Alright. So basically this is going to follow everything post the first avengers movie, though I can't promise there won't be some changes (like stupid plot points I elect to ignore) but still. Also, the will be End Game spoilers. It's not for a while (5 years is a long time to cover when typing on mobile) but they do happen. There are topics of blood, violence, death, torture, and all that fun angsty stuff but any chapter that features it will have posted warnings. Stay tuned for the next update in a few days (or hours, depending on how bored I am).
