Many, many, many days of effort into figuring this all out, and now its here! I did this for fun, but figured it might be something others are interested in for either fanfiction purposes or just to get the full story in order! Giving a fair warning that while I did rewatch and take notes on each individual movie and take a few days to get everything figured out, there could be some small mistakes, so I apologize in advance!!
Most dates were given for big events, but other things mentioned briefly I had to put in the relative spot, with some rough estimation. With large chunks of time, I wrote what happened throughout it in order to make it easier!

CarMax is possibly the least Safe, Sane, and Consensual ship since Hannigram. They are unsafe, insane, and at best dubiously consensual. Rodón is not a good enough communicator to ask for consent in any way and hasn’t the Yankees FO literally said his anger issues are/were a threat to his teammates? Plus Fried would be too socially awkward/unaware to bring it up whether he likes it or not. And neither of those mfers know how to safely practice BDSM or have a conversation about it but they’re sure as hell doing it anyway.
