When I Started December 6th, 2016
How I Lost My Shit I was updating it slowly, as it was a commissioned fic and my commissioner didn't mind me taking my time, but then I just stopped when I got overwhelmed with a bunch of other things.
How I Finished My Shit I talked to my commissioner about the fic once I signed up, and we decided the premise would work better as a series than one long fic, so basically I just had to write this one until it felt complete as an introduction to a series. So that helped me finish it faster, and now this is part 1 of "The Hidden Royal Prince" series.

Summary: He could still feel it, just under his skin - the force and the rush of it, and more than that, the way he'd let himself fall into it, resisting not at all. Letting go - that had felt better even than the clarity of anger, a release without shame or destruction, without collateral damage.
It had been a sham, of course. The collateral damage had been himself.
In A Draught of Deep Desire, a Zaubertrank made them do it. This is the aftermath.

When I Started: Once upon a time, back in 2016, I wrote a treat for smutswap which was supposed to be "magic made them do it" plus some aftermath.
How I Lost My Shit: The aftermath got away from me, and I didn't finish it for SmutSwap - or at all, because every time I went back to it I ended up with more ideas and more words (and once, a short interlude fic), but never with a workable structure.
How I Finished My Shit: I fought like hell with it this time, too, and I don't think I would have defeated it without the wipbigbang deadline, but deadline pressure did it in the end, so here we are.

Many thanks to shopfront and wojelah for their help, and to mekare for the fantastic cover artwork.
