After working so closely with a soundtrack for my i_rb I've taken an interest in putting together a fanmix for this fic! I have a few things picked out (Stone Sour, Emily Browning, a few instrumentals by Otani Kow) but I need some more, so if you have any music recs please please send them along! :D

Because these last chapters are going to be tricky (and also because I'm working on my i_rb) I can't promise a return to a weekly posting schedule. BUT there is ZERO CHANCE of this fic being abandoned. In fact I can finally say for sure that it'll be 19 Chapters + ~sexilogue~ so hey we all have that to look forward to, lol.

WARNING: This chapter has an extra trigger warning for a brief torture scene. I don't think it's any worse than the violence already in the fic, but I know some people are freaked by this specifically, so if you want to know exactly what it is ahead of time let me know.

During my lunch break I doodled out a rough outline for this fic, and right now it's looking to end up at 18 chapters. At my current rate of posting that means it won't be finished until March. But according to the folks at

inceptanon2 the fandom will be DEAD by February. Will I then be a zombie!?!?

One can only hope.
