❝ it was the best of times, the worst of crimes. ❞
╰⪼ firstly,
I have so much to get off my chest, but I just need to say thank you.
I can't believe I'll get to mark my first complete story here, and I'm even more dazzled by the fact that it will be for Celeste and Sirius. I love them more than words can express.
Many things in this story were not always planned ahead, but the conclusion has never changed since the start. If you're an Evan lover, I sincerely apologize ⎯ but I promise my next big fic will do him justice!!
Celeste will most likely not have a sequel, but who knows? I have so many things lined up already, starting with finishing Blank Space and then the rest of that series! I don't want to give away the rest of them, as they're not completely finalized yet. These will be very short stories, no more than 20 chapters each (I hope), because I will be using all my extra time in writing the next big fic.
Celeste will always be my original and favorite girl. I will continue to hold her close to my heart.
╰⪼ secondly,
That ending might've been a bit strange, and some of you may not agree with it. However, I wholeheartedly think that Celeste is exactly where she should be. And with a life as terrible as hers, it couldn't have ended differently.
Her descent and spiral into madness was like nightfall.
Some of you might be wondering: What now now? What happens to Celeste?
I'd like to think that she's simply disappeared. She living a quiet life, far away and perhaps does not return to society until the second war. If you have any ideas/scenarios, please write and send them to me!! I'd love to read them.
And there is one more sad detail I want to point out. Celeste has always been the outside in everything. Her relationship with the marauders and the girls was never that great. This might seem like a plot hole, but it has always been intentional.
Celeste didn't know that Remus was a werewolf. And therefore, she had no idea about the animagus business. They never even tried to bring it up.
╰⪼ and lastly,
Thank you to every single person who ever read, voted, or commented!! I love you all so much.
All the encouragement and reactions gave me so much motivation and have dragged me out of writer's block so many times. I never expected such a large viewing by the end. I'm truly in tears right now.
I created Getaway Car during an afternoon in summer school while I was supposed to be doing my math homework. I wasn't allowed my phone or laptop there, so I hand-wrote the original version of the first chapter. I'll admit that this story is honestly not super amazing or anything, but for my first try, I think I did alright.
I'm also writing this two days before my birthday, so I guess the universe is telling me something.
I can't believe a little idea has turned into this.
any last thoughts & comments?
all my love and thanks,
aria.
