esmeiolantheWelcome to Already in Progress, the only story that starts in the middle! There's not a Plot, and there isn't even a whole lot of small-p plot to speak of. Since this story does start in the middle, I personally recommend beginning with the Fourth Birthday Special, working your way forward, and filling in back chapters at your convenience. Of course, you are free to read the chapters in any order you see fit. :D
If a link is in bright blue, that means that it leads to a text-only short feature that you may be interested in, but that is not necessary to following the story. If a link is in pink, that means it's a crossover with Ruth's (un)Officially Wacky Boolprop Challenge. These crossovers are recommended enhancements but perfectly safe to skip. One Way Or Another

To avoid trying to figure out when certain events referenced in Chapter 37 happened, you may want to check out Myrna, or, Oakapple's Own: Act I and Act II at this point.
Nightmare Warning: This story contains strong horror elements, a swear word, and artsy-fartsy writing.
You may want to check out The Order of the Llama, or, The Performer and Her Pianist Act I and Act II at this point, but it's not legally required.
