Defection - Once Upon a Time Affair - Feb 1st

Grateful thanks go to [livejournal.com profile] duckys_lady for acting as beta on this piece. It got away from me and went over 4000 words. I lose all belief in myself if a story goes to long for me. (4k words is not long to many, but for me it's epic.)

Click the entirely unrelated pic to go to AO3.

That's why it got away from me. There were certain plot points which had to be put in, and I had to allow the story time to get to those points, so it definitely wouldn't have worked as a shorter piece. I'm just glad it worked out how I wanted it, and that it flowed well.

Did I have you fooled at the beginning, or did you realise early what was happening?

Yeah I figured out what was happening. I have a WIP with Napoleon turning traitor so there's a similar thought process, but different enough from what you did in your story. Eventually (like so many others) I'll finish it. lol!
Writing has just gotten away from me!
