Author's Notes:

This story has been written in a particular way.

Particularly confusing, perhaps.

I would recommend at least attempting to read it in the order presented. However, if you're not a big fan of piecing together large, disparate chunks of story in your head, please leave this window open and use it to read the chapters in chronological order. Keep in mind that there are still often large gaps between chapters and the first couple won't make much sense anyway. Please enjoy.

And, of course, don't forget the author's notes.
