The Knife Thrower’s Daughter by themostrandomfandom
“In the summer of 1898, Santana Lopez joined the J.P. Adams & Son Traveling Circus & Menagerie as it toured the states of the Upper American Midwest. She also fell in love with the knife thrower’s daughter.”
This one's for the girls

i’m jus sayin
A Beta’s Companion to “The Knife Thrower’s Daughter”, Chapter 13, ‘Birthday Girl’
A while ago, I wrote an essay in my Sexy Analysis series about the love scene in JJ’s “The Knife Thrower’s Daughter”. I have long hoped to write another essay about the later parts of the story, at the point of its completion. I still hope to do so, but time is sometimes not compliant and, regardless of whether I do write a more structured essay in the future, I thought it might be of interest to provide a form of commentary on the latest chapter.
I’ve been lucky enough to have the honor of guest beta-ing for JJ for the past few chapters while Han has been kicking ass with her PhD completion, and, with JJ’s kind consent, the following is a different kind of analysis — one which provides some snippets of what happens between writer and beta, and then elaborates on them in a more critical commentary.
Please Note: Under the cut are spoilers for the entirety of TKTD, up to the end of Chapter 13; if you haven’t read the chapter yet, please be aware that I talk about the whole of it, and from the very beginning of this commentary.

Rating: M
Word Count: ~36,000
Part: 13/15
Summary: “Not for the first time in her life, Santana wishes she could believe in one good thing. She can’t ask the devil on her shoulder to save Brittany because it doesn’t seem right to do so, so instead she just whispers to anything that will hear her.”
Author’s Note: I feel extraordinarily lucky to get to work with not one but two brilliant betas and an amazing Spanish translator. A thousand-million thank yous to Han for knowing the rules of my story so amazingly well and for going above and beyond the call of beta duty. A thousand-million thank yous to the wonderful Dr. Ruth for being so incredibly insightful and for being such a good reader. She does so much and helps me to up my game in ways I can’t even explain. A thousand-million thank yous to the fantastic Lu for translating for me. She always makes sure I say what I mean with the Spanish. Also, I dedicate this chapter to Alice. Happy belated birthday, bb!
