Because I still occasionally get comments about this: Unfortunately, no, there is no (and there will never be a) sequel to this fic.

However, due to demand, there is a smut behind-the-scenes sort of companion fic called Behind Closed Doors. It's basically scenes that didn't make it into the Friendly Competition narrative, or which didn't get delved very deeply into, or scenes from different perspectives.

As of right now, it has 5 chapters up, most of which are pwp. There are warnings at the top of each chapter which will tell whether it is pwp, or, if not, will tell when the smut begins so that you can skip it. Chapter 5 (The Forest) does have a few content/trigger warnings, but I believe it will be the only one to require any (and, of course, they are listed at the top of the chapter).

Final note on BCD: it is not currently being updated, and has not been for nearly 2 years. It is not abandoned, and will eventually be finished, but it will likely continue to be quite some time before it is updated.

If you are interested in reading more works from me:

I do have more Harry Potter (specifically only Drarry, as of right now) content.

—We Can Call It Paradise: 5.5k word ficlet

—I'll Play Your Game: fake dating fic; 40k words, NOT complete

—Extruendam Eam: Eighth Year fic dealing with PTSD and depression; 12k words, NOT complete on indefinite hiatus

As for other fandoms/ships, I have

—Ever Since We Met: A Supernatural (Sabriel/background Destiel) fic about the years after the Elysian Fields Hotel, and my take on Gabe resurrecting (written pre-S12); 11.5k words

—An Awfully Big Adventure:Larry Stylinson Peter Pan AU; 27k words [RPF, so can only be found on my AO3 or Wattpad]

—The Aftermath: NBC Hannibal oneshot, a follow-up to another Hannibal oneshot; 1k words

—Loud Music: A Phan oneshot that I very much do not recommend reading but keep up for some reason; 1.5k words [RPF, so can only be found on my AO3 or Wattpad]

And, of course, I have more fics in the works, including a Batfam one, more Drarry, Hannibal, Sabriel, and Larry, and all sorts of other fandoms/ships/OG works (I have 60 WIPs because I'm a mess).

Thanks again for reading!
