My schedule turned out to clear up for a bit, which leaves me with time to write, in these winter months, as I am a musician and a mechanic, i'm sure some pieces of my writing style are falling in place for you, with that information.
Regarding the ending of this story, I got some messages and critiques saying it felt rushed, or was a massive change in pace.
I understand that, however, like I said in the A/N, in a lot of ways, the story was written backwards, it was also originally much shorter. After deciding to continue from the first few chapters, I wrote the last few. I've written several other stories, long and short, in other places, and I always have the beginning and the ending to work with. I understand that it wasn't the ending a lot of people expected or wanted. But it was my take on the story, my entire plan was to combine the whimsical side of LiS with the truth of reality and it was always going to be that way.
The other plan, which I never mentioned outside vague hints, was the fact that I was quietly doing drafts for a sequel story, and it required Max and co. to be reunited the way they were in the end. I'd like to thank everyone that stuck with me through this adventure, and for the kind words and the constructive critiques I received. The LiS community is one of the best i've ever been involved with, and you guys are hella amazing
So i'm happy to present a new beginning:
