Oh, what an ending! This has been an excellent story. I hope there's more, somewhere down the line - what happens next, does Akashi "wake up" from Providence's hypnotism, does Auntie Gee get them back together, what happens to Paradia in the end? So many things I look forward to reading about some day 🤩

And believe me when I say there are so many things that I cannot wait to share with you! Many of those questions will be answered... in due time, of course!

Fantastic finale L.L. I especially like the scene in the realm of the ancients. It felt perfectly otherworldly. And the ending was good and tense. I caught myself grasping at straws, trying to figure out a way Celie would come out on top over Monroe. I guess that's a sign it wrapped me up well.

Cant wait for the retrospective to hear what's coming next - the overall ark of Akashi/Celie across the stories has been well done.

I'm so glad you enjoyed, thank you, Sam!

I think part of what made Celie looking for an out come out so well is that even though I knew what had to happen, I was trying to find her a way out and I tried to rationalize multiple times how she could come out on top even though... well let's just say that wouldn't make sense in the story.

Regardless, I can't wait to share what's next!
