First chapter & notes here (on LJ), for DW just follow the tags, and Master post of whole 'verse here (also tagged on DW).
Can also be found on AO3.
I can't believe this is the end! IT IS FINISHED! According to AO3 it comes to 123,280 words.
Note: It seems impossible that I am actually posting this epilogue. It’s taken nearly twelve years from my first drafts and until today. Back when I first mulled over the plot for this story neither AO3 nor Dreamwidth existed (nor Tumblr for that matter), just to put it all into perspective. But unlike most of my fics I always knew the arc of this, and, although there were a few twists that took me by surprise, this epilogue hasn’t changed much from my original notes.
Although I feel I should add that this isn’t quite the final part. I have a (fairly short, about 6 chapters) sequel to this, set 20+ years into the future, called ‘The End of the Reprieve’, which I will probably write up at some point. However I like leaving the story here, so we’ll see. <3
But mostly, I just wanted to thank you all for reading. When I finally started posting I was worried that the Buffy & Angel fandoms had mostly dispersed, and I was 10 years too late. So I am grateful for each and everyone of you.
Hope you like the ending — I know it's short compared to my usual chapters, but this just seemed right.
Disclaimer: I own nothing.
Rating: Teen. (Same warnings as the show basically.)
Characters: Spike, Angel, Illyria, Buffy, Scoobies + cameos from more or less everyone in the 'verse.
Main Ships: Spike/Buffy, Angel/Nina
Feedback: Is bloody ambrosia! (The secret ingredient is otter...)
Word count (this chapter): 876 words
Setting and Summary: As before. (Post-NFA epic quest thing.)
Beta: The ever wonderful![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
