    Hello! Wow, there has been a long break between Chrysanthemum Tango -chapters again. I've been a bit lost with the story, but now I'm slightly more found again. So have a chapter:

    Chapter 53: Inspiration and Death
    S4Htj7P.jpg

    Follow two anthropomorphic personifications to work in this probably-not-thrilling chapter, where people will briefly step into the larger narrative and swiftly - and sometimes tragically - step back out.

    I hope you enjoy and have a lovely time!

    Hello! What's this? A Chrysanthemum Tango update... after an almost a six-month break? I... well, am not surprised about the delay :(. But I am sorry. On the bright side, I have a better idea of how this story is going to continue... maybe? At least here I have a long chapter kinda setting a bunch of things up or somewhat pushing them forward. So yay?

    Chapter 54: Dates
    9I3ZeNv.jpg

    There are many ways to interpret the word “date”. Here are several of those ways. Sometimes they may even overlap.

    I hope you're doing well, and I hope you enjoy!

    Hi guys! I added a scene to Tango's Chapter 49: Ghost in the Mail, because I realised it needed to be there, or at least it was best being there. I'm sorry about this unchronological posting, but I hope it's not too confusing.

    It also means I had to do a bit of editing to some other scenes as well, and I will have to check some other chapters to make sure nothing clashes there either, but it shouldn't be anything too drastic, practically just a slight shift in mood in some scenes.

    If you want to read the added scene only, it's here, but the scene is in the very beginning of the chapter, so it's not too hard to find.

    Have a lovely time, people!

    Also yes, I am working on the next chapter as well.

    Hello people! Whoa, I've taken way too long with this, but it's finally done: the next chapter for The Chrysanthemum Tango!

    Chapter 55: Crashes
    9BJtAgt.jpg

    Sometimes it’s important to admit that others may be right, and that you may not be okay. Amelia processes. Disegno strikes a deal with someone. And Tad is somehow less sombre than usual. These things are not connected.

    I hope you enjoy and have a lovely time!

    Hello, lovely people! Here's my newest chapter to Chrysanthemum Tango!

    Chapter 56: Amelia's Quest
    RybzexD.jpg

    Amelia is determined to figure out how her grief works, and how she could move on from being so stuck with it.

    I hope you enjoy! Stay safe people!

    Oh my word, it's been way too long! But I finally, finally got over my writer's block enough to write the next chapter for Chrysanthemum Tango!

    Chapter 57: Small Steps
    mbnpwoW.jpg

    Some take steps towards healing, some towards opening their hearts and learning to trust. And some take many, many steps inside an infinite library.

    I hope you enjoy! Stay safe and healthy, everyone!

    Hey! Here's my newest chapter for The Chrysanthemum Tango! Almost not after a forever of waiting this time. I hope you enjoy!

    Chapter 58: Beauteaful Day
    QV2zelQ.jpg
    They were quite lovely days… strangely warm despite the crispy air, and full of healing. Sometimes those kinds of days do happen.

    Stay safe and healthy, everyone!

    Hello! I've still had some health problems, but now I'm better again and I have almost normal levels of energy! Yay! So I managed to write the newest chapter for The Chrysanthemum Tango!

    Chapter 59: Thieves
    LMNPb72.jpg

    Tad finds out about Disegno's crime, but that's not even the real issue they are facing. Amelia faces kind words from an old friend, as well as some realities of life.

    Stay safe everyone!

    Hi! Been a while again, but here's the next Chrysanthemum Tango -chapter.

    Chapter 60: Lost and Found
    rDRFPVp.jpg

    Amelia does something bravely stupid. People meet at an old, faded memory of countryside. Tad is surprisingly adept at feelings.

    I hope everyone's okay and staying safe!
