This story has been temporarily removed while I do some quality assurance. 

This was my first-ever story and while I have done several proofreads, I feel that many parts (particularly the early chapters) aren't up to my standards anymore.

I'll be touching up some of the wording, dialogue, and formatting and reposting eventually. 

As readers of this story may know, it is over 100,000 words long and involves many, many perspectives, so I'm tweaking it to get rid of some of the amateurish phrasing and make the formatting more consistent.
