Saga parts chapter summaries and bridge

Major standalone entry arcs

Major standalone entry arcs may require 10,000 to 15,000 words per chapter when the story weight requires it.

Use this scale for:

Lexa / Costia / Anya,
Ronance / Steve,
Clarke / Raven / Octavia / Steve,
Vauseman / Theo,
SwanQueen / Henry,
Avalance,
Steve / Anya / Hawkins,
Caskett.

These arcs need full old-world life, Day Zero, first survival strategy, months or years of selected survival texture, relationship development, intimacy where adult and appropriate, humor, grief, route logic, and a meeting point that can work as the climax of a smaller fanfic.
