Four Horsemen, now live!

Hi Everyone!

Hope you’ve all been doing well! It’s been some time!

I’ve got a new story I’ve been working on and posting to RR recently. We’re going to be releasing the first draft chapters here, got some extras up on Patreon. Our plan is to post all of the series here if possible and publish on our site and wide to make it as accessible as possible.
