Most people would probably have passed out at the sight of a headless corpse lying in front of them.
And if that didn't do it, then the headless corpses talking head that was sitting right next to them should have certainly done the trick. Neither of those worked for Jaune, however, as he continued to stare at the head next to him in sheer terror, his body unable to comprehend the notions of passing out or moving in any capacity.
"See, Jaune?" The head questioned as it turned to look at him. "I'm okay! Nothing to worry about!"
While he certainly wasn't freaking out anymore, his body language was telling her that he didn't entirely believe her. But that was alright, she had other ways of proving that she was okay. And the simplest and most effective one outside of talking to him? Well, getting up of course! So she quickly pushed herself up off the ground and stood back up to her full height.
This had the opposite effect she was going for.
Jaune let out another screech before he flopped backwards like a fish thrown onto dry land, and his arms began to quickly work towards dragging his body further away from her own. Why was he acting so crazy? She had already shown him that she was perfectly fine. Her body walked up to her head and quickly snatched her up off of the floor, and with a slightly moist sounding plop, she was put back together again. Although it did take a few twists and turns of her head to make sure that it was firmly in place.
"Ta-daaa!" Ruby sang as she jazzed her hands. "All patched up!"
"Wh-wha..." Jaune's stuttering at least clued her in on the fact that he was still able to speak. Hopefully that meant he was feeling better now that she was together again. "WHAT ARE YOU?!"
That wasn't the response she was hoping for. "Huh? What do you mean 'what am I' I'm Ruby!"
"Your H-HEAD CAME OFF!" Jaune nearly knocked over a chair as he continued to crawl backwards. "And it was talking! And your body got up! And... and... am I going to die?!"
"Pfff!" She blew a raspberry as she waved a hand at him. "You're not going to die, silly!" Or at least, not anymore he wasn't. "And to answer your first question, I'm a Reaper class Fae entity! A Dullahan!" She continued to watch as Jaune crawled away from her and stared at her like a deer caught in the headlights, his mouth agape and his eyes wide.
"A what?"
She tilted her head. "You don't know what a Dullahan is?" She watched as his head slowly jittered from side to side, which made her assume that he was shaking his head. "A Dullahan is a type of fairy!"
Jaune finally stopped his escape attempt and pondered her words for a moment. Since when did fairies lose their heads?! "You're not a fairy, those are supposed to be tiny and have insect wings!" He explained as he propped himself up slightly with his arms.
"Oh, I'm not THAT kind of a fairy. Those kind are really mean. I've met one before, she loved playing pranks on humans, especially this one really mean guy in a suit. And she wasn't tiny, just really, really REALLY short."
"Okay." Jaune deadpanned in response. That didn't really answer any of the questions he had at all, but at this point he didn't really care. "So can you please leave now?"
Ruby's eyes widened at that. "What? ...Leave?" She watched as he nodded a few times nervously. "B-bu-but... THAT'S NOT FAIR!" Her sudden shout startled him even more as he fell onto his back again. "You said we had an HOUR! It hasn't even been fifteen minutes!"
"T-th-that was before your HEAD FELL OFF!" He shouted back, beginning his escape strategy of crawling away once again. "I don't want you to curse me or murder me or something like that, so please just go! I don't have anything that you would want!"
"But I want to talk to you!" She stamped her foot hard on the ground, causing him to yelp. But after a few seconds, she could feel her eyes beginning to moisten with tears. With a sniffle, she began to rub at them. Maybe her family was right after all, and she had been mistaken. "I-I thought Arcs never went back on their word though..." She mumbled to herself as she remembered that small little detail in his file. Strangely enough, she noticed that things in the house went oddly silent outside of her sniffling.
"What did you just say?"
She removed her hands from her face and looked down at Jaune, the previously terrified young man now staring at her with a serious face that looked as if it were made of stone. "I-I said I thought that Arcs never went back on their word..."
"How do you know about that?" He demanded, his serious tone catching her off guard. "I've never told anybody that before, only my closest friends know that."
"O-oh yeah?" Ruby's sniffles began to die down a little as a sneaky idea made it's way into her head. "I would be more than happy to tell you everything you want to know if you would just sit down and talk with me like you promised!"
Jaune bit his lower lip for a moment and swallowed both his pride and a bit of saliva. Whatever this thing was, it couldn't be all bad if it wasn't just attacking him out of the gate. And she somehow knew his family motto, despite the fact that he'd never told anyone outside of Pyrrha, Nora and Ren. His curiosity would probably be the death of him, but at this point in time his mind was telling him not to care. "Okay."
