No, seriously!
Chapter 10 - The Unexpected Party has been posted to FF.Net and to SoA.
It's been a spectacularly hard chapter to write, combining book canon - including earlier versions of it - and film dialogues (because some of them were just too good to leave out) and still trying to make everything different, as seen from female!Bifur's POV, but I hope it's more or less enjoyable.
I'm afraid the next chapter will be even harder, not only because I'll have more older stuff to fit in but because the romance part of the whole is supposed to start there, so the next update might take a while. Unless the muse goes on a killing spree, but that's rather unlikely.
In any case, enjoy!
