side couple chapters

if you haven’t read this series READ THE WHOLE THING NO SKIPPING bc the main couple is really good. despite starting this bc of the halloween fanart for the side couple I got attached to the main couple as well so ur missing out if u skip. however if you have read and need a brief refresher before we begin season 2/bonus episodes here are the chapters they appear in:
while you weren’t watching
