aaand that's a wrap for ikykwk, folks! this was supposed to be a damn one shot JKHSDFJK how it turned into this 90k+ monster i will never know.
ok, first of all, i'm steadily making my through a second soju bottle as i'm typing this so i WILL ramble and be sappy and cheesy and probably cringy on here, please feel free to skip this emotional mess.
i have so much to say, i don't even know where to start. but ok, i'll go with perhaps the most important thing i wanna say right now: thank you. i started this fic a year ago because i needed hope that all this love has to be for something, anything. ikykwk has guided me through shitstorms and pulled me out of hellholes and given me a place where i don't have to be afraid to hope or love. and for each one of you who gave it, me, a chance and stuck with it and me through to this end, i have nothing but gratitude for you. it felt like i didn't go through this year alone, and that, to me, is more than anything i could have ever asked for. you gave me my hope back every single time i lost it, gave me love when i felt like i'd never find it, gave me inspiration when i didn't think i could create anything ever again. i don't know how to express the gratitude i feel, it's overwhelming and i'm slightly buzzed, but all i can say is thank you. so much. and for so much.
i'm sappy i'm aware HAHAHA NO cos this fic means so much to me i've literally cried at least four times today since i finished writing this epilogue THIS MORNING. pls forgive HAHAHA. i feel like i should stop here if only because i'm gonna end up writing an entire chapter's worth of an author's note. so! i hope the ending was as satisfying to you as it was to me, and i hope this fic gave you all the things it gave me. i hope to see you all in the 245897 wips i have! HAHAHA and oh yeah! title's from If the World Was Ending by JP Saxe and Julia Michaels :>
