Black King White Knight Verse
This Verse is completed, however I take prompts for timestamps or short stories.
The New Notes for clarification: This verse uses the Origin Stories, a link to them can be found on my fanfic masterlist.
The Notes for clarification Strike Back: I started writing this series sometime either during or shortly after the end of Season One (Honestly I don't remember anymore) and had established most if not all of the cannon of this universe prior to the end of season two. This is my way of saying that yes, I know a number of the details about their various backstories are no longer cannon, this is slight AU in that regard.
Return of The Notes for Clarification: Tags to episodes will have their summaries italisized. Stories that occur chronologically at some point after the episode but may or may not actually have more than a vauge reffrence putting it there will be normal.
The Phantom Notes for Clarification: I'm going back to the beginning of evertything. Yes, it's true, I'm writting from the beginning of the series about how they got together. For awhile there will be a skip between whatever story comes before Rules of Engagement and Rules of Engagement. It will be bridged as I write stories. It just takes time.
