Actually, I'm probably going to be reading from my archived copy, of
chapters saved to local storage as they arrived at the FFML - meaning
that I'll probably see the filler regardless. Not necessarily a bad

I need to reread "Hearts of Ice" to be able to read that final chapter,
myself. I just don't have as much time for the "all in one big block"
type of reading I like to do with that sort of story these days, though.