"Yay!" Ruby hopped in place and clapped her hands together before hopping over to him. With strength that surprised Jaune, she took his arms and quickly pulled him up onto his feet. She had even gone a little overboard with her pulling, causing him to nearly fall forward into her.
What exactly Jaune was getting himself into, he had no idea. But the based on what she had said, his curiosity had been piqued to a dangerous degree. Anyone who knew of his family was something that was interesting to him, especially given the fact that he had never seen or heard of this girl in his entire life. And his family was a very social one, much to his chagrin, especially during the many family events that they had held in their old neighborhood. So how exactly did she know so much about him? "So since the couch is out, why don't we just sit at the table this time?"
"Okay!" Ruby bolted to the chair at one end of the table and immediately plopped down into it. Her hands folded over themselves on the tables surface as she seemed to jitter in her seat from excitement. It was certainly unnerving to see a person so excited to talk with him. And he was using the term "person" very loosely.
The two of them sat quietly at the table for a moment so Jaune could get his bearings. Of course, he would most likely never fully get them, so his best bet was to plunge into this conversation as soon as possible so he could get her out of his house faster. "Alright, so I guess let's talk about you first." He noticed the enthusiastic nodding that came from Ruby. "What exactly are you and why are you here?"
"I already told you, I'm a Dullahan!"
Jaune sighed before rubbing his face in frustration. "I don't know what that is though."
Ruby rolled her eyes. "I told you that too. I'm a Reaper class Fae entity." The deadpan look of questioning from Jaune informed her that she would need to further elaborate. "Jeez, humans aren't very smart, are they?" She briefly mumbled to herself before she continued on. "A Fae entity, or Fairy, can mean a lot of different things. There are fairies that are like what you said, small, wings and are magic. But there are a lot of other kinds of Fae that make explaining what they are complicated."
"Uh. Okay then... Why don't we just start with you first then?"
"Okay! I'm a Dullahan, a type of Fae that serves as a soul collector!" She failed to notice Jaune's face paling up again. "Our job consists of getting an assigned person, going to the location of where they're destined to die, and call out their name so that their soul will leave their body. Then we take it and guide it to the afterlife." Jaune bolted up out of his chair, something that startled her immensely. "What's wrong?!"
Despite the fact that it would most likely provide him with no real support, Jaune had instinctively picked up his chair and held it between himself and her. "Are- are you here to KILL ME?!"
"What? No! No, of course not!" Ruby coughed into her hand and turned her head away. "At least, not anymore..."
"NOT ANYMORE?! That implies that you WERE GOING TO!"
Ruby crossed her arms over her chest and began to pout. "Well I didn't! And I'm not going to anymore! Isn't that what matters more?"
"But you were still going to!"
"That's because it's my JOB! You weren't even going to know you were dead until I already had your soul!"
"Is that supposed to make me feel BETTER?!"
Ruby opened her mouth to respond but paused. He had a point there, she supposed that it wouldn't make anyone feel better to know that they were meant to be dead right now. "I guess you're right." She shrank down in her seat and began to idly twiddle her thumbs. "I'm sorry."
Jaune let out a groan as he slapped an open palm over his face. He couldn't really blame her for just doing her job, all things considered. Death was a natural occurrence, and anyone having to manage that on a daily basis sounded like a horrible job to have, even if you ignored the fact that you were essentially killing people. "I guess I can't really be mad. I am still alive." He paused for a moment. Why WAS he still alive if it was her job to kill him? "So why didn't you take my soul?"
"A-aah... Well..." Ruby slouched further down her chair, she was now almost completely off of it by this point. Something that made Jaune wonder if her head would stay on due to the awkward angle that it was now at. "Well uh... You helped me by saving me from that vicious beast-"
"It was a corgi."
"The vicious beast." Ruby reaffirmed. "And you found my cloak, and even returned it to me."
Jaune hummed as he put a hand on his chin. "...Not that I'm trying to look a gift horse in the mouth or anything, but those are things that any kind person would do. Do such simple things really warrant being spared from death itself?"
"Um... Well, no. But..." Ruby let out a small whine as she felt her head coming loose, to which she responded with a firm pat on the top with both her arms as she pulled herself back up into her chair. "I was told that humans don't do things like that. And well, I wanted to know why you did."
