By The Way:

(Don't Forget to) Breathe isn't a prequel.

It's just in the same universe as
No Education
Bliss Cavalcade
Meaning
Shadowed

I like to call this universe the "Marshall Universe" or "Saga" but that sounds too much like pretentious bull to me, but what do I know? Oh, and by the way, I'm becoming immensely tired of this. It is still fun and all, but I'm losing time in work and school and the social life, and I'm becoming sick more and more often. Don't be surprised to come looking here one day and find these stories gone. I'll probably bring them back after revision or something, but whatever.
