Awwww, what a sweet ending!
Sorry to see you bringing this to a close, but totally respect the decision you had to make based on what you wanted to write and how you wanted to write it.
It's been a joy following your tales of the Reapers (even the PG pirates) :=)
Thank you so very much! I've always really enjoyed and appreciated your thoughts and musings on my crazy family. Bear has always appreciated the support (and in this story he has gone on to become the immortal God of Magic's best friend and other half.
Hilariously, there was a time I debated making Quinn cursed into being Bear, but eventually I scrapped the idea.
I've just realized that there was so much I was cutting out due to anxiety over the forum's rules (that most people tend to tread on top of anyways) and I just realized that - from where I stand in life - I would much rather be honest and true about dark subjects then try to pretend they aren't the dark subjects they are.
The good old PG pirates never even got a chance to be pirates, and I fully intend to rectify that in my rewrite!
But again, thank you so much for all of your support and for your kind words.
Thank you for sharing with us what happens to the Reapers.
I am, of course, very happy that Aleccas got his second chance and is happily reunited with Mary.
After Majnun's sacrifice to prevent Aleccas from losing Mary and Eveline, I'm overjoyed that he too spends an eternity with his beloved Anne.
Congratulations, Livvielove, for bring your wonderful tale to a convincing and satisfying end.
What saddens me is that your post sounded as if you're also bidding farewell to this forum. Say it isn't so! I'm not a member of the other forum you mention and never visit it.
Will I still get PMs from you about Reapers 2.0 and Song of the Nightingale? Will you still be gracing the forum with your fun, witty, dark, and moody presence?
Curious minds wanna know!
@oshizu of course! It was the very least I could do! It feels sad to end the Reapers here, but it was just something I had to do. Especially the epilogue. I needed to be sure that part got out there after everything. Anyways, before the sad part continues --
Yes! Mary and Alec do stay together and it is quite adorable how Alec courts his beloved Mary. I can safely say I can see the rewrite variation of Mary's life going very differently, so I'm kind of sad that I won't get to show this part of them but I guess I'm happy at the same time. It's mixed emotions.
Majnun finally found his peace in death and he got to rejoin his darling Anne in the Essence. I may have teared up a bit getting the pictures for it because it was just so adorable and sad, but they're together now! So it's a happy sad now. XD
Thank you so much for your kind words.
Am I leaving the forum? No, absolutely not. Well, I suppose I shouldn't say "absolutely not" because I, you know, "never say never" sort of thing... but I am definitely going to (for always as long as Carl's is here and people still want me to) send PMs regarding Faction of the Lost Ones, The Reapers, and Song of the Nightingale.
In fact, I may do a quick post describing the stories so that way if anyone wants to follow what I'm writing they absolutely can via PM. Otherwise I simply mentioned Boolprop in case those who were here and ALSO there wanted to follow along with the stories.
My plan is to eventually finish my Nix story and then just return to being a casual poster on here at best. I've just... seen too many things that make me a little uncomfortable and I feel a bit rubbed the wrong way after attempting to write my story how I have to be as active of a presence. Never fear! I'll actively lurk and comment on the stories I've been following recently (I couldn't stay away from the Mori's even if I tried), but my days of starting stories on this forum are past, unfortunately.
Thank you so much once again for all of your love and support on this story. This was not an easy choice for me to make, but it was one that was a long time coming. <3 Your thoughts and love for my characters won't ever be forgotten, and of course!
As with all my Majnun chapters - I have a spare for you!
Sane Majnun is incredibly thoughtful and deep, it seems (snickers).
These two are my second favorite couple. I believe the official list is now:
>Quinn and Esmerelda ('ship-name: Quizzie)
>Majnun and Anne ('ship-name: Majann - I believe?)
>Jupiter and Eveline ('ship-name: Eviter)
>Alec and Mary (No ship name that I'm aware of)
>Tragic and Agnes (because "Lamb" is far too adorable a nickname).
I suppose I'm technically not done with this story yet. I never did say what happened to the Keepers or any of my misc. notes on things I always intended to share. I might go through that and add it in, but when that's all said in done it's time to mark this story as completed.
