singedsunI happened on a whim to pick up a fic request for The Exorcist TV show (which I love but had never written for). It was supposed to be about 10k words and I figured with the short time I had I could still probably make that work. I had about two-ish weeks to write it (and then an extra week or two for edits and beta) and yet I managed to completely overestimate the amount of story I had and the words I could write it in. So this story ended up being the fastest twenty thousand words I've EVER written and even with that short time frame I felt like it was also the easiest story I've ever written. Like Nanowrimo words have nothing on this thing.
I also haven't written anything quite so ambitious in a really long time so be able to do this in a short time frame felt really great.
Anyway I'm pretty proud of it.

Chapters: 1/1
Fandom: The Exorcist (TV)

Summary: It's nine months after Seattle. Tomas and Marcus are on the road again, without Mouse, and definitely not discussing what transpired in Seattle. Marcus watches for any crack in Tomas' armor while they help a local priest check in on old friends who may need help. A big tent revival and an aging evangelist forces them to confront the past.
