A/N:

Hello, everyone! Paddehfeets here.

I first wrote Prisoner while in middle school. I had never done a fanfiction this big, but I was always encouraged to keep going. I'm pretty sure I've read every review on this and my other fics. I cannot describe the both heartwarming and bittersweet feeling I have whenever I see someone leave a review or follow/favorite the story/me in 2023. I truly do cherish all of it, even though I haven't updated. Which was apparently a problem I had in the first place, holy shit! I checked every A/N and almost ALL of them were about being late on posting. A little embarrassing for me, not gonna lie.

10 years after starting this fic, I'm now a college grad with a BFA in creative writing and am pursuing a master's degree. Hopefully, one of my books will be on the shelves at Barnes & Noble; that's the ultimate goal.

Onto the matter at hand. I'm deciding to, once and for all, close the book on this fic. I know that this decision might be disappointing, and I truly am sorry if it is. I wish I could give an answer as to how this was going to end, but I don't think I ever came up with a tangible plot in the first place. All that's important is that it would've been a happy ending, contrary to literally every single one of my Loki one shots. I was a crazy kid.

While I've made the decision to finally, fully end this fanfic, I'm not going to delete my account or any of the fics on it. These stories and writing fanfiction boosted me toward all of my accomplishments. I've been published twice and have awards and shit! A lot of your comments kept me going back in the 2012-2014 era. Deleting this account would be a disservice to child me and all of the support I've garnered over the years, active or not.

Thank you to everyone who supported me over the years, whether you've only just discovered the fic or if you read this all the way back in 2012. Please take care.

Much love! Per aspera ad astra!

PS: I just bought my tickets for Quantumania and I'm so excited for real. A lot of MCU projects have been mildly to very disappointing since Endgame, so I hope this isn't one of them. Yes, I'm still a Marvel fiend.
