Author's Notes
For those of you who stuck with this from the very beginning to the very end, I owe you immense gratitude. For all of you who reviewed, I want to particularly say thank you. I write because I love to write, but those reviews made me want to post all the more. Really, everyone who read this is wonderful. I'm so sad that the show's over, but I'm glad there are still fans out there recreating and rereading Neal's story.
Before I sign off, I thought I'd share this: the story is called Ends and Means because of the well-known question 'Does the end satisfy the means?' Apart from this question being very relevant to Neal and Peter's relationship, I thought about it because I wanted to explore a different ending to the whole Keller treasure situation, one in which Neal ends up happy but at a great personal cost. The question can be applied to this story: Was the ending (Neal's happiness, family, and chance at a criminal record-free past) worth the means to get there (the loss of use in his legs)? I have my own opinion, which I think shows in the story, but feel free to make up your own mind.
That's all. Until next time!
