Hey guys 🙂 With all the side-stories and time-jumping in the Control-verse, this has been on my to-do list for a while now, and I’m excited to share it with you all – the official Control chronology and reading guide! I’ve created a category for this on the Fanfiction page which links back to this post, and I’ll do my best to keep it regularly updated as the series progresses 🙂 **If you’re new to the blog, please check the reading guide below to avoid SPOILERS in the side-stories**
Below you’ll find a timeline showing the chronological ordering of not only the main Control storyline but the side-stories as well. Hopefully this’ll provide a clear picture as to how the various parts of the story relate to one another in order of past to present 🙂 Stories that are connected by vertical lines indicate a direct prequel/sequel relationship & stories connected by horizontal lines indicate stories which are occurring at the same time.
Control Chronology (Completed 6/23/22)-Â
*Note: Timeline not to scale lol! It’s only intended to give a relative indication of story order, not how much time has elapsed between stories. Maybe I’ll get around to doing that later on, but right now my brain can’t handle it haha @_@
Perhaps more importantly, below you’ll find a guide listing the recommended reading order for the Control side-stories & series. This may differ from the chronological ordering, but it follows the posting order here on the blog (which is intended to provide the most suspenseful read 🙂 )

Okay that’s about it for now! Hopefully these’ll be helpful for you guys as the Control series continues to unfold 🙂 If you have any feedback or suggestions for other things you’d like to see, please let me know <3
I’ve been a fan of all your writings and planned to review for sometime. I just never have been a reviewer this weirdly being my first… ever lol but this made me so excited had to finally subscribe and let you know how happy I am you did this. I have wanting to ask what order these went in so I could reread the entire series. First reason being the plot is so thick I want to feel like I know how it’ll end lol and second I tend to reread all of your stories while waiting for updates. I mean how can anyone not?! Your stories are written amazingly and so organically they could stand on thier own regardless of the Inuyasha series. Anyways enough rambling lol thank you for all the spare time you take to write in this fandom (and making your own blog I’m a longtime fan from Dokuga) because it’s by far my most favorite pairing and I’ve been reading for almost 15 years!
Awww thank you so much, Kat!! So great to hear from you! 🙂 I’m so incredibly flattered to hear how much you enjoy my stories, and that you’re a fellow SessKag veteran like myself! <3
Thanks so much again for all the kind words and support! It means so very much 🙂 And I'm so happy that this post will be helpful to you as you read (re-read 🙂 ) through the Control series! Happy reading!! <3 <3 <3
Thanks you so much for doing this! As a librarian I tend to get really fixated on keeping things in order, so this is a godsend! I really appreciate all your hard work.
You’re so welcome, Alex! Thanks for encouraging me along the way!! 🙂
I very much enjoy keeping things in order too, so this was definitely a helpful exercise for me as well <3 <3 <3
I love timelines!
This has also been really helpful because I’ve found myself going back and rereading sections I believed preceded a side story.
Thank you~ 🤗
Yay, I love them too! So glad to hear you find it helpful 🙂
<3 <3 <3
Wow this is amazing! Now I need to reread everything along the timeline. Thank you!!
Yay, thanks, Molly!! I feel like I need to, too XD
