Author's note
I would first like to thank you for choosing to read this story. I've been working on the French version (L'amour donné n'est jamais perdu) of this fanfiction for six years before I finally gathered the courage to translate it to English. This fiction is more than 200k words long, so please humor me until the end. I promise it will be worth your time. Just remember that English isn't my first language and that my beta is doing a great job. (Thank you FictionWriter91)
I made this author's note for two reasons: First, it is an explanation of how to read the story, and second, it is a warning about the content of this fiction.
1- Reading the story:
- The story will be told from both my OC's point of view and an absent narrator. The transitions will be clear, don't worry.
- Italics = thoughts
- Italic/bold = memories
- Bold= writing (e-mails, notes, etc.)
2- Warnings and disclaimer:
The story contains: major character deaths, suicide attempt, self-arm, rape, alcoholism, dependence, torture, and violence. If I forgot something, feel free to tell me, but at this point, expect this fiction to go dark at times. It will be rated accordingly.
There are ''light'' chapters with romantic, heart warming and funny parts as well. A lot of them actually.
This fiction was written with the idea that those guys are mercenaries (will be as canon as possible) and have to deal with heavy stuff, and the OC is very new to their world (OC is NOT Mary-sue, don't worry). It is a finished story, so don't worry about it being abandoned. It will be completed.
Finally, I'll say it here once and for all: I do not own The Expendables or any of its characters. I only have my OC and this storyline.
Thank you for taking your time to acknowledge this note and…
Enjoy your reading!
