i know the ache this leaves. i know how not easy this is. As much as you are happy to finish, each ending is like a small death. Especially with characters you love, and you do love them. You mourn them in a way, because they are part of you and you them.
C, you should be so proud of this work and how far you've come. I can only say that because i can look back at older things and see it in my own work.
There is a temptation to keep writing these characters, but there is also a time to let them go. Well, maybe you will bring them back for a short time, who knows.
But i hope you will let yourself fly and bring us new characters and places.
Thank you for sharing this epic with us.
i await your next adventures. Much respect and love xoxo
