I wrote the final scene of Spaceship Rental. As per gedit, the wordcount for the file is 62 488 words. (This contains some hundreds of words of misc notes, plus gedit counts "even-handed" as two words while AO3 counts it as one.)

It's not the complete draft yet – I count at least 8 [scene here]s – but it's a start. Have an impromptu tour of the sausage factory!

Here's my top-level general notes:
Fixlog:
- more Da Qing, more mentions of ZXC, esp at start
- startish: ZYL has convo with ZXC abt YZ
- SW has two urgent whispered conversations with Li Si, edit one out
- add more Li Si and science fictionality to latter half
- fix initial situation to be more canonical
- impassioned speech on mutualism


And this is the first of the [scene]s:
[office sex]
ZYL: I heard Professor Shen would like a ride?
"Indeed. In more ways than one," Shen Wei replied. "If Chief Zhao would be so kind as to remove every single article of clothing on him?"
[SW rides ZYL into oblivion, then round 2 with ZYL on hands and knees]
[missed you + Regent being a fuckwit]


...but let me post the entire fic:
The woman sitting on the SID couch was young, wore white tai chi clothes, and there was something very much off about her. Upon seeing Zhao Yunlan arrive, she rose. "Greetings. I come from the Rigel Spaceship Rental Corporation. You appear to have crashed one of our spaceships into your planet."

[insert rest of fic here]

The Sun shone warmly above him. Everything would be fine.

(Details about especially the ending might still change a lot.)




In Bingo news, I'm one prompt off from getting the one remaining Hallow (Create a fanwork: Team) and nine off from blackout. I have a vague idea for Waiting, but unless major inspiration strikes, I'll hold a moratorium on filling more squares until I have a complete draft of Spaceship Rental or it's November.

Congrats on reaching the end!

"If Chief Zhao would be so kind as to remove every single article of clothing on him?"

Hee! That is an excellent sentence. :D
