AN: Hey, a quick author's-note-only update here, but I'm currently in the process of re-uploading the entirety of 3D9C onto AO3 organised into Days rather than the actual chapters (though the original chapter titles and divisions are still there, it's just so I don't have to upload 1300 chapters), it will be one complete fic instead of being divided into 3 parts and I will also include The Lost Echosodes in there. I'm only noting this because FFN has been extremely broken lately as I'm sure many of you have noticed, and a few have reviewed about chapters being broken, as well as email alerts being broken for everybody for weeks now. I'm not gonna stop posting to FFN at all, but I am eventually going to be simultaneously cross-posting Retrograde to AO3 as well, so if any of you also use AO3 and would prefer to read there then 3D9C will soon be there in its complete form as well. It's under the slightly different username CJ1021. Thanks!
