The Future Arc

Welcome to Danilise's evolving library of future arc stories. All of them have been put in chronological order for your reading pleasure. Most of them have been authored by Danilise herself, but some of them have also been written by Kara. Eventually I'll probably pester Danilise into putting up some sort of introduction so people can learn what these stories are about and any background information you might need to know, but for now... I will leave you with the stories!
