Wow... of course this is a thank you note because I've finally reached the end of my first official fanfiction. I want to thank you all for being so patient and for all the unconditional love and support you've given me.
I wanted to slightly explain my motivation/inspiration behind this story, and also the reason it took me so long to finish.
I've always loved reading and writing, since I was a toddler even. I have always accelerated in the English field, (two years ahead in the subject every year) and when I was in middle school my best friend and I would write fanfiction about "you now" influencers or about us and the big friendgroup of guys we would hang out with every day. This is the first fanfiction I have completed and wrote about actual characters.
I based Lucy and Natsus relationship off of one of my very own relationships with my guy best friend of 10 years.
He even would read this fanfiction and give me feedback. I ended up developing romantic feelings for said boy, and told him how I felt. This is the same time there was a pause in my writing. We started dating and I was out a lot having fun and focusing on him, work, and school. Not having much time or motivation to write.
Not getting into it much more, but, him and I had some issues that ended both of romantic and platonic relationship of 10 years plus the few months we had been together romantically.
This made it hard to pick up my phone/computer and start writing again because a lot of Natsu and Lucy's personalities, nicknames, etc were silt based on said boy.
Im so sorry for this long wait, I'm healed now and I knew I had to finish this story because not only does it hold a special place in my hearts, I know it does for many of you reading it as well. Not all things last, even friendships that started practically from birth, but there is always history behind us, all of us have history with someone, and that's ultimately what fills our life with meaning. We hold onto, learn from, and heal from our histories or encounters with people. With that being said, I hope you all enjoyed, and thank you again for following me along on this journey.