Jaune hummed again as he sat back down in his own chair. He did remember this girl mentioning something about being told differently on how humans were apparently supposed to act. "Who told you something like that?"
"Uh well, my family." She scratched at her cheek nervously for a moment before something donned on her. "Oh! And my friend, Weiss! And I think that she would know a lot about humans, since she used to be one!" Ruby blinked a few times before an important thought popped into her head. I don't think she would like you very much though, Jaune...
"Hmm... Maybe your family, and your friend, just all had some really bad experiences with a human. And then they just decided that all humans were the same." It was something that was certainly plausible, anyway. After all, humans were guilty of such actions as well.
"I..." Ruby stared down at the table, her eyes clouded with thought. "I never thought of that before. Maybe that's why we're not supposed to interact with humans anymore..."
"I wouldn't put it past us." Jaune shrugged as he spoke. "But what I'm gathering from this is that you think I'm a special case, right?" Ruby responded with a firm nod, her face suddenly shifting into a more serious tone. "Well," He continued, "I can assure you that I am not a special case. I'm like, as far from being special as possible. I'm really boring."
"Oh, I know that!"
Jaune felt his shoulders slump. "Well gee, I'm glad you already know that..." She sounded so chipper while saying it too... "Well, that's a good segway into the topic that I wanted to talk about. Why do you know so much about me?"
"Oh, that? That's an easy one!" Ruby proceeded to procure a beige folder from her cloak before promptly tossing it on the table. "All reaper class entities get a short summary on their targets!"
Jaune carefully picked up the folder and opened it up, revealing two sheets of paper inside. One was a photo of him from both the front and back, and the other was a very short summary on him as a person. The details in the document really did provide a shockingly accurate summary of his life, but there was one specific thing that he noticed at the top where his general info was placed. "Family Motto: An Arc never goes back on his/her word." It was something that provided the real proof that she was something not human. Not only did most of the Arc family do away with that motto, even when they used it they rarely spoke it aloud for others to hear. It was more of a self-imposed golden rule. One that was eventually broken.
With a "hmph," Jaune placed the papers back into the folder and carelessly tossed it back onto the table in front of Ruby. She happily slid the documents back to her before making it vanish back into the folds of her cloak once more. With a single glance at the clock that he had hanging on the wall above the table, he determined that Ruby's time was up. It was getting late too, and soon it would be dark. "Well, it looks like our time is up."
Ruby's face slowly sank into a frown. "Oh... Are you sure?"
"Yeah, sorry." He watched as the girl slowly pulled herself out of his chair and stood in front of him. "A uh... A deals a deal. But I want to say thanks for sparing my life today. I don't think I can properly describe how much that means to me."
Ruby smiled ever so slightly as she gazed up into his eyes. "Oh, no problem!" And her smile fell once more. "But uh... um... This is kind of hard for me to ask but..." She fidgeted in place for a few moments, something that made Jaune raise an eyebrow in suspicion. "Can I stay here for a little while longer?" She softly whispered, something that Jaune didn't catch.
"Huh? What did you say?"
"I said... can I please stay with you for a little while longer?" Her whisper was still just as audible as the last.
"Ruby, you have to speak-"
"CAN I STAY WITH YOU PLEASE?" She practically shouted before slapping a hand over her mouth with a small "meep" of embarrassment.
Jaune stared at her blankly for a few moments before a hand went to the back of his neck. "Uh. Wow, um... How do I say this... uh..." There really was no easy way of denying this girl who was supposedly death incarnate, was there? Maybe he was destined to die today after all. "No."
Both of Ruby's arms dropped down to her sides as her eyes began to let loose the water works. "Oh no. No no, don't do that." Jaune's objections however, failed to staunch the flow of tears that burst forth from the girl. Stay strong, Jaune. He thought to himself, You will NOT be persuaded by tears! She's some kind of headless DEATH FAIRY. She HAS to go!
"Puh-PLEEEAAASSSEEE!" Ruby's sobbing bounced from one of Jaune's ears to the other, his defenses slowly crumbling. "I don't- I don't- I don't have anywhere else to GO! Just for one night, I swear! And then I'll really be gone for good!"
"C'mon, can't you just like, go back to the spirit world or something?" Jaune whined back, hoping that she had some way of getting home.
