #2: small re-write. Add a scene in that chapter or a later one where Harry and Daphne discuss how they'd both like to see each other with other women, and the only reason they hide Lily from each other is because they're afraid the other will not jive with the incest angle. I can see this one getting hated on for feeling like just a tacked on fix.
Option #3: just roll with it, keep posting the story as is. The he/she doesn't know stuff continues on, but its never really that tense, and gets resolved with no drama, but I understand if people just don't want to read that or find it cheap.
So, I leave it open to everyone in the comments. If you have any other suggestions, feel free to post them.

Option 3 and 2 are fine. But i kinda want to why lily sleeping with daphne. It just seem sad that lily is just using her. I mean its not even guaranteed that harry would marry daphne . Unless lily going to try seduce all the women that harry going to date if daphne and him break up?

I've decided on option two, and the issue will be adressed next chapter. It's just going to be a slight shift of the story, and hate it or love it, I'm not going to pay it any more mind

People on A03 are also probably on a hair-trigger because of what happened with Otherworld so anything that’s happening behind Harry’s back or even looks remotely like cheating/cucking is gonna get an overreaction 😂
