Story Notes: For those who aren't aware, before my days as a Spuffy author I wrote a lot for Captain Canary. And I wanted to get back into writing Captain Canary. But Spuffy is my muse, so I tricked my brain! Now, I'm not sure when this will get done, or if I'll even have an audience for it, so I wanna post the prologue and get some feedback. I will say I'm going to try to work on future chapters in between Spuffy events
With that being said, the banner was made by MillennialCryBaby

Special thanks to FoolForSpuffy/Sunnydalesis for looking over the prologue (months ago lol). She gave me some pointers and I think her advice made this a whole lot better

Alright, I'm getting up on my podium, I have something to say. When I posted the prologue on AO3 (this was on AO3, EF mods you can put down the pitchforks), I got a very rude comment from someone describing Spuffy as "r-word-y" and Captain Canary as "homophobic." Look, not every ship is for every person, but don't leave an anonymous comment (seriously, they were just "guest", didn't even give themselves a name) complaining about a fic existing. Hit the fucking back button and ignore that person forever. Anyways, I do have to thank that anonymous commenter for something. I was unsure about pursuing this story until this person filled me with spite and that's a powerful motivator. I did delete the comment (didn't think to report it, I wanted it as gone as soon as possible), and hopefully we'll have only positivity from now on :)

With that being said, let's forget about the upsetting shit and get to the fun stuff! This is beta read by DeamonQueen. Thank you so much! And thank you to whoever bothered to read this whole note, I know it was wordy but I wanted to be honest about this stuff with you friends

And we're back! Only took us a couple of months lol. In all honesty what got me back on this story was my love for Legends of Tomorrow coming back, reading fanfiction, and SAD's Legend Has It event. If only I knew back then what I knew now, I could've totally based this fic around that event lol. Anyways, hindsight is 20/20

This chapter was beta read by DeamonQueen. Thank you so much for your help, Nick!
