It Takes Time: Chapter 1 & 2
Hi everyone! This is Raqi (formerly LightOfMiquella) here to announce that, after spending several subjective eternities in gay editor jail, I have now finished editing the second draft of arc 1 of my HDG story: It Takes Time (To Be Properly Taken Apart)!
It Takes Time is an interactive story-ARG hybrid fic (translation: it's HDG homestuck everyone who reads it keeps fucking calling it that) that follows the journey of Raqi Marr, a xenosophont from an undomesticated species known as the landamaeri, as she departs from her home society to seek out the Affini Compact. Shortly after arriving, she accidentally kidnaps one of the affini, and is forced to socialise with her; a rather unfortunate turn of events which will ultimately result in the domestication of 10 billion people.
But before that can happen, our little gay bird has lots to do! She must learn to navigate her new un-planned-for relationship with the homosexual spaghetti inhabiting her ship, and figure out how to endure being around the affini without giving in to the temptation to let herself get drugged and hypnotised into forgetting why she came to Compact space. Will she manage to remain independent, or will she succumb to the allure of domestication and drag all of her loved ones down with her?
Read part 1 here!:
There is also an Ao3 version; however I don't recommend it, as it's lacking all of the interactive elements due to an inability for me to port them onto the site. You can, however, use it to comment on the story if you'd like. The Ao3 version can be found below:
