update, finally, H&M, Ch 21
So I have, finally, updated Harold and Morgan, Chapter 21, Home is where the heart is. You can find it here. Thank you so much to those who have been patient. It's been a rough time creatively. As often happens, some things tend to come in waves -- which has occurred here and been difficult to shake off.
But the chapter is done, up, and I have my way through. I can't really think of anything to say about it. If you have any questions, drop a line. I hope if you are still reading that you will let me know that. Thank you
Edit: I did mean to add something about Constance. That line in which Maeve tells her that she's always expecting Constance to have some amazing insight into their work and she never does, which goads Constance into making the two observations? I have a work situation that is very nearly identical. Maeve's, "I keep expecting you to challenge my brilliance and you never do" is a critique I receive regularly from a co-worker. I don't directly insert myself into characters that often but the dynamic there, that exchange, is one where I have a lot of sympathy for Constance and she's handling a very difficult situation with aplomb. Also, Maeve's observation that a lot will be forgiven if someone gives you a 5 figure sum of money is also pretty accurate.
Why isn't Pierce involved? Because at this point he's busy running Linch and they've got a bit of a "firewall" set up. They are working on the code together, but he's not involved in the inner workings of Stanleh and the audit. I've not figured out quite which way that will go actually -- it doesn't really matter. Lots of "power" couples have both members in high, important positions in competing firms. It happens all the time in my experience, so... otoh I think there's a legit concern of an appearance of it being "too close" if the husband and wife were principals/directors of the two largest banking houses. It's not something I really have to decide but in reality it could go either way.
Alan also comes across much better than previously suspected but in my head canon, some of which will be developed (recall he and Morgan are cousins on the mother's side), in the same way that Morgan's got a gift/curse that gives the facility with numbers, the same thing manifested in a different way with Alan. He's really bad at numbers -- probably even dyslexic -- which would be a terrible and hidden secret. He's compensated really well and both he and Constance have very high emotional intelligence. It's also why he and Morgan were well-matched in a way -- which at least his mother knew and that's why she's pushed so hard to bring Morgan in.
And as for Peridan (both of them) Tebbitt, at his core, was very loyal to King and country. Lord Peridan here has a similar loyalty, though its source is not explained, though now hinted that it springs from devotion to Aslan.
