I don't think there could have been a better ending for this story (given the start of the story). I liked the last paragraph of the author's note. Hope... Hope in this story, hope in their true love, hope in Callen and Sage that they do get together.
Now that I have read the whole story, I must say it's a great story.You write amazingly well. You drew me completely in the story. You said exactly what you should where you should. The imagery were great too. I still remember the scene where Callen gets up to leave and Sage stops him. Small things that make this story beautiful.
Your characters are so endearing. They are not perfect. But yes, they are both so noble. It feel a honor to read their tale. It has been a real emotional roller-coaster this last hour. You have well infused humour, romance, tragedy and a bit of mystery in this story. Great story. There's so much more that I want to say about this story. But I'll just say: Kudos to you, Fishie. It's... perfect!
P.S The graphics, on the story page, was stunning too.
