I promised an epilogue in *winces* May 2016. My style has changed so much that I'm just gonna do a few snapshots of life and end it. I'm sorry for dragging this out, but, hey, at least it's done!

For old times' sake, disclaimer: I own nothing.

Age 5

Mikiko was precocious, prone to sleeping late, and obsessed with giant teddy bears.

Akihiko, in female child format.

Akihiko did absolutely nothing to encourage this, according to him.

Misaki could barely get her to her bed because her floor was every bit as much a see of stuff as Akihiko's had been before Misaki had started cleaning it. He would have cleaned this room to, except that Miki-chan cried if he so much as put one toy on a shelf.

Age 8

Misaki and Akihiko broke up. Misaki went to live with his brother in Osaka for nearly a month, having taken a leave of absence from work. Mikiko shuffled back and forth on the train until, in a desperate attempt to make her parents love each other again, she went north, to Hokkaido, instead of south. Akihiko and Misaki had both chased her down, she was milling around the Hokkaido station when the next train pulled in and deposited both of them in front of her.

They talked out their differences and Misaki returned home.

Age 13

Mikiko had some very uncomfortable questions about her birth. Akihiko laid it out in blunt terms while Misaki tried to suffocate his very red face with a large Suzuki-san.

Age 14

Mikiko's first boyfriend left the apartment crying while Mikiko screamed at her parents about scaring people off.

(This repeated four times before she just stopped bringing them around)

Age 17

They actually liked this one.

Age 18

Mikiko brought home a girl because, why not, she's flexible.

Akihiko shrugged.

Misaki asked if the girlfriend wanted tea.

Things won't work out with this one, much like everyone else, but she knows her parents won't care.

That's all that matters.

The End

Cheyanne: And with this, I close the chapter of my life that has been Junjou Romantica. It's been real. Thanks for reading. If I do ever write more JR (and, you never know) it'll be on Ao3, where I'm based now, under the same moniker. Thanks for years of putting up with my nonsense, hiatuses and Author's Notes and thanks for being there.
