And here we are, at the end of my first Band of Brothers fanfiction! I sincerely hope you enjoyed reading my story, I hope you enjoyed reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it.
Eugene and Renee are my Band of Brothers OTP, I was so sad when she died that I had to do this "What if she lived" AU. I tried to keep it as realistic as possible, which sadly meant that there was no way for Eugene and Renee to meet again before he went back to America. Trust me, I wanted them to get together too, but there was just no realistic explanation. So instead, they meet six years later in Paris, purely by coincidence! That scene was inspired by a similar scene in Night, by Elie Weisel. I left the end of that scene open-ended so I suppose you can decide for yourself what happens when he turns, but personally, I like to think that he recognizes her, and they go and have a nice chat and catch up at a cafe somewhere.
I know I labeled this story as Friendship/Romance but there wasn't much overt romance in the story. That was because again, I wanted to keep it realistic, and I just didn't see a really passionate romance forming just from sending letters. I left the romance to lurk in the subtext, and I'm quite happy with that.
Speaking of romance though, I am planning another Eugene/Renee story, this time set in a modern AU, with a bit of a twist, and it will be much more romance-y. Let me know if you would be interested in that! (I'm going to write it anyways, but feedback would be nice, haha.)
Finally I would like to thank ChocAndSnow19, airborneIMPREZA, and Paratrooper56, my faithful reviewers, who were so kind as to leave lovely reviews on every single chapter. Thank you so much, and thanks to anybody else who read my story.
Thank you again and again, for reading! I look forward to seeing you again soon.
Currahee!
