Sort of reading the latest chapter of Charybdis with the expectation that it would be the conclusion of this adventure.. Boy was I wrong and...wow... that jaw dropping ending! hats off for you on this and I can't wait to read the next chapter!
Thank you!! Gosh, this was such an encouraging message. I was really excited about this chapter, but I wasn’t sure if people would like it, and so I’m just stupidly delighted to hear this, and that you’re excited for the next one!
There’s a few more chapters left of their story in this fic, and this is the part I’ve been looking forward to writing the most. I’m absolutely predictable when it comes to endings and the “and then they lived happily ever after (in their bar with their matching aprons and their adorable kids/extended family of outlaws)” bit, but one of the reasons I wanted to write this story in the first place was to explore what happens before that, in the immediate aftermath—after the trauma and the fighting, when the big battle is over and the healing can finally begin. It’s my profound belief that they’d find their way back to each other through anything, but that doesn’t mean their course would always be smooth getting there.
