This story has been taken down for an editing overhaul, since:

i. FFN refuses to provide an Archive button to abuse when

ii. your 23-year-old self cannot, in good conscience, endorse what your 15-year-old self wrote

iii. (a clusterfuck nobody should be subjected to)*,

iv. but does intend to update sometime before this virus kills us all

v. because everyone who Followed deserves as much, dammit,

vi. and you still have a soft spot for these books.

In conclusion, thank you for your patience.
