Hey, guys! I just wanted to say a few things about this fic since it's come to an end.

This is absolutely my favorite fic I've ever written to date. I saw my own writing improve over the course of it, and it makes me so happy. I got better at character development and overall writing more three dimensional characters.

I thought I'd tell you a bit about the original pairing for this story, which is probably a bit obvious: it was going to be Sirius and Alexia. In fact, I was fully set on that idea to the point that I began to set it up via the bond.

I came up with a plan. I wanted to write her having multiple relationships, so I had her date Lucius first. I wrote the plan to be Lucius for two years, then Regulus for another two, and then Sirius from then on.

It's just… I grew to hate the idea of Alexia and Sirius together. So I had to change that, and by then, Alexia and Lucius were together, and I loved that. But, like, I definitely couldn't have that be the end pairing, so I changed it to Regulus, much to Padfootl0ve's dismay.

And I was 100% going to have it be that. I'm sure I'd have been somewhat content with them together. It's just that I read this fic that really inspired me to create a deeper character for Antonin, one where he had reason for what he did, and perhaps stopped doing it after a while. And thus began Dolohov Thing Part 2.

So as you can tell through the course of the story, Regulus and Antonin were my back and forth for a good while. I was super stuck, but I knew while writing the multiple trios dilemma that I needed Antonin to be the final pairing.

And hey, I did it!

Anyway, I know this ending is a bit… weak. I can honestly say I've never really finished a fic before, and this was what I came up with - touching on many people's stories a bit and making sure I was happy with them. Alexia married, Regulus free to be with Gabrielle, Harry and Ginny engaged, and James and Lily pregnant. I'm happy with that.

That being said, I did have an idea for a series related to this fic. A series called What If where I explore all the what ifs of Alexia's universe. For example:

What if Charlus and Dorea hadn't gone to St. Mungo's that day?

What if someone from MTD had permanently gotten stuck in her universe?

What if Alexia had worked as a Death Eater for some time after getting the Mark?

What if she developed feelings for Sirius?

What if the Dolohovs were even crazier? (Padfootl0ve's idea, blame her)

What if James hadn't trusted her as much as he did?

So! These are only a few of the ideas Padfootl0ve and I came up with, and I'm going to do them. Some of them may be longer, depending on how much I like them. When they're posted, I'll make sure to put What If at the beginning of the description.

Alexia's universe is my favorite that I've written, so there may very well be many side fics for her. I just can't say yet.

I want to thank all of you from the bottom of my heart for reading, following, and reviewing. This fic means the world to me, and I'm so glad some of you enjoyed it.

I love you all and once again, thank you for following along on this journey.
