Hi everyone! I'm so so sorry for such a long break, but I graduated and moved house! I have so much more time on my hands now and I WILL finish this series or die trying. I've been working on it since I last updated it but good ol' imposter syndrome paired with graduating stopped me from posting.
I'm doing an overhaul of this series as in progressing with the writing I've found some plot holes and added some much-needed context and characterisation. If you're seeing this, please re-read the series if you're still interested in my works, as any future chapters in any of the series' fics won't make sense without a re-read. Sorry for the inconvenience, and I hope you all enjoy!
With love from your hopefully no longer unreliable writer Goose <3
