i don't know how you post-as-you-go long fic writers do it because i just went back 50,000 words and retconned all of chapter 2 in a 25+ chapter fic and i sure as fuck couldn't have done it if i were publishing it chapter by chapter.
Except that you can. I've gone back and fixed things in previous chapters. I'm gonna do it for one of my incomplete docs here shortly because I madeup a street name in a game and realized just now that there is an actual name for it.
If you're using AO3 it is meant to be a living archive. That means the fic doesn't have to stay perfectly the same since the day you post it. I make grammatical or small word changes to my fic all the time when I go back and read them for fun. Teeny stuff.
But big changes are okay too. Adding in some foreshadowing. Removing a paragraph that no longer makes sense. Make a note to your audience if you think you should or just don't address it whichever. Some people may act like these kinds of changes are bad. But it's your work. It should look how you want it.
And it's genuinely a thing that happens in real publishing too. There are cases where authors on second or third reprints will change some things.

Cory Booker has been talking in the senate for over 20 hours now
He’s not filibustering. He’s protesting the current administration.
For those of you from outside the US or those of you who didn’t pay attention in government class, in the US senate there’s really no limit to the amount of time a senator can speak. So sometimes if they don’t want a bill to pass they just. Don’t stop talking. To hopefully get past the deadline to vote on a bill. This is called filibustering.
Senator Cory Booker isn’t doing that. He’s disrupting “the normal business of the United States Senate for as long as I am physically able”. Just in protest. This doesn’t usually happen.
He’s less than 20 minutes away from breaking the record of the longest speech given on the senate floor
Cory Booker has officially broken Strom Thurmond’s record for longest speech on the senate floor and he’s still going
For those of you wondering what he’s been talking about this whole time, his staff wrote down a bunch of stuff for him to read like stories from people across the political spectrum opposed to what the administration is doing. He’s also been telling personal anecdotes about meeting important civil rights leaders and other democratic senators have been pausing him for “questions” but the questions have been as long as a small speech and have both served the purpose of giving him a second to sit down and updating him on the news that he’s been missing while he’s been talking.

For anyone who might be tempted to visit Steak 'n Shake in the near future, perhaps don't. I haven't seen anything about them in years, to be honest, but this happened across my fb feed and just... yuck.
Apparently they've swapped to frying their fries in beef tallow in order to support Robert Kennedy, and today they offered free fries to Tesla drivers, to entice Tesla drivers to come to their shops.
I don't really go to this restaurant, as there's none near me, but I sure as hell won't be going to one ever again now.

This is a good reason to have scientific studies saying stuff like, "On average, trans people report happiness when they transition with loving family support and unhappiness when people dump acid on their head," like, yes it is intuitive, yes we knew that, but someday the study that is being passed around under the heading "water is wet," is going to be used to guide a court decision. And sometimes, when the the weather is fair and God smiles, it will result in some judge pounding the anti-trans arguments absolutely flat with a level of precise violence heretofore only seen in people making schnitzels, and that is a thing of beauty.

Telvar followed Mags back to the common room and quickly scarfed down the rest of his fruit so he could take his dishes over to the sink, where Keith was still doing dishes. "Add 'em to the pile," Keith said, not looking at Telvar. "Look, kitten, I'm sorry," Telvar said, setting his dishes next to the sink.

We all agree she deserves the Knives Out treatment where she get's dozens of seasons with each season covering a new case right!?

Telvar followed Mags out into the hallway, just far enough that the others couldn't overhear, though she was careful not to lead them out of earshot should someone need to call them back. "You need to stop trying to pick a fight with Keith," she said bluntly, pivoting to face him. "Wha-I didn't-I wasn't-" "You did and you were and you need to stop."

Junior didn't even realize he was going to speak until the words were already coming out of his mouth. "What about the far pasture at Brookscale?" he asked. Everyone in the field turned to look at him, and Junior suddenly felt very small.

"Telvar, a word?" Mags said, standing up from the table with a sigh. "Can't I finish my breakfa-" "Now!" "Alright, alright, I'm coming," Telvar said, raising his hands in surrender.

"With the number of dragons already sick, it will be crowded as it is, and we can't rely on more dragons not getting sick, not with the way this is going." "We could add in this field," Frances suggested, but her tone was dubious even as she said it. "That would kinda defeat the purpose of having them all in one place, what with having to go through town to get from camp to camp," Rooster said.

"I can stay with Russell," Keri offered, deciding she didn't want to know what 'or worse' could possibly be in this context. "I'll give you the code for the cryo-storage, but I think another thing that should be added to the 'to do' list is getting medical supplies, more than the basic first aid stuff we have here, I mean." "Telvar and I can do that after moving Nathan's body then," Mags said.
