The problem with just insisting on it being AU is that, well, it's pro-wrestling fic, and an injury that I was SURE was the character lying about being injured turned out to be the wrestler truly being injured and out for surgery. Which means it's just way too sad for me to be like "NO I'MMA WRITE A VERSION WHERE IT WAS FAKED," knowing that he's really gone for a while... (The dangers of a genre that treads so close to RPF, the real bodies impinge on the storytelling!)
Now that I'm nearly to 70K it feels like I've got another 20K left to write. We'll see what happens. There's still a healthy amount of mystery and action to work out so it might be 100K by the time I'm done. *rueful sigh*
I always get really frustrated with stories like that, the ones that just stretch out to the horizon, receding the closer you get... Still, if it's demanding that much detail that's a really good sign, I think!
