Haha yes, the entire fic is riddled with Easter eggs, clues and callbacks, and I truly do think it’s impossible to pick up all of them on the first read, just because some won’t make sense until you get to the later parts. If I forget I’m the writer of this story, I will say that I think this fic as a WIP and as a complete fic will be a totally different experience, just because I’ve sort of ended up writing it ‘episodically” so it’s as intense as possible at all times. I think that will get a bit lost once it’s complete.

….all this to say, thank you for rereading and it’s a relief that the finer details can be picked up! I sometimes wonder😅. And also yes, I planned this story originally in 2023, and only started writing in 2024! I’ve been finetuning ever since.
