Where do I start? What is ground zero for getting started reading this story? Do you have a link or something for me? I’m just now finding out about this and dying for where to start. please?

I’m excited to hear!

I’d definitely recommend starting with the main storyline, Brothers Apart. It’s where everything started (my writing style evolves with the stories, I started writing these quite a few years ago >o>).

You can find links to all the stories here. We post on three different websites, so it depends on how you like to read. Archive of Our Own does allow downloading the files so they can be seen on e-readers as well, fanfiction tends to be a hot mess, deviantart is the site I started out on.

All the other AUs are self contained (Brothers Lost, Brothers Found, Brothers Consulted, ect…), so you can begin with any of them, but Brothers Apart will have the deepest backstory of them all and tends to lay the groundwork for the rest.

I look forward to hearing what you think!
