A/N: So, this story is coming to an end- but it doesn't have to. Please let me know if you'd like it to extend beyond 26 chapters, if you'd like me to continue their adventure. I'm already thinking of it (or the possibility of a longer fic) but I'd like to get prompts from you all, too.
Thanks for sticking with this! Let me know what you think!
