Given how TOTSMOV41’s plot has evolved since I’ve added two scenes, there is some good news: Rhian now has a speaking role in real time (not only in a flashback), and Dot and Anadil get a short conversation amongst themselves to air their suspicions about whether Rafal is a zombie or a demon. Rafal will probably eavesdrop on them, and that happens while he is being trailed by Hester, even if Hester doesn’t know he knows she is spying on him.

@CueberriezForever English is my first language and I read a lot, so I've likely been influenced by other authors' styles.

@CueberriezForever In this context, it means adding your name with an "@," so the message would be addressed to you when I reply.

I've written an alternate (happier) ending to Fall of SGE in which both brothers are alive and well!

Additionally, regarding TOTSMOV41 (The One True School Master of Vault 41), there's a couple things to note about the premise and the changes I've made to canon, for context:
          
          1. The fic will disregard Fall as canon, yet will acknowledge Rise.
          
          2. There are several canon elements I'm NOT using. The Rafal is the fic is him from Rise, and ALSO from TLEA. I decided to only acknowledge Rise but not Fall because I didn't want to work with the identity-swap twist. So Rafal is Rafal is Rafal in this case. I will draw from both his Rise characterization and his TLEA characterization.
          
          3. Later in the fic, Rise Rhian only has minor appearances, and is present in Rafal's psyche, but he will not actually be a character until I write a possible sequel, if I ever do reach that point. So, you can assume Rhian was moderately "Good" to grey on the morality scale, and that Rafal was the one who ultimately committed the fratricide.
          
          4. I've decided not to acknowledge the OTK parentage twist. To clarify, Rafal will have no relation to Japeth, simply because it felt out of character for HIM to have children with a woman he loathed, even if it may have been "less" out of character for the CANON Rhian falsely disguised as "Rafal." I personally thought it contradicted his characterization, so Japeth's placeholder father, who probably won't even be mentioned in the story, will be the Green Knight, to explain his magical prowess as the Snake.
          
          Otherwise, for the most part, this fic is alternate continuity "canon," and diverges at some point during OTK.
          
          I've tried to set the stage and eradicate confusion as best as I could above, but if anyone would like me to demystify anything about the fic, my writing process, or anything else at all, feel free to send questions to me! Yet, I might not be able to answer everything, for various reasons, including limiting excessive spoilers, so please keep that in mind.

***ANNOUNCEMENT***
          To anyone who doesn't already know: I'm writing a longfic!
          
          Said longfic will involve Rafal being resurrected, and lead up to an alternate continuity of plot events, all set during One True King. Thus, its title will be: The One True School Master of Vault 41. However, the title may or may not be a bit of a misnomer, so I might just end up subverting your expectations after all.
          
          In the fic, there will be a form of "psyche travel," or an approximation of time travel, using Dovey's crystal ball like in ACOT, the arson of a certain Wizard Tree to look forward to, and some offbeat, unprecedented action taken by the Storian. Of course, Agatha and Rafal will bicker A LOT while Sophie plays the role of mediator. And, oh, Rafal will be tortured, slightly...
          
          Also, the fic will not be published for a very long time, so don't expect to see it anytime soon. I'm still on draft zero/the outline/script. However, I do post writing updates and excerpts from the draft on tumblr, if anyone would like to find out more.
