I'm here to say I have become inspired to come back to this, and have been working on a complete rewrite of this premise. I have mostly outlined the first book and I'm a few chapters into actually writing it. Truth be told I've been working on it for a few months now, but it has taken me a lot longer than expected to finish fleshing out and outlining all the details, and yes I said the first book. It seems like this story needs to be a trilogy of novels.

I'll start publishing chapters both here and on Archive of our Own once I've got the entire skeleton of the first book almost totally built out, which shouldn't be too much longer now. I reckon less than a month actually, expect it sometime mid-December. I will post a final update to this story once I've published the first chapter of the new one, just as a heads up to anyone who has only followed this story and not me as an author.

ALSO! If anyone is a big Destiny AND/OR Mass Effect lore nerd and feels confident enough in their writing ability to be my beta-reader, I'd much appreciate it.
