u/Short-Scale-7700

As someone who *studied* these books (and all of SJM's other works) prior to the CC3 release, consumed all of her interviews, etc. I loathed CC3.

I've been thinking about doing this for over 2 years, and decided to just go for it.

It's canon divergent, a rewrite of CC3, and includes things SJM said would be revealed in the book, theories I had based on the breadcrumbs she left in books 1 and 2, and generally just bakes a whole new loaf with everything I hoped CC3 would be.

Chapter 1 is up, editing chapter 2 and will post soon.

The first chapter is short, and I would love feedback if you have a few minutes to spare and are into this kind of thing!
