  Summary

  A retelling of the storyline, but with AU elements, mainly focusing on our two main protagonists. As such, please expect spoilers for basically the game. Told mostly from Roland's perspective. Prior playthrough/watching of NNK2 is recommended because some events may happen offscreen. There is an associated art blog on tumblr called 'nnk2austuffs' where I post some of the art I worked on for this fic. I don't own anything regarding this fic, by the way.