"I'm not strong enough with my magic for something like that! And the nearest approved gateway back into the spirit world is on the other side of the city!" Ruby paused for a moment and let out a gasp. "What if that beast comes back? I can't, I WON'T walk across this city alone again and risk that!"
"Agh..." That was it. He couldn't take it any more. "FINE!"
Ruby's sobbing stopped almost immediately. "F-fine?"
Jaune lowered his head, dejected and defeated, as he pointed towards the second hallway that branched off from the living room. "Down that hall, the room on the right is the guest bedroom. And straight ahead from that is the guest bathroom."
"Re-really?" The shimmer of hope in Ruby's eyes was nearly a blinding light to him.
"Really." He sighed. "Just... please don't kill me in my sleep or something... And tomorrow I'll take you back to this 'gateway' so you don't have to walk alone."
"Yay!" Ruby hopped over to the boy and gave him a rather forceful hug. She either ignored or didn't feel his struggles to escape her grasp as she cheerfully picked him up off of the ground. "You're the best human ever, Jaune! I promise that you'll be my best friend forever, I'll never leave you!"
"Wh-what did you just say?" Jaune managed to choke the question out in between gasps.
"Oh. Um..." She let go of him, nearly sending him tumbling to the ground. "I said that I'll remember today forever, the memories won't leave." Without another word she spun around and skipped hastily towards her room- the guest bedroom, before turning around and offering a final thanks before shutting the door behind her.
As she turned and glanced around at the empty room, save for a closet, a dresser and a bed, she pumped her fist. She felt a little bad about using her tears as a weapon against such a nice person, but there was so much more of this world that she wanted to see, and with no human currency or contacts it would be hard to do so under normal circumstances.
With a content sigh, Ruby flopped onto the bed that she would call hers for the forseeable future. She did still feel a little bad about using Jaune like this, but she DID already do him the biggest favor she possibly could by sparing his life. Not that she would dangle that over his head as if it made her immune to any objections he would have, she would just have to work a little extra to convince him to let her stay as a long-term resident. If Yang found out I was staying with a boy she would...
Ruby paused her thoughts for a moment to take in what she was only just now realizing. Her family wouldn't be very happy when they found out that she essentially ditched her job to live in the human world for awhile. A job that her mother had worked hard to make sure she had gotten. In fact, Ruby was pretty sure that her family would be out for her blood when they found out about this. Well, maybe not her blood, but she would definitely be receiving a harsh punishment.
She frowned a little for a moment, but her frown turned into a steeled look of determination. It was HER family that had lied to her all these years about humans and the real world. And now that she was in a position to learn the truth about it, she wasn't going to pass it up for anything. They would just have to deal with the fact that she wasn't going to be coming home for awhile, whether they wanted to or not. They would just have to accept that she wanted to befriend humans and learn more about them.
And if they tried to stop her and bring her home? Well, she wouldn't let them. Because she knew that if that happened, she would never be allowed into the mortal realm ever again. And that was something that she didn't want happening.
But she might not even get that far if Jaune didn't allow her to stay. He was the priority right now, and getting on his good side would probably be her best bet. But the best part about that bet was that she was already intending on doing that in the first place, so that just made everything easier! So long as Jaune was around, she would hopefully have a roof over her head. And she would be able to stay in the mortal realm until she was satisfied.
But that was all for another day, and after all the excitement from this one, she was quite tired. With a small yawn, Ruby struggled to get off of her bed so she could turn the light off. Once she had accomplished the nearly impossible feat, she kicked her boots off, threw the covers up and dove back into the warmth of the bed.
And with a content sigh, she fell asleep.
Jaune woke up in a panicked sweat.
His eyes groggily gazed around the room, and the gears in his head began to turn at a rapid pace. Was that all just some kind of fever dream? He thought to himself as he pulled his body out of bed. There was only one real way of finding out, so he quietly opened his door and snuck out into the hallway.
When he approached the door to the guest room, his hand slowly wrapped around the handle and began to turn. With a small and quiet creak, the door slowly opened and revealed a completely empty room with the bed neatly made. That was good evidence that everything that had happened yesterday was a dream, but it wasn't concrete yet. So Jaune steeled himself as he turned towards the guest bathroom, revealing that the door was wide open and the room was dark.
