AWRR AU Aftermath Complete Reading Order:
Aftermath is sorrrrt of intended to stand on its own, but I can’t stop writing side stories and other supplemental stories about it. There are also ‘canon’ fics from before the point of departure that would still be considered ‘canon to the series’
There are also the Fever Dream series, which are things that have spawned from this but are not part of either the original canon, or canon to the series. Fractal AUs!
Aftermath on its own is arranged in series order, so this just slots in everything else around it, more or less chronologically. Aftermath 'Canon' fics are noted with a *. Fics by anyone other than myself are noted.
