The Fourth Step (Patreon)

I am so very sorry it took this long just to get the second February exclusive done. And I'm sorry that this doesn't feel up to snuff. But that could just be me.

It's a recurring problem for me: I come up with a gimmick I like - in this case a riff on how the 12th step of AA goes on in perpetuity, so if a person falls off the wagon it's framed as them failing the program, not the program failing them - but I can't figure out how to craft a story around it.

I might come back to this idea later if I come up with a good idea - maybe something from the tomboy's perspective - but I've already wasted days on this and I just wanted to get it finished and out there.
