This story will be a mix of an illustrated novel and actual comic pages. The content will almost entirely be sweet and sappy slice of life, with "dark and edgy" mostly limited to flashbacks.

Next time I update - I will upload fixed Chapter 1 pics that include the missing tattoos, and also replace the 350 DPI pics with proper 600 DPI.

Seems interesting. Good old archive of our own. Haven't been back to that site since my dbz yaoi phase.

Conkcreet I am deeply charmed by you.

Thank you?. Btw to any people tagging this for later there is alot of rape/rape thoughts in the story. I thought it would end but I got up to chapter 6 and it was still happening so I just kinda dipped. I wasn't noticing any character development away from that angle so You've been warned

Artist is adding the missing tattoos in chapter 1 - I'll fix those pages when I upload chapter 2. [LOL I completely forgot to do this...okay, chapter 3 it is.]

Understandable Conkcreet - unfortunately I have to treat the comic the same way as the story and not tag everything at once, just add tags as each chapter gets posted. Personally I love the contrast between the flashbacks and the present day, and the relationship between the main characters will be as healthy as possible under the circumstances. Oh and chapter 6 is the last of the horrid rape and rape thoughts, so let me know if you decide to come back and finish :) Also sorry if I didn't make it obvious enough that Djen is pretty horrified at the events she's witnessing and being basically forced to participate in, but it's a convenient way for the author and readers to have their cake and eat it too as far as anything non-consensual goes.

Chapter 2 of the comic is up. Over on AO3 the story is nearly done, and I hope to have that finished by the end of the year.
