pretty much + 1 to everything, including liking their character development and being surprised by the leveling up happening this soon.

i've actually been enjoying mind_tent's "superstition" series (oc rookies get drunk-married in vegas and stay married), but i strongly suspect the narrator is an acquired taste because he reminds me some of marc in ycmal so this is DEFINITELY a ymmv rec. there are some hilarious moments (elvis has to turn their snap-backs around for their wedding kiss, that was priceless).
