Author's Note: Well, the whole chapter here is an author's note, but I might as well put the label.
Thanks
What the heading says. Really. For all of my review-begging, I really am grateful for all you guys have given me. Especially feedback, but also faving, watching, and even bumping up the numbers on my hits page. While I can't possibly list all of those who've read this, know I'm grateful to all of you. I can't tell you how much I appreciate the time you took out of your lives to read my ramblings. You've made me happy, made me inspired, and made my day very often.
Chapter Titles
Here are the songs from which the chapter titles hail, in order as FF has them on the drop-down list. As most of the titles are taken completely out of context from a song that's decidedly more romantic than the chapter, I've provided a bit of a guide. If any relevant lyrics outside the title appear in the song (even just the rest of the line), it will be marked *L. If there are relevant lyrics a bit farther away, it will be marked **L.

Sequel
I can't promise you when the sequel is going to get here, but it will get here sometime. I may tentatively promise you its first chapter should be up within a week of the end of Unsurvivable. It could be published earlier if I just really feel like it, but I would count on having to be a bit more patient.
Its current title is Break Out, and I'm pretty sure I'll be sticking with that. It is now published at fanfiction (dotnet)/ s/8947583/1/
Well, that's all for now, folks. Thanks again for your support and the feedback that has shaped the series (the sequel drastically so), and I'll see you all later.
With love,
NOFO Journey
