Lol this isn't an AU story.

If you read the description I've turned Flocking Home into a "Pilot episode", more like a "brief preview." The reason why I did this because Flocking Home ended up being...really oddly paced. I introduced heaps of characters but ended up doing very little with them and I managed to squeeze an entire Guild War into like barely 10 chapters, and introduced two new characters to the main Guild in like two chapters without any sort of context.

This lack of pacing, along with a really poor setting lead to the story basically collapsing. It took me a while to find the motivation to revamp the story in a way that the background of it makes sense, while allowing for those same characters to be made in a way that seems more appealing and would enable fluid story telling.

So basically "Flocking Home" has turned into a test run.
