It feels practically impossible to get pure internal warmth and the feeling of "this is such heavy lore" with one simple image.
One simple side.
I guess that what makes both purple characters special in their own way.

Into the pit once again.
Until I get some stuff done.
Tomoino
After much consideration.
No.
I won't be having the extended story chapters, 5 and beyond be part of another story.
That's worth more trouble than it's worth.
Even if no one's reading the extended story chapters.
(It ain't worth)
I'll just keep the chapters as is.
But I will have Tales from Archive be combined into ADS itself.

* A Doting Sensei: Life of Variabilium
(Alternatively A Doting Sensei: Vita Variabilium)
Taking place after the events of the original story, Sensei ends up suddenly having a nightmare about Igusa Haruka, where he witnesses her unleashing destruction upon Kivotos before she kills Sensei himself.
While seemingly only a mere dream, its presence becomes a variable, putting a shift in the balance of life for not only Sensei himself but other students who have become aware of it.
How will they handle this matter that is beyond their comprehension?

* The original ADS story doc will only now contain the original four chapters.
This new one (which is replacing Tales From the Archive) will host Chapters 6 and beyond, keeping the original, simple chapters in one doc and the Mari/Sisterhood OC scenes and characters' focused chapters in another doc.
Better to all have no attention than only some to have and some not.

I folded.
But I also did not.

A Doting Sensei (my Blue Archive fanfic) now only contains the original four chapters that I had published before Chapter 5: A Dream or a Reality? came to be.
Which had introduced Haruka Terror and the darker story line, atmosphere and also larger scope of the world that the fanfic that wasn't intended from the beginning.
1: Students and Duties
2: Students, Duties and Conflict
3: Reassurance
4: Step-by-Step
Chapters 1-4 is essentially a complete, self-contained story. Chapters 5 and beyond does work alongside it, but the original four can exist without it.
And those who care enough for its expanded story (the chapters that were once part of the story alongside the original four chapters) can see it in another doc.
Once I get to it, that is.
That being done, A Doting Sensei is now officially a completed story.
Tomoino
For a personal ease of mind to be freed from certain expectations of readers.
I am planning on changing on how and where A Doting Sensei's stories are available to read.
The original four chapters:
1: Students and Duties
2: Students, Duties and Conflict
3: Reassurance
4: Step-by-Step
These will remain in the original story doc, being just:
A Doting Sensei.
Chapter 5: A Dream or a Reality? is technically part of the original story since its not something I planned and it was made during a time where I didn't think I could do this from it.
Chapters 3 and 4 weren't planned, but they were fair in tone of what I had in mind for ADS.
The same can't be said for Chapter 5, which has a tone and story is not something I planned in the slightest.
Chapter 5 and everything else will be in some other kind of "Extended Story Doc" which has Chapter 6 and so forth.
With this, those that like the original story when it was just Haruka can enjoy that and have a "complete" story by just reading those five chapters and won't have to worry about the chapters that focus on Mari and my Sisterhood OCs, Miya and Arin.
Because, when you think about it.
Chapters 1-4 told a complete self-contained story.
And Chapter 5 and beyond adds a layer that is, to an extent, not necessary.
Still canon regardless, Chapter 5 and those beyond.
Maybe call it "folding".
But again, personally, for an ease of mind.
I'm gonna separate them.
So I don't have to worry about people being "forced" to read what they don't want to read.
