And indeed there will be time (7/7) - Epilogue

[nemo_neminem]

Well, that's it then. Actually, I'm glad I wrote this epilogue - it enabled me to justify the title and indulge into shameless T.S. Eliot-quoting. Hopefully I managed to find a point of balance between angst and, um, other things. This is a bit longer than I'd initially planned, BTW. And you know - typos, blah blah blah, don't hesitate to point

Poetry was all very well, but did not excuse one from packing one's luggage.

Awwww, this part really got me.

A very sweet farewell. Enough angst to know that they mean it, but also some satisfaction.

:D *hugs*

Hehe, gotta love it when you get all romantic and spiritual and then real life comes back at you with a vengeance!

I'm awfully pleased that you think it feels right. Thanks again for all the encouragements, you're a wonderful reader ;)

:0D *hugs back*

Yes, exactly! It's all fun and games until someone does something stupid. ;0)

You're welcome! Awww, thanks, and you are a wonderful writer! ;0)

Yay! It is finished and I beautiful finish it is :D I thought it was adorable in a manly way and what better way to say I love you then through prose :D Well done and thanks for the Poirot fiction distraction :D

[nemo_neminem]

Thank you for your kind words! :D "Adorable in a manly way"? I wouldn't necessarily have put it that way, but now I feel my ultimate purpose has been fulfilled XDDDD You're welcome, pleasure's all mine.

Heh, I'm grinning like an idiot right now... *blushes*

I'm so thrilled you enjoyed this epilogue - it definitely didn't feel right stopping at the end of the previous chappie. I don't know, I got all inspired all of a sudden XD It was far too angsty until I was reminded of a particular incident got the idea of the forgotten slippers and the restaurant; then the humour made sense and I felt I could get away with it.

I'm so pleased that you thought it worked, though *smug smile* Awwwww, than you so much :DD

How dare you calling my story sad when you write things like this! *hides face in pillow*

No, but it is very beautiful. You made that farewell scene very touching without the two of them getting out of character. I think. I don't know them, really. Which makes my compliment kind of... ehem. What was I gonna say? Oh yeah. I love it! :)

[nemo_neminem]

How shall I put it...?

AT LEAST I DIDN'T KILL ANYONE, YOU MURDEROUS BLOODTHIRSTY HUN!!! *hits you with pillow*

Also it's canon that Hastings is married and has kids, whereas you pulled up a wife and a rather unsympathetic son from nowhere just to torture us. There! And I mean it to sting.

XD But yes, glad you enjoyed the story. And that you didn't get the impression that the characters were too out of... you know.

[soul_bonnie]

You mean Frenchie! You French meanie! I didn't murder him! He was already dead when I got there and the only reason my fingerprints are on the gun is that I was scared the assailant was still in the apartment and I wanted to defend myself!! *snatches pillow and uses it to blow her nose*

Ooooh, monsieur wants a backstory, eh? WELL YOU CAN HAVE A BLOODY BACKSTORY, MISTER!!!! *hurls pillow at your head*

^__________^ *tee hee*
Apart from that, yes, lovely story, absolutely. More tea, dear?

[cicerothewriter]

I love this so much!

[supermuffy]

Ah, ha, I knew your story couldn't end without an epilogue! xD Anyway, great epilogue and I hope you'll write something new soon ;D
