I hope you have as much fun reading this story as I have writing it.
Updates will be posted, whenever I have the time for continuing this story.

Suggestions for improvement are welcomed if expressed nicely. :)
The comment section should be a safe space for everyone. So please be friendly.
And of course, let me know about your thoughts on this work, I'd appreciate it.

The story starts with the events of the first season, and while I'm keeping many of the main plot lines, some will deviate massively. I'm crossposting this on AO3 (user: V_K_T). There're a lot more chapters posted already.

Thank you so much!

Lots of love.
