As a fan of the found family trope, I absolutely love the interactions between Fintan, Ciara, Eamon, and Aodh (and Doran too!). I'd read an entire book about all of them continuing to deal with their individual and shared traumas, and facing their respective futures.

Nicely done. I'm looking forward to catching up on the other characters!

Fortunately I've been working on a story about them from well before this project started, which is also the story that Ciara wrote, following Aodh and Fintan from their first meeting to the immediate aftermath of the Bloody Day. But it's hard to work on a novelette and a serial at the same time. Don't have a vision of their future past this point yet, but a sequel to this 'game' would absolutely include them.

Grateful that you like Aodh and company, they're some of my favorite characters to write here, though not always the easiest with how much history they have. Makes me happy I was able to tell a compelling narrative with them in Battles Beneath the Stars instead of just leaving everyone aside from a few friends confused.
