Prompt & Author's Notes: Again, for the Thon Prompt 33: Strangled by the red string. This scene didn't really fit with the last chapter or the next, but it's not long enough to be it's own chapter, so it's 8.5. I feel like I have the weirdest chapter numbering conventions for this story. :P As always, betaed by
asuka14.
Further Author's Notes: Okay, so here's the thing—before now, this story was written out; I just needed to type and edit it. Now, however, I'm actively writing, so I'm going to need more time between chapters for most (if not all) of the rest of the story. So my question for anyone reading this is: would you rather I post a full chapter every other week, or I post every week, but a smaller, half chapter, like I'm posting today? Thank you in advance for your input, and I hope you enjoy this week's smaller offering. :)
