I hear what yall are saying about the Epilogues being required reading to be able to engage with HSquared or Beyond Canon. As I understand it though, there was a recap on the HS:BC site itself (presently taken down with a “returning soon” notice in its place). I have also osmosed much from others in my circles who have read the Epilogues in full, enough to have something of a gist of how things went down, including certain details that still make me irrationally ticked off to remember.

I suppose I am sort of double dipping, with one foot wading in the fandom mainstream (postcanon and the discussion surrounding it) and the other planted well outside it (other spaces for Epi-divergent / Epi-averse fanwork).
