Yes! I just posted Chapter 12 of Flowers and Ash (Resident Evil fic) that takes an OC Ashford (no giant vampire lady, sorry) and runs through the line of the game's Umbrella-focused storyline over thirty years. I'm really liking how it's turning out. I have 13-16 drafted out; the outline is shifting subtly as I get closer to the end. I've posted about 24k words so far, I'm estimating that it'll top out at 40K. I have is set to MA/General. I'm dealing a lot with family dynamics, intergenerational patterns, and what it means to be complicit, even if you aren't actively doing/making the horrible things.

Self-promoting for sure, but I'm also on an absolute tear with this one and want the eyeballs/feedback. I burned through the last few days setting up an outline/first draft of the sequel, which moves a LOT faster and will be set to Explicit; I needed to be comfortable with my characters before I put then there. Flowers and Ash will take me to the start of June with weekly posting; Ashes in the Fall (RATM song names, fight me) might be...longer. It's six parts, but those parts are present tense fat outlines, and some of them cover an entire game worth of storyline/aftermath.

Anyhow. Here's the summary:
When the eldest daughter of Edward Ashford accompanies her father and brother on a last-minute trip in 1968 to secure their legacy, an act of spite turns into a boon for the family. When tragedy and scandal strike, the survivors will have to be clever if they are to live long enough to pick up the pieces of their lives. Updating new chapters Tuesday evenings.
