Episode notes

The book is about two characters, like you said, and the cover of the book kind of hints at this because there's a red bird and a blue bird. No, this isn't an adaptation of that old internet cartoon where the two halo guys revolve with each other or whatever. They're both these weird collectivist sort of groups that are waging this war across time.

This is a twist on a time travel story where the relationship between two enemies-turned-frenemies-turned-lovers takes center stage, leaving the actual mechanics of the time travel and all the world-building mostly unexplained. The dual authorship—each author wrote the chapters for one of the two characters—adds another interesting wrinkle.
