author's note:

hi everyone,

like i said earlier, AoS was never supposed to be a tragedy and so i deviated from canon in its finale. to really finish the fic comprehensively, though, i caught up on over 200 chapters of one piece that i had abandoned and, well, ended up remembering why i had started AoS in the first place.

so because apparently i am not ready to give up one piece or spade yet, i started a new fic that serves as an alternate ending/continuation of AoS if ace had truly died. if you'd rather not read that, i completely understand. but if you can stomach some angst and hurt as spade tries to make sense of life without her duo partner, then i'd love for you to check out shambles and let me know your thoughts.

thank you for reading ace of spades. for everyone who had to wait years and years for its conclusion, i appreciate your patience very much and hope that it met your expectations. ace x spade are the real OGs here, and i hope you enjoyed their story as much as i have.

xoxo,
m.n
