Falling Slowly - An Alternative Outcome (an Adoption AU story)

Co-written by me and Marehami.

Ford is given a new chance to save Mabel and set things right after her untimely demise caused by his mistakes. An alternative outcome to marehami's story Falling Slowly on fanfiction.net , created by me in collaboration with her. While not mandatory, it would help to read the original story till the end to understand what happens here. A huge thank you to marehami for being the beta reader.

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED THAT YOU READ THE FIRST STORY ON HER ACCOUNT FIRST: https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12973935/1/Falling-Slowly

Back in late June 2018, the creator and author of the Adoption AU, the amazing marehami asked me about being a beta reader for her most recent story in the AU, Falling Slowly. In that story Mabel must fight for her life after she is diagnosed with a serious illness. She fights against the illness with all the optimism that she has, but sometimes hugs and comfy sweaters just aren't enough. And sadly, the story ended in tragedy as she dies in the 10th chapter.

This story is an alternative outcome to Falling Slowly. It is set one week after Mabel's funeral (just after chapter 22). I have done my best to capture the essence and writing style that marehami and Keleficent have created.

A huge thank you to marehami herself for being the beta reader. I really hope you like what I have written and I hope that for those of you who were saddened at Mabel's death in chapter 10 of the main story, this will serve as some closure for you.