Jaune let out a massive sigh in relief. So it really was just a dream after all. Thank god. It would be quite the dream to tell Pyrrha when she came by, that was for sure. But for now, his thoughts shifted to a more important matter. The matter that was his stomach being empty. He was so hungry that he was pretty sure he didn't even eat dinner last night before he went to bed, so a big breakfast this morning would surely help him. So without further delay, he practically rushed into the kitchen and began to sift through his cabinets for something to eat. There, he found mostly cereal and a few bananas. But he distinctly remembered buying some pancake mix yesterday, so he could probably-
"Good morning, Jaune!"
"AAAAGH!" Jaune nearly did a backflip as he shrieked in terror, turning to see the same person he had dreamed about standing in the small arch that separated the kitchen from the dining room. "IT WASN'T A DREAM?!"
"Of course not, silly!" Ruby giggled as she waved off his terrified outburst. "I'm as real as they get!"
"I... uh...ri-right. Of course. Sorry."
"No problem, Jaune! Is there any food though, I'm pretty hungry."
Jaune felt his eyebrow raise slightly. "You can eat?"
"Well, duh! I have a mouth, don't I?" To emphasize this, Ruby opened her mouth with a loud "aah" and pointed to it. "So, I can eat! And I'm hungry!"
Great. Now she's going to leech food off of me too. Oh well, stay strong, Jaune. It's only for today. His thoughts were interrupted by the growling of both his stomach and hers. "Alright, uh, I think I've got some cereal here in the cabinet. Are you okay with Pumpkin Pete?"
"Pumpkin Pete? I LOVE that cereal!" Ruby cheered as she hopped into the kitchen... And promptly started to slide all around. "Wo-woaah! What's wrong with the floor?!" She cried as she fought to keep her balance. But her legs continued to slip and slide as if she were walking on ice.
Jaune glanced down at the girls legs and noticed that she had taken off her boots, revealing her stocking-clad feet. "Oh. That's because you've got stockings on, but you really shouldn't be sliding around that mu-" He was cut short when Ruby crashed into him, her body having fully lost it's balance.
Without even thinking, Jaune threw his arms around her small frame and hugged her tightly to his own chest in order to make sure she didn't tumble to the floor. It took the two of them to realize what had happened, and almost as soon as they did their eyes locked. Both parties could feel their cheeks heating up as they continued to stare at each other, with neither one of them wanting to make a move or say anything at all.
At least, not until Ruby felt her head come loose from all the excitement.
With a yelp, she watched as the world around her spun rapidly as she braced herself for a cold and hard impact against the floor. But instead, she felt Jaune's hand latch onto her neck, while his fingers went into a rather uncomfortable position down, or up in this case, her throat.
Jaune's reflexes had been fast enough to catch the tumbling head of his house guest, something that was purely instinctual from years of catching products as they fell off the store shelves. But almost immediately upon grabbing the Dullahan's head, his fingers found themselves in a rather soft, warm and wet situation. He blinked a few times before glancing down at the head he was now touching and noticed that half his hand was inside the gigantic hole in her neck. And his face turned a rather ugly shade of green as he felt his empty stomach churn.
Ruby responded with a loud cough. "Ja-Jaune, please don't stick your fingers in there, it feels really weird!" She glanced up at the blondes face and noticed that the shade of green had turned into an even deeper shade that resembled the colors of the leaves on the trees outside. And upon seeing that he made no motions to actually reattach her head to her body, she finally made the move to push off of his chest and grab her own head from out of his hands. With another squish, she made sure her head was properly affixed to her neck this time before blushing fiercely. "Thank you for catching me, Jaune. Uh, both times."
"Don't... mention it." Jaune managed to croak out before he stumbled into the dining room and slammed against the table. "I... I uh I'm gunna go the bathroom for a bit just wait here." He mumbled rapidly as he sprinted to his bathroom and slammed the door shut, leaving Ruby alone in the dining room.
With a disgruntled pout, Ruby plopped down onto one of the chairs and began to tug at her stockings. "Stupid kitchen floor. Making me slip like I'm on ice..." She began to rant as she finally pulled both of her legs free of the stockings that she loved so much before tossing said fabric to the ground. With another pout, she folded her arms and simply sat in the chair, patiently. At least, until her stomach began to growl once more. Ruby leaned forward and glanced into the hall, noting that Jaune was taking a particularly long time in the bathroom. I'm sure he's okay with me just getting the cereal myself. She concluded as she pushed herself up from the table and walked back into the kitchen.
