So guys, I'm so talkative, and I knew the last chapter was going to get so big that I had to use an extra chapter just to talk about it, so here we go.

-I always understood fanfic as a way to correct certain things we would like to change in fandoms, so that was why I made those changes.

-I think it's sad that Freddie died prematurely, and I think he'd still be doing a lot of good music alongside Brian, John and Roger, so I didn't have the guts to write him dying in this story. I wondered what it would be like if he survived, how it would change things mainly in relation to Queen (it is worth mentioning that I respect Paul Rodgers and Adam Lambert very much and their contributions to the band).

-Another thing that pisses me off, is that Brian and Chrissie split up because of his cheating. (I'm not going to go into too much detail because that thing really makes feel so bad.) But I also want to make it clear that I have nothing to do with this story, Brian is a guy I admire a lot and I don't think I have the right to judge him, what matters is that the two of them are well today, as I believe they are. I also have nothing against Anita Dobson. Now in Through Chrissie's Eyes, I've always relied on the boys' version of the movie, and folks, frankly, I don't think Brian from the movie would cheat on his wife, and besides, I ended up creating such a well-built and developed relationship, solid and structured with Chrissie and Brian on the fic that for me it didn't make sense they split up, that was the mainly reason I mentioned so much this story is an alternative universe.

- More real life facts that I changed, in this universe Rufus, Tigerlily and Lola Taylor are children of Dominique, yes, I also didn't have the courage to separate her and Roger (don't curse me, don't kill me).

In this universe Isaac (full name Isaac Roger Taylor-May, I'll write a story later about the fights because of this middle name hahahaha) is the son of Jimmy and Rory, who got married. And yes, he's an OC, no, he doesn't exist in real life.

Well, I guess justification is just that. Let's go to the thanks.

"I thank God first for helping me with the perplexes of life while I was writing this story.

-Thanks to Freddie, Roger, John and Brian, who once joined together for love of music, in pursuit of their dreams, and formed one of the greatest bands in history, thank you for sharing a little of your talent and your lives with us.

-Thanks to Roger and Brian for having insisted so much on making the film, and for all the team involved, if it weren't for them, I wouldn't be the hardcore fan I am today.

-Thanks to Rami, Ben, Joe, and Gwilym for their effort, love and respect in playing Queen's boys.

-Thank you to Gwilym Lee again because he made me fall in love with his version of Brian May (one of the main things that motivated this fic, I confess)

-Thanks to Chrissie Mullen, for always supporting Smile and later Queen, even though I don't know much about her, I'm sure she's an incredible woman.

The song that Brian composed for Chrissie, "Stars Tonight", is another song I did, back in January, already beginning to imagine this epilogue. Within the fic universe, it was released on the 1986 A Kind of Magic album. You can hear it here.

Before I go, let me share with you the next ideas for TCE universe:

Brian's point of view from when he met Chrissie until they had their children 

Teenage Jimmy learning to deal with his father's fame

How the May family loves and is very fond of Doctor Who

Brian shows the song "She Makes Me" to Chrissie (this song he did for her in real life, as I discovered too late)

Emily's birth, her relationship with her parents and siblings

The story of Roger and Dominique's love (with the details I couldn't put into TCE)

The love story of Jimmy and Rory

Brian making many posts on Insta about Chrissie

John and Brian competing for who eats more biscuits (suggestion of my best friend)

Chrissie discovering Maylor and other ships (just thinking of it makes me want to laugh)

Brian in punishment without internet (by the way, this is much more dramatic than you imagine)

Brian receiving his doctorate

The Queen at the Oscars

Royal Orchestra tribute to Queen

And if you guys have any requests, I'll be more than glad to write it. I never imagined that this fic would take such great proportions, I began to write it so unpretentiously, and I am proud of the journey we have made so far.

Now, I stopped talking, wait just one more thing.

THANK YOU VERY VERY VERY MUCH TO EVERYONE WHO HAS READ AND ACCOMPANIED THIS STORY, YOU MADE ME VERY VERY VERY HAPPY.

Take care, God bless you, see you next time!

Andressa.
