Posting my first Umbrella Academy fic

shadowscastI've just started posting that Umbrella Academy fic that I mentioned, over at AO3.
If you're interested in checking it out, here's the link:
No Future Is Perfect, But This One's Pretty Good
Warning: spoilers for Season 2.
(For more warnings, tags, plot summary etc, you can look at AO3. I won't post any of that here for the moment, since it's all potentially S2-spoilery.)
I posted chapter one, and then went to eat dinner. By the time I got back to my computer, the work already had more kudos than my entire beloved epic Once A Thief series that I wrote over the past couple of years. And that right there is the difference between writing in a tiny dead fandom versus a big, live one. Gosh.
Anyway, I've posted up to chapter 4 now (which was how many chapters it took for me to get the main couple together, both conscious, in the same room), and I'm going to leave it there overnight. The whole thing is written, but I want to spread out my own joyful feeling of posting something new over at least a day or two. This might be a little hypocritical of me, since I'm one of those people who will tick the "complete works only" box when searching AO3—but then I guess it's fine, since the people who tick that box won't see the fic until it's all up there, and presumably the people who don't tick that box enjoy reading works a little at a time!