"Ah!" Ruby yelped as soon as her bare foot touched the kitchen tile. "Cold cold cold!" She shouted as she hopped over to the kitchen cabinets and threw them open. Grabbing the box of cereal quickly, she threw open the other cabinets and quickly fished out a bowl and a spoon before dashing back over to the table. "Jeez..." Ruby mumbled to herself aloud. "That floor is as cold as Weiss's entire house! Why would you even enchant a floor with ice magic like that?!"
Ruby soon shrugged the thought off as her stomach demanded attention once again. She quickly poured her cereal into the bowl and dug her spoon into it before realizing that she had made the mistake of forgetting the milk. But she wasn't going back into that kitchen without SOME kind of protective footwear on, so she decided to bite the bullet for once and eat the cereal dry. And it was still just as delicious as it always was!
Once she was finished, Ruby let out a content sigh as she began to put her stockings back onto her feet. She would need them if she wanted to put the box back and put the dishes in the sink, where dirt dishes belonged. But just as she finished putting her footwear back on, she heard a noise that startled her.
There was a knock at Jaune's front door.
Ruby sat there quietly for a few moments, staring at the door that created the offending noise. She observed it for a few more seconds before the knocking came once again, this time louder than before.
The knocking at the door made her a little anxious for some reason. But she couldn't just let whoever it was stand outside all day. So with a small bounce, she hopped to her feet and quickly made her way towards the door. She nearly slipped on the tiled floor of the kitchen again as she ran, something that she would have to rectify eventually. Perhaps she could find a pair of slippers some time later today. But in the meantime, she was able to stabilize herself by grabbing onto the doorknob. And without thinking any further, she flung open the front door.
"Hi! How can I help you today?" She greeted cheerfully, only to pause briefly when she noticed that she was staring into a bronze colored tank top. She blinked a few times before glancing upwards, her eyes meeting two emerald green pools that shimmered with confusion as they glanced back down at her. She noticed that the girl in front of her had fiery red hair that was tied back into a pony tail, which was almost as long as the she was tall! "Oh, your hair is pretty!" Ruby bumbled out as she smiled brightly. The tall redhead seemed confused by her compliment, or perhaps maybe it was the fact that she might have been expecting Jaune?
"I, um... thank you?" The redhead backed a way a step before glancing up over Ruby's head. "Uh, is a man named Jaune in by any chance?"
"Jaune? Yep! He's in the bathroom right now! Are you here to see him too?" Ruby paused for a brief moment, putting a finger up to her chin. "Who are you, anyway?"
"Oh. I'm sorry, I didn't even introduce myself. My name is Pyrrha." The redhead smile and held out a hand, and as Ruby grabbed it and shook, the two of them couldn't help but notice the sizeable difference in their appendages. Pyrrha's hands were even bigger than Jaune's! "And you are?"
"My name is Ruby! Ruby Rose!"
"RUBY!" Jaune's shout came from behind her, causing her to spin around so quickly that her head nearly came loose. "What are you-" He paused for a moment when he glanced over Ruby's head. "Pyrrha!" He shouted before slapping his hands on either side of his head in horror. "Our tennis day!"
"Yes, that's why I'm here." The redhead chuckled as she held up her racket. "You said that this complex had a court, right?"
"Uh yeah, it does." Jaune gulped nervously as his eyes drifted between Ruby's smiling face and Pyrrha's. "But first let's come in and talk!"
Pyrrha's smile seemed to strain itself a little as she glanced down at Ruby. "Yes, I'd imagine that you have quite a bit to talk to me about." The smaller girl named Ruby quickly moved out of her way and allowed her to enter.
Maybe today is the day that I was actually supposed to die... Was the thought that drifted through Jaune's head as he began to run through a number of different ways to explain this situation to his friend.
Author's Notes
I have a brief announcement about my future scheduling.
I'll be trying out a new one! Yay!
My current schedule is one that follows a two week downtown in-between chapters. And generally, I upload two chapters at the end of those two weeks, one for this fic, and one for Werewolf Among Us.
However, with this new schedule I'm still keeping the two week downtime between each fics chapter, but instead of releasing them both on the same day every two weeks, instead they will alternate week to week.
As an example, this week is Head over Heels, whereas next week is Werewolf Among Us, then the week after is Head Over Heels and so on and so on.
With this new schedule, I hope to maintain the same time frame that I have while also giving my readers something to read each week instead of just making you all wait the full two weeks.
While I'm not certain I will keep this schedule permanently, I am fairly confident in trying to do so and hope that you will bear with me as I do! Thank you!
