This really is it – no more!

Stella helped Connor to his feet. "Well, we did it!"
"You did it," he said softly. "I never realised that's what the prophecies meant – that you'd close the Hellmouth, once and for all!"
She smiled lovingly at him. "Neither did I, until Estrellita came. Then somehow, I just knew."
He hugged her. "Well, we've saved the world, and our line is destined to save humans from themselves. We've done pretty well, haven't we?"
She nodded, and smiled. "Time to go?"
"Time to go," he agreed.
They walked, hand in hand, towards the pulsing light where Estrellita stood waiting for them, knowing that their work was done:
No one need ever fear the night again.

Endnote: Firstly, to everyone who got this far, thanks for reading it! Secondly, I realised when reading it back to myself how Narnia-esque bits of this were, and how Discworld-esque others were! It wasn't intentional, but it just goes to show how much the things you read influence you.
Oh, and Stella, Estrellita and the twins are mine. Please don't use them without asking me first! But everyone else is Joss's, and I have no claim to them.
Once again, thanks for reading, and I hope you enjoyed my whimsies!
