A/N: Here we are; last chapter. This has got to be one of the longest Simon Snow stories I've ever written.

Carry On is here at last! I'm almost done with it. Jeez, I'm gonna have to change so much in my future stories.


Baz opened the door to his room and stepped in. Simon was sitting on his bed reading something; he looked up as Baz entered.

"You're back," he commented.

"We need to talk."

That was enough; Simon straightened up and put the book down. He looked at Baz expectantly. "Alright."

Baz took a deep breath and crossed the room to sit next to Simon on the bed.

"While we were talking," he began, "through the notes, I'm pretty sure that I was kind of in love with you… and when you told me, I felt like someone had ripped out my heart and crushed it. I couldn't trust you anymore."

"You shouldn't have," Simon murmured. "What I did was awful."

"Let me finish," Baz growled and Snow fell silent. "I thought that, because of what my dad said, nobody else could really care either." He explained about what had happened with the nymph and how he understood now that people did care about what he thought and felt, and that he knew he wasn't like other vampires.

When he finished, there was a pause.

"I thought, the only way for you to like me at all, was to put a spell on the notes," Simon whispered. "I knew that, even after we really started talking, that I didn't know you, and I felt kinda guilty about keeping my identity a secret. You're a great person, Baz." They looked at each other for a moment, before Simon continued. "In a way… I guess I fell in love with you through the notes we were sending. Which I know, isn't fair to you… but either way, I hope you can forgive me for… everything?"

Baz stared at him and finally said, "I think I can do that. You did save my life."

"That's true," Simon whispered and Baz realized how close they were sitting, exactly. "I did."

Baz gave him a look and snorted softly. "Wait. But sometimes I got notes when you were still in the room?"

"Behind you, but in the same room. I was crazy." Simon shrugged. "Sometimes I would pretend to be studying and would actually be writing to you." He paused and then smiled even wider. "You smell really nice."

"It's that stuff Ethimei put on my side," Baz mumbled. "The whole place smelled amazing—"

Simon pulled him closer and planted a soft kiss on his lips, despite being surprised, Baz found himself starting to grin. After a moment Simon pulled back and smiled sheepishly. "Sorry."

Baz turned his whole body to face him and wrapped his arms around Simon's neck. "I'm pretty sure I'm okay with that."

He leaned forward and rested their foreheads together, feeling himself shiver as Simon wound his arms around his waist.

"Merlin," Simon breathed. "It took a nymph for you to get a grip?"

"What can I say?" Baz shrugged. "She knew my mom."

Simon chuckled. "You're ridiculous."

Baz gave a large grin and Simon pulled him in for another kiss.

When he woke up, Baz almost freaked out to find Simon's arm around his waist. He tensed up and searched his mind for a reason of why this was happening; then he remembered earlier and relaxed. He could hear Snow's breathing and could tell that he was definitely asleep.

Baz slipped out of Simon's grip and stood up; he picked up his wand and sat down at the edge of the bed to put his shoes back on.

"And just what do you think you're doing?"

Baz rolled his eyes at Simon's voice and turned around to look at him.

"Hi," he said.

Simon scooted forward until they were sitting next to each other. "Well?"

"I'm performing a complicated act of putting on my shoes," Baz snorted. "Try not to swoon if it's too much for your brain to handle."

Simon grinned broadly and leaned over to nuzzle at Baz's jaw line. "Thanks for the faith in my intelligence."

"Anytime."

"No one even knows what happened to him," said Dev. "Malcolm just disappeared."

"Maybe I scared him off?" Baz tried and Dev shrugged. From around the corner, Simon, Agatha, and Penelope appeared, Simon looked up smiled at Baz. "Hey," said Baz. "I'll see you guys later, yeah?"

Dev and Niall nodded and Baz waved to them as he approached Simon and the others.

He saw Simon say something to the girls and they also parted ways.

"Hi," said Simon when he and Baz caught up with each other and started just randomly wandering down the hall.

"Hello," Baz replied.

They had fallen into step with each other and Baz found that oddly entertaining. They walked close together; Baz even felt their hand brush multiple times.

Simon suddenly started laughing. "You know, someday I am gonna tell people this entire story and they'll think I made it up, it'll be so wild."

Baz snorted. "How would you even begin a story like that?"

"Easy." Simon cleared his throat. "There was a letter on Baz's desk again…"


A/N: Endings… not my strength. I never know if it's the right ending!

Anyway, let me know how you liked it. I sure had fun writing it…. Some parts weren't very good, in my opinion, but I rarely like entire stories that I write anyway.

Okay, I just finished reading this fanfiction for the second time and I love it so much that I decided to recommend it to you. It's called Must Have Done Something Right by MissPronounced, it's an HP, Albus and Scorpius fanfic and it's the best Harry Potter fanfiction I have ever read. Seriously, if you haven't read this before, go read it now. It's amazing.

I'm thinking about writing a Percy Jackson fanfiction at last. What do you think? Please review if you have the time and thank you for reading! : )
