Thank you!! And yeah the au definitely is a lot, like I look back on it and am awed because there are so many words and so many plot things and there is somehow still more story to tell!! And I wrote it all!

I will say though that as I am writing the next chapters (currently writing chapter 23) there does seem to be this shift, if it can be described as that. Where now instead of introducing more questions and places and people, the story is starting to solve itself and double back and answer the questions it sparked. Like it's starting to weave together and make more sense. It's very fun, though it is a lot!

and please take your time! I've said it before and I'll say it again: the au is always going to be there. I'm not going anywhere! You've got plenty of time to read at your own pace, and I am right there with you when it comes to the attention span thing. I'm starting to reread it because I want to make sure I remember things as they all start to come together (and also because it's been a while) and it is definitely an overwhelming length.

I hope you enjoy it! I've definitely been having fun writing it and telling this story, and the interactions I've had because of it are so worth it. It's definitely been a huge undertaking, but I'd do it all over again.
