A Deal Worth A Lifetime [ Alastor x Reader ]

Author's Note & Thank You

I honestly can't thank you all enough for the support on this fic. Like so much changed from when it started, I got rid of chapters completely and replaced them with something else. In the beginning, I remember wanting to write really long chapters. After chapter six I didn't really want to anymore lol, so I did shorten them a bit from when I started.

I didn't plan on this fic getting so long? As a first fic, that actually got finished, I think I did alright.

I'm so used to structuring things that I don't think I can actually write without it, I really gotta break out of that habit. I noticed that things I had fewer notes for became longer and more detailed chapters so I will be trying in future projects.

As for the flashback chapters, there are actual years that go with them when I was planning it out.

In chapter 3 and 6 are 1925

Chapter 9 and 12 are 1926

Chapter 15, 18 and 21 in 1927

Chapter 24  and 27 is way back in 1914 since they special

Chapter 30 and 33 are in 1928

Chapter 36 is in 1933, as was revealed on the gravestone

I felt like a little bit of an age gap was necessary if I'm being completely honest, not for any particular reason. Also, there was no way for me to actually give an idea for what year things were taking place in other than by items and such. Like the record in chapter 9, the song is titled 'I Can't Believe You're In Love With me' and I included the singer so that any curious souls could find out.

The thing about the chapters, in general, is that they're in the wrong order. Flashbacks always come before current events so technically it's a happy ending.

That's another thing too, in the flashbacks things start out great and wonderful but it just ends horribly for everyone. But in the main storyline, things go from worse to great.

What can I say, I'm a sucker for happy endings.

I like to try and be cryptic...but always fail immensely lol

I don't know if any of you have noticed, but there were some little things I may or may not have added :)

Such as the thing with Hell's different circles, Katie Killjoy literally mentioned the nine circles in that interview with Charlie. Of course, I had no clue wtf the circles were so I looked it up and it really helped me come up with different scenes and stuff. Especially if they're going to include the whole: Dante's Inferno nine circles thing. Since I don't expect everyone to know what that is right off the bat, here is the list:

1 - Limbo / 2 - Lust / 3 - Gluttony / 4 - Greed / 5 - Anger / 6 - Heresy / 7 - Violence / 8 - Fraud / 9 - Treachery
