Re. "Principles" prequel

[lit_luminary]

The prequel to "Principles of Growth", tentatively titled "Interweaving", is now in progress and shaping up nicely.  No promises about posting dates, but I'll let you know as things develop.

In the meantime, enjoy this Shakespearian sonnet based on a scene from "Principles" (specifically part 13, "Desideratum").

Life Given
A shadow blots out light of autumn hues,
Mark of the foe against which House can’t win:
The opiates he can’t help but abuse
Kill as they numb him, without and within.
A warning made, a lesson long ago,
Life-force streaming at will from outstretched hands:
Perhaps he can avert the mortal blow,
If he can pay the price that deed demands.
This tenet’s one every spellcaster knows:
Nothing is given but with equal cost.
But when pain human measures overthrows,
He can’t stand by and see his father lost.
Remembered agony in sharp relief:
He’ll bring his gift to bear against that grief.

Your Housefic is very well wrirren. I honestly wouldn't expect anything else.

But I have a question:

Are you ever going to do anything with Two Roads Diverged?

If not, I accept that. If you have in fact moved on from Charmed, then that's fine. It would be nice though to inform all the people who have reviewed and supported you, many of whom are still waiting with baited breath for Chapter 29.

I'm sorry to ask you this way, but you haven't been to the other journal in over a year. All I'm asking for is confirmation of either a new Chapter(whenever that may be)or an ending to it all so that I as well as everybody else can also move on.

Thank you.

Sorry. I meant very well "written". Please excuse the typo.

Thank you for your comment; I appreciate your having followed my writing even across fandoms. As for "Two Roads Diverged", my official stand on that is hiatus, not abandonment. I'm not as into Charmed as I once was, but there's still a story to be told there, although it'll probably be reduced from the scope originally planned. (Not that there's going to be much writing of any kind once the semester starts up again, but I have begun Chapter 29 and will update my other journal as it develops.)
