Story Notes:
Note: I somehow idiolitcally managed to delete my own story from here when I thought I was deleting a double-posted chapter. Blah. Since I’m going to the effort of reposting it, I’m going to go ahead and proofread it combine some chapters as I repost it, maybe correct for some inconsistencies along the way that no doubt crept it. I will break it into two parts as well. Sorry to anyone who was following this.
