A/N: Okay, more than a couple notes before we start; to clear the air and to inform.
First, and foremost, this is currently a work in progress. There will not be regular updates. Life nearly buried this fic, and I've had to make some careful deals with it in order to prevent that.
Second, I will have an Author's note in each chapter. Whether at the beginning or the end, it doesn't matter. It will generally just be random comments on the chapter. I might reply to reviews, if you're nice and leave one. I might preview the chapter title, possibly a teaser. If these things bother you, then feel free to complain. Don't expect much to come if it, though, if you're just being an idiot.
Third, this is going to be different. I'm adapting the premise of the original and taking it in a new direction. Hopefully a bit more palatable. I'm removing the song lyrics from the body of the work, but the music itself is still involved. I highly suggest you at least listen to the given songs, whether while reading or some other time. If only to enhance your grasp of the mood.
Fourth, and this is just clarification, I'm going to get rid of the 'Redux' for the title, here. Because I feel like it. I'll leave the other up until I've caught the story up, and then get rid of it entirely. If you have it faved, then you're gonna have to change that.
Fifth, and this is really just a throw-it-in type thing, I like easter-eggs. Little things, sprinkled about, that make fans of various different shows, movies, books, etc. look twice and maybe crack a smile. It might be an obvious thing. It might be tiny and unnoticable. But if you spot it, drop a review so you can keep score. Or berate me for being an idiot. Whatever's good.
And finally...while the Kigo is established from the beginning (sort've, I guess), it's going to be handled a little more realistically. By which I mean they're not going to meet up again and instantly be all cutesy. It's not going to trail on for twenty chapters, or anything, so don't go freaking out. They'll just be a little less immediate/dramatic.
First chapter will be coming some time in the next week, if I'm very, very lucky. I'd ask very nicely if my handful of readers out there would drop a review whenever. I won't beg, but knowing you guys like it really helps motivate me/weed out the crap bits.
Thanks, all. ^^
