According to the update I just ran in Calibre, Wishweaver's Realizations rewrite has added five more chapters since ... I think it was Bob? ... pointed it out and posted a link. I'm not sure where that was exactly, but it's updating now, so updates thread. Link is to the index list page, rather than any single chapter.

It was in the Dead Fic thread in the pinned section, but yeah. I have the first chapter open in my browser and hit refresh every once in a while. When it hits something close to where WW left off ten years ago, I'll start reading again. <grin>

Chapter Trigger Warnings: Threat of Non-Con, Explicit Acts Of Violence (Berserkers again)
(Some wag on the discord suggested that the Berserkers should just officially be a content warning unto themselves.)
The Dragon Millennium, Manna-hata University Press, Ltd. Wrote:…varied widely. In particular, while the relationships of East Asian humans with the local dragons was superficially more accepting than those of European and Mediterranean humans, the simple fact remained that the two species were in competition for food and other resources.
Generally speaking, the various cultures of the region—Nippon, Huáxià, Việt, Goryeo, Khmu, Java, and others—revered the dragons who lived in the plentiful volcanic peaks spread throughout their region of the world, often as divine or elemental in nature. This reverence did not prevent conflict between the humans and dragons, however. Either in spite of or because of their cultural status, dragon poaching was common throughout history, especially due to the medicinal values (perceived or actual) of a number of parts and extracts from various dragon breeds, and rates of poaching spiked notably in times of political instability.
Likewise, the reverence shown by humans in some eras and locations could disarm a nest when the attitude reversed itself. More than one East Asian nest was devastated, if not wiped out entirely, in periods of famine when desperate humans raided the nest, as the dragons were not used to the dangers that humans could pose to them—or, worse, being acclimated to the presence of humans in the form of monks and monasteries established near the nest in acts of veneration. This particular cruel irony, that the monks who tended to and revered the dragons also led the human mobs to their targets, was not something that went unnoticed in various records, but it still happened repeatedly nonetheless.
Furthermore and most importantly, the human and dragon populations both needed the productivity of the land and sea to sustain their populations, and every population crash from the dragons gave the humans more room to expand into the vacated space—which they did, resulting in less room for the next generations of dragons. And this would lead to further conflict.
In Zhōngguó, for example, farm raiding by hungry dragons could be and was seen as a sign that the reigning dynasty had lost the Mandate of Heaven. More than one Emperor reacted to this by attempting to bring the unruly servants of Heaven back into proper action, authorizing or even leading organized hunts. Some of these were more humane, intended to simply scare off the dragons from raiding livestock. Others were not. Legal attitudes towards dragons varied over time as well, with some dynasties having more protectionist attitudes towards dragons and passing wide laws protecting them, and others choosing a more narrow outlook. One major contributing factor of the events of the early Dragon Era was that the Song dynasty had passed a number of strict laws protecting various species in their lands, including dragons...
In the royal court of Francia, King Henry receives a belated visit from Hiccup due to a sudden high priority. In the Bog Burglar village, Astrid and Wulfhild see the sights and test their skills alongside Cami and Merida. In Constantinople, Sigurd deals with dragon-related logistics, though quite a few of his thoughts are elsewhere. In Vedrarfjord, Fintan celebrates his daughter's birthday. In Almatu, Drago lays out plans for future expansion of the Kagan's empire, particularly explaining what they should expect to find among the Han empires. And we close in Inbhir Aora, where the chapter's warnings get justified...

The last chapter of Ghost of Privet Drive:
https://archiveofourown.org/works/215003...s/63638221
The author says he is on the planning stages for a sequel.
“We can never undo what we have done. We can never go back in time. We write history with our decisions and our actions. But we also write history with our responses to those actions. We can leave the pain and the damage in our wake, unattended, or we can do the work of acknowledging and fixing, to whatever extent possible, the harm that we have caused.”

That's chapter 28. The last time we had an update alert for this story, it was for chapter 24. Don't miss any of the intervening material!
