I can see what you mean but I just saw this as from Waverly so it was the gender she knows.

Rest is important in all things. We will be here slowly dying of suspense, but we were doing that anyway as we wait for the official release. 😉

Hey guys, I'm adding this to the author note as well, but I have to postpone today's (Thursday's) chapter until tomorrow (Friday.) I'll post at my usual time in the evening, between 5:00-7:00 UTC-7. I had to take a rest day earlier this week, and it put me behind. I hoped to catch up but I haven't managed it. I can feel my brain turning to ooze, which is not conducive to good writing. Since I want to put out quality work, I'll need a little more time.

I hope not radical honesty. The secret keeping is a big part of the joy of this story.

El

That was the time when the last chapter started, not when it finished. Siobhan had been to sleep and spent much of the day after brewing potions which is why there's a gap

LEMON

With S wanting to build up external power I can see her moving away from Oliver to her own cult thing. The only thing keeping them together is their mutual benefit. I can see her cult gaining power and displacing the need for Oliver's org.

The time might be off as according to the date and time it has been 23 hours and 45 min from the time Ana leaves the room to rejoin the group and when she entered the room to speak with Sebastian it was day 26 at 5:15pm now it is 5pm on day 27

I wonder what she's going to tell Anna & Damien? Do the new possibilities she's opening up to include radical honesty? That is such an exciting idea! Really though I'm just happy to see Siobhan happy. The last few chapters have been great for that! After realizing that she can free cast and making peace with Legion she's the happiest we've ever seen her! Admittedly that's a low bar, but a pleasant change of pace after how dark "a builder of dreams" became. The other thing I want to know is whether she is having regular dreams or magical raven dreams (facilitated by people's belief in the Raven Queen)? We've seen a magical raven dream force its way past her dreamless sleep spell before I wonder if she's going to get more of those as she takes fewer precautions against dreaming.

Damien was adding food to Sebastien's plate, it indicates a continuation of what we last saw him doing. Damien frowned, taking the seat next to Sebastien and beginning to fill her plate with food. “Don’t just eat soup. Have some meat and vegetables, too.” ... “Enough gold to buy himself a nicer carriage, and enough fame that more of the women he approaches are likely to recognize his face,” Damien said, still adding food to her plate. Also, for the relevance of Invictus, I'd recommend checking out the little behind the scenes look Azalea gives us in the alcove thread!

Keid

"Waverly cleared her throat and asked Sebastien if he wanted to come out with them to catch aurora shrimp next time" Pretty sure, "he," should be, "she," here. She settled her mind and spoke plainly. “Want to become the Raven Queen.” Needs the word, "I," added to the beginning of her sentence. For a second I thought it was a question and he was offering him use of the persona.

Erika

Hmm, so we got Siobhan, Sebastien, and Raven queen. What does that spell? SSR! She is preparing to sieze the means of production.

Mammy'aon Diciple

One of the characters referring to Rhett and his female conquest hopes is labeled as she but is noted as Damian speaking. Is this him being mislabeled or was another character supposed to say that line? Otherwise great chapter, though I question the title invictus meaning "not conquered"

Red_Moon

God, I understand why involving Oliver makes sense since the connection to him will be immensely helpful for that goal, but I can't help but continue feeling uneasy around him. Sure as long as he wants to help her, he's great, but it seems almost inevitable that there will eventually come a point when his and Sionhan's interests no longer aligned, which is when he will turn on her. Not maliciously, and probably with much regret, but turning on her all the same

kennedy steel

love how ominous and foreboding her new goals are. gives a heightened sense of risk that is so engaging. excited to see sebastien try to act normal in front of lacer…

Kate Yen

When did she transform? She's Siobhan in the last paragraph, but was Sebastien before going to bed, and i can't find any mention of her changing appearance

Jeremy Effinger

Interesting, she never really embraced the whole raven queen thing. Just Sebastion and herself. Now that she has three different distinct wills suddenly she is ready to embrace another persona.

gotag

especially the distended stomach bit

El

Also "One branch of her Will continued to think things over while the other two ensure her potions retained the highest level of perfection she could attain" ensure > ensured

Emil Takman

Am I the only one who's nervus about how much food she is eating? After the last arc this seems ominus.

TFTC!

ShinyBlu

This is such a cute chapter.

Alex

“Want to become the Raven Queen.” Think there is a missing word “I” “I want to become the Raven Queen.” Thanks for the chapter looking forward to next week.
