A/N

Okay, so I have realised a set number of things.

One, we have hit four years on this fic and we- I- have nineteen chapters to show for it. I'll give myself a clap on the back instead of a berating for, you know, mental health reasons.

Second, at the present time I am writing this, the fic makes up about 80k words. Not sure if that means anything to anybody, but that is the length of a healthy novel, so you know, well done me.

Third, a very kind bean has PM'd me and given me inspiration to come back to RIC- and I know I say such a thing very often with nothing more than a chapter to support such a statement but here's the thing: the story is finished.

Yes. I have written the ending to Ragnarok.

Just to annoy everyone though, I will continue to hold out and update it two chapters a week; leave you something to look forward to. Posting times will be strict from here on out so mark your calendars my guys, every Monday at 19:00 GMT which I believe is 14:00 in EST, there will be a chapter update. As well, Thursday at the same. This A/N will be followed with a chapter a little earlier but every other update should follow this rule.

I want to say a massive thank you to a few people and the first being Shirzaydm. You have stuck with me for- God, four years. I started this fic when I was fifteen- I started writing when I was fifteen but I had been planning it for at least a year before and I am now nine-teen. Throughout the years I have had changing ideas on the plot and the shitty thing with uploading and writing a story chapter-by-chapter, is that you can't really go back and change something. That being said, it has developed my writing skills and I can see my different 'writing-selves'- as it were- in each chapter.

So much has happened in those years and I have poured so much of it into this fic. I have procrastinated and hovered over the delete button of it more times than I can count but there are people who keep coming back. Who message me just to say, 'what the fuck, Crystal. Where is the next chapter?" Well they say it nicer than that, but I read between the lines and they are single-handedly the reason this fic has more than five chapters. I want to thank all of those people. I want to thank (you'd think I'd won a Grammy or something) my betas, there are a few which I have to go into the archive to find the names of because my horrible writing patterns might have driven them off and I can't remember their names so thank you very, very much to * HeyRachelViolet, Peachlin, and Tahliahliahlia*. If I forget to fill that in it'll be really embarrassing.

Not to throw myself into the fire but- if you look at the title of this fic, this is V1. Volume one. I am trying to be more disciplined and I would like to promise that the second volume is coming out faster than four years but my hands are tied. I am currently doing a Psychology degree in university, and I am only in my second year, so there is a high chance the next two years at uni are going to be crazy- but we shall see.

So don't worry folks, there is more to come.

All that said, go forth and enjoy the rest of 'Ragnarok is Coming'.

- Crystal.

P.S.

I have started a small little story called 'The Song of Forgotten Warriors'. Don't ask me what it's about because, genuinely, I am making that shit up as I go along. It is good though, I will admit. And, as every fic writer can probably agree, we are masters at leaving ourselves little pieces throughout chapters that can be picked up later in the story so it's not complete junk, just a creative outlet that I don't care much for. Really the purpose is to keep the writing skills sharp and just make a story that's entertaining, not artistically and professionally 'good' like I write with RIC, but full of those little things that make you attracted to what I call a 'junk food' story (basic tropes and the such). Do check her out on either Wattpad or FF but updates will be slow- slow, coming from me, is damn slow.
