@ _TomMarvoloRiddle_ You know, can't remember where I read that, (think it was Marvel?) but someone once had that exact same regret. They started a second fic, adding the disclaimer that the previous fic had to be read to be understood, and then they picked up with one of last few chapters, like, second to last chapter or so before the epilogue, and then expanded on it. (Never read it. Pretty sure I got into another fandom and then forgot that I had wanted to look into it.) But I did remember thinking that it was a good way to retcon your own work, if you were not satisfied with it. Maybe you would like to do something similar? Or maybe just rewrite it in a new work and change the ending. If it's been 10 years (which, congrats! ) then I am sure you must have come far from where you were when you began writing Motivation.
Now excuse me, I will return to my cave.
Again, congratulations!
