Notes:

I wasn't planning on going this far with it but my commenters and readers in general have been amazing, so thank you! I'm certainly not doing every mission, but given that I'm projecting the first part to be roughly 34 25-26 chapters and we haven't even made it to the first zone yet, it makes sense to make this a series so it's not over 100 chapters long.
I wasn't 100% sure if this was going to stay Gen or just Shaun Really Really Has a Crush, but the characters have made their decision, so the answer is there will be a relationship but it will take a bit and it won't be The Focus of the Fic. They're definitely not getting together in Echoes. I went ahead and marked it as pre-Shaun/Desmond though.
This is going to have a good ending too, but I don't want to tag it because it's going to be definitely a ride to get there, so that might not be true of an individual volume.
My Wild Guess as to the length of Echoes is...about 60 80-90110? 120? chapters? Around 30-40 chapters per zone seems about the average, now that I've gone through 3 (if you count London).
...whoops I forgot about 2nd anni 2025 just gonna get on that...
