These notes are just for me and the curious--I’m writing this post to put them all together and to have an in-order timeline for this story on hand. Included is the full cast list and the current timeline, to be updated as further installments are added. Also, fanart what has been drawn for the story! If anything’s unclear, please ask--it’ll only help me sort things out better, after all.
