Just finished reading up to Chapter 17.
Wow. This gives me flashbacks to Echo and Arches, maybe not as much fucked up evil shit going on behind the scenes (iykyk ;-;), but the character developments and twists and turns and the roller coaster of emotions is insane. You truly do have something good going on here. And I hope that you'll see it through to its completion.
(somewhat spoilers below)
Please give Lance the redemption arc he deserves. Please let him see Cyrus again and them have moments again.
PLEASE fuck Darius over by getting hit with the biggest loadstar beam in the entire series. (He deserves it for hurting so many people).
