Thank you to anyone who put in the time to read this, an even bigger thank you to those who commented. Some of the messages were especially kind and honestly I've been so chuffed reading them.

For those who asked, this was the end. The only reason it was left as "incomplete" for so long was I intended to go back and edit the first few chapters format so they matched the rest. Buuuuut I'm really lazy and I still haven't done it...

So, this is the end.

I started writing this in my second year of uni (a fair few years ago now) and continued while going through some stuff; to be honest it just gave me something else to focus on more than anything else. Every time I began to lose faith in it though your support kept me going. So again, thank you.

I don't intend to follow this up because quite honestly I can't think of a direction for it to go in. My end goal was for it to always end this way so it could be parallel to the actual cannon as some sort of alternate timeline rather than distorting it. That said, some of the last few (and recent) messages have got me thinking again. If I can think of any more you'll see it on here, but that's not a promise as I quite like how this wrapped up.

Thank you again.
