Hey Tumblr, How do you write a good ending to your book? I finished my story but the ending feels out of place and rushed, but if I add more story it feels dragged on like I'm really milking these characters for all they're worth.

Assassins fic (How I'd end my book if I ever wrote one) - "He knows this is the end because all he can think of, is her"

B's reached the end of his life. He knows this with surety.

How? you might ask.

Well, it's not because he's writhing in pain, unable to staunch the blood flowing from his chest. It's not because there seems to be more blood pooled around him than what's left in his body. It's not because he's in a dark alleyway and your quintessential fucking villain is slowly approaching him for the killing blow..

He knows this is the end because all he can think of, is her.

Her. A's face envelops his thoughts. Her evil laugh, her low voice, the way her features soften under the moonlight.

The heavy steps stop. A weapon is raised, casting a black shadow over his broken body.

'I'll never forgive you'. The last words she'd ever said to him.

'Don't,' he whispers, voice skimming over the cobblestones, reaching no one.

The killing blow never comes.

quick rant for a moment, because I once again saw that someone put My sister’s keeper on a list of movies who fucked up the ending and I strongly disagree!

(also spoilers ahead!)

So I really liked the movie, I watched it first and then read the book. The book was good, except the ending. I really hate the book ending. And not because it’s sad, but because it’s pretty unrealistic - for anyone who doesn’t know and doesn’t care about spoilers: Kate is the one with cancer and Anna is her sister. In the book Anna dies in a car crash and Kate gets her kidney; in the movie Anna lives and Kate dies from her cancer. Yes I know wie all want to see the one with cancer survive because we’re all so afraid of cancer BUT the way they described Kates cancer in the book/movie it’s pretty much terminal and the doctors are just reaching and trying other methods to keep her alive, so it doesn’t make sense that one kidney transplant saves her live and she lives happily ever after - that’s (sadly) not how it works (most of the time)

This point aside, Kate not dying defies the WHOLE POINT of the story! News flash, in the story Kate wants to die! Because she is tired and her parents can’t accept it! That’s the whole point why Anna gets the lawyer and fights for her bodily autonomy. Anna never would’ve done it if Kate hadn’t told her too! So even the logic ending is, that Kate can die in peace because she is done fighting and has accepted the end of her journey.  But most aren’t ready for that conversation because death is something bad and cancer is the big evil disease we’re all scared of ... 

So yeah I don’t tell you want to think - this is just my opinion - I just think that Kate surviving defies the whole point of the story and also is missing the point, because My sister’s keeper is not a “I beat the evil cancer” story but one of parents (understandably) not being able to let their kid die while completely forgetting to listen to their kid and about being tired of fighting an endless fight and knowing when it’s your time and making peace with it.

so yeah sorry for the rant but I had to get it out.

❧ genre: pro-hero hitoshi, adoptive siblings, happy ending

❧ chapter warnings: none, hiroki and hanami shinsou*

[multi-chap masterlist] [previous chapter]

Hitoshi quietly walked around the kitchen, his purple eyes searching the area like a hawk and a playful smirk on his face. When he rounded the corner of the counter and looked down the hall, he barely caught sight of pastel purple colored hair and heard a giddy laugh. He chuckled and started to whistle, making his descent in the direction of even more giggles and squeals. Your own voice could be heard trying to shush the noises but failing and laughing along.

A spontaneous game of hide and seek wasn’t what Hitoshi expected after arriving home from a long day at DisneyLand, he was thinking more along the lines of a nap, but lots of unexpected things seemed to happen in the hero’s life. Absolutely wonderful unexpected things. Such as yourself or learning that he would be a father to not just one child but twins on your first try at having kids. If Hitoshi Shinsou’s life wasn’t chaos before, it damn sure was now, now that he had two little rugrats on his hands, but he loved and cherished every last minute of it. Especially the spontaneous games of hide and seek which were always three on one.

“Hmm, I wonder where those little monsters could be,” Hitoshi questioned as he got closer to the bathroom that the noise came from.

Flipping on the lights, he entered and looked around, thinking just where two small children would fit perfectly. Out of the corner of his eye was movement inside of the bathtub, a smirk grew and Hitoshi quickly lunged towards it, hand reaching out and tagging a body. You squealed at the touch, your husband obviously surprised to find just you inside.

“Ah, using yourself as bait huh?” He snickered and leaned over, hands starting to tickle your body roughly and causing you to squirm and laugh and plead. “Where are they!”

“H-Help!” You struggled between snorts and giggles.

“You think those two pipsqueaks are gonna -”

Before Hitoshi could finish, one of the bathroom cabinets were busting open and two little toddlers were clumsily barreling out with loud war cries. Turning around Hitoshi laughed as they both clung to his legs, small hands punching and pulling at his jeans.

“Mimi, save mama!” The little boy instructed with a determined face.

As your husband was distracted, your daughter Hanami was reaching out her small hand inside of the tub. You took it and climbed out before snatching her up, playfully kicking Hitoshi in the rear. He scoffed and turned to try and grab for you but as quick as a cat you dodged and snatched up Hiroki. With a satisfied cackle you started to bolt out of the bathroom, both twins waving at Hitoshi with smiles.

“You little shits!” Hitoshi grunted as he started to take off after you.

Your pace quickened, both twins squealing and giggling as you ran into the living room and jumped onto the massive couch that served as the safe space. Hitoshi smiled as cheers erupted from his little family, fists pumping into the air. Hiroki standing up and hopping, making the Mickey Mouse ears he wore slump over his eyes. Hanami stood and held out her arms as Hitoshi got closer, leaping into his own and hugging him close.

“We got you daddy!” She chimed and poked his cheek.

Your husband kissed her cheek before attacking it with small bites as he tickled her little body in his arms and plopped down on the couch beside you. Hiroki quickly crawled over you to join in on the attack, a full on family dog-pile and tickle war ensuing. After a few minutes the chaos started to die down, small hands were rubbing their tired eyes and little yawns were sounding off one after the other. You smiled as both kids started to curl and snuggle up on top of you and Hitoshi.

“I think we all deserve a big birthday nap before dinner right?” Hitoshi questioned with his own yawn, one arm wrapping around you and pulling you close and the other wrapping around the twins.

Resting your head on his chest, you nodded and hummed. The lavenderette turned to kiss the top of your head with a warm smile, both of you quietly chuckling upon realizing the twins were already drooling and passed out.

“Can you believe they’re three already?” You asked while running fingers through Hiroki’s pastel colored purple hair.

“Not at all.” Hitoshi replied and ruffled Hanami’s purple, almost pink, tresses.

You truly didn’t care that both twins took after their father for the most part, it only sucked when you had not one, but three sets of violet colored eyes looking at you when all three were in trouble or begging for things. But now Hitoshi knew the struggle you went through all those years when it came to him. The twins could break all the toys or spill all of the milk in the world and he still could never bring himself to get mad when those precious little pools of tiny galaxies were looking his way. Your kids were beautiful, all his looks but all of your attitude and determination.

A soft hum came from you, making Hitoshi look and chuckle as he saw you passed out as well. He leaned close and placed another sweet and long kiss to your head before pressing his cheek to it. The man’s own eyes were growing heavy as he yawned again, a sleepy smile forming on his face. Your small team of two was now one of four and he wouldn’t trade anything in the world for it. Hitoshi could no longer hold his entire world in just two hands, but at least he had two long arms and a massive couch to accommodate for it.
