Name: Procrastination
Story: The Fulcrum
Colors: Bittersweet #5: The Road Not Taken
Styles and Supplies: Silhouette, Life Drawing, Tempera (Two of Swords encourages you to remove the blindfold and honestly assess the situation at hand. It may be necessary to weigh the pros and cons of different options, gather more information, or seek guidance from others to help you make an informed decision. However, prolonged indecision can lead to stagnation, and it's important to eventually address the issue at hand. The crossed swords symbolize the need to find a balance between opposing forces and find a way to reconcile conflicting aspects.)

Characters and Relationships: Aubrey Bren/Irfan Pai, Roberto Ramírez/Tosha Go, Theresa/Douglas, Patrick, Claudia, Félix Ramírez, Vanessa
Dates: 1991-1997 (Though to remind you, despite the fact that the dates are in the 90s, it's really all 2004. That's why people are selling laptops online in 1991.)
Summary: Aubrey's time in high school and college, through to his marriage.
Notes: This is the second part of the prelude of Crimes Against Romance - the first part was posted here, way back over a year ago (interestingly enough, that one used my first Light Black prompt, and this one uses my last one). This is Sculpture relative to that post, which chronologically takes place in the middle of this, a year and a half after Aubrey first investigates the "club", and nine months before the scene where he meets Félix. The rest of Crimes Against Romance will not get posted until after I finish posting the Fulcrum, in order to use a different set of color lists for it, which will be Dirty Orange, Tuscan Red, Sable, Ametrine, and Heart To Heart, but I need to post this one here in order to finish up Light Black.
