Some thank yous and words from the author below the cut:

I just wanted to take a moment to say THANK YOU to everyone who stuck with me on this, readers and friends alike--some starting as the former and becoming the later. It's been two years in the making and I just wanted to say how amazing it's been.

A special thanks to Hayden, who betaed for plot, and read crappy un betaed versions of chapters for me.

And an enormous thank you and declaration of love to my dear Kathe, who had been with this story since I posted a journal on LJ over two years ago looking for a beta for "a new big project I've been thinking about". She has not only been an integral part of this story's conception and life, but has also become a truly dear friend. I will never be able to express my gratitude fully. Thank you darling.

So, one last time, thank you to everyone. I hope you enjoyed How to Build a Heart out of Ashes, and the changeling!verse, as I know I have, and I hope this isn't the end of it for you guys, as I know it isn't the end of this verse for me.

If you have any questions, thoughts, comments, ideas, anything, I can be contacted in my ask box.

Love, Teumessian

Don't listen to your friends - see the despair behind their eyes Don't listen to your friends - they only care once in a while ~ Just listen to your friends - trust that they're fair, look in their eyes Just listen to your friends - they only care and hope you're alright

I can feel the draw, I can feel it pulling me back.

On a more serious note, with the near completion of the roughs of all the chapters, I've been going back and doing mostly minor (with a few more deliberate changes) to earlier Ashes chapters. And I was wondering how people felt about embedded art within fics? Mid chapter? At the end of chapters? If I could get permission from artists, would people be interested in Ashes being updated with a few pieces of embedded fanart?

A song to go with Chapter 26

And as hard as it is When I'm thinking about you I wouldn't change a minute of it When you're caught up in the hurt On the other side of the earth Just meet me in the memory When the waves hit you now and then You're awash in what we might have been Just meet me in the memory

~

We can never have it all So take the spring and leave the fall Right where it's crawling Separation is the scar Across the world to where you are It's on your heart never fades away

Just meet me in the memory
