No Rest In This World - Ch 59 & 60

"In Your Arms Lies Eternity" & "Epilogue"

Gentle as a breeze, a hand brushed the bare skin of her shoulder, familiar callouses following well-worn treads that had long ago mapped the shape of her body. "Ariane," a familiar voice said, low and quiet and achingly tender. For a lingering moment she stayed in the safety of the precipice, a desperate hope building in her aching chest. Once she turned there would be finality, a question answered one way or another. There was always the chance it would not resolve as she wished, hopes dashed at the sight of another's face, the voice and touch a hallucination of a forlorn mind. But Dorian was grinning, retreating, head bowed in the bestowal of privacy. She did not need these walls built to guard her heart from sorrow. It was real. He was alive. He was there. Ariane turned. "Mi Corazón," said Lucanis.

IT IS DONE! WE HAVE REACHED THE END! I have a lot of feelings (and some thanks I'd like to give) if you'll follow me below the cut:

It has not quite dawned on me that we're really here at the end. This fic began as a much simpler, much less expansive idea nearly a year and a half ago and quickly exploded into his mammoth of a work that has become almost my second job. I have loved every minute of it (even the minutes that I loved maybe a little less) and so much of that comes from the joy of sharing it with all of you. This is a story that has tested me both creatively and emotionally in so many ways. I've spent much of the morning crying on and off, half just from the sheer shock of it being over and half because I'm so amazed I actually got this beast over the finish line. Thank you to everyone who has read, and especially those of you who have left such wonderful comments along the way. I genuinely do not think I would have made it this far without that encouragement and I am forever grateful to everyone who has loved this story as much as me.

A few special thank yous:

- My eternal gratitude to my bestie @armoredinmoonlight who served as my fearless beta reader for almost the entirety of the fic. Thank you for your feedback, fixing my many spelling and grammar errors (I won't hold against you the ones you didn't catch lol), and most of all for your endless enthusiasm. If there's anyone who loves Ariane as much as I do it's you. You honestly deserve financial compensation for the amount of work you did here, but we can settle by you sending me some therapy bills. I deserve it.

- To @genjyoandgojyoandhakkai—one of this story's first fans, a huge supporter, and an incredible friend. Thank you for listening to all my thoughts over the last year, encouraging me when I need it, and being delightfully unhinged always (the best way to be). You've helped me more than you know. Thank you for being the Xi to my Ariane.

- To all the people at the Authors of Thedas discord server who have supported me along the way with your jokes, your tears, and your love. To Twi, @doc-notreally-salas, KC, Lyudmila, and Birb—you're the best.

- To @serialsforbellara and @falonwithbenefits for your lovely comments and enthusiasm. I see you and it means the world.

If you have made it this far please leave a comment so that I can thank YOU! Genuinely, every single reader is so special to me and I would love to give you a virtual hug for joining me on this wild adventure.

While I am sad to close this chapter of the story, this is not the last we will see of Ariane, Lucanis, or any others. If you spent the final two chapters thinking "wow this feels late in the game to be creating new plot threads" you would be right! There is a sequel in the works, the plot of which you can probably guess from the ending here. It will feature some brand new POVs, new drama, and in true No Rest fashion, no shortage of angst.

I will be taking a break before I get cracking on that (both to clear my head and also to work on some ideas that have had to take a backseat for the last year), but will hopefully be back for more soon.

Thank you again to everyone! And some "thank you for your encouragement even if you're not a reader" tags for @slothquisitor @sorrygoldfish @mustardprecum and @skogrr. (And @dracoliskline who I know has read even if they're not yet caught up haha)
