On Knots and Unravelling - Chapter Fourteen

The final part.

To everyone who is still following and reading, thank you. (I bought a house as I was posting this, which I hope goes someway to explaining the delays.)

Thank you again to Em, Si, and Jerome, for being the best encouragement troops a girl could ask for. I finished it because of you.

This'll be the last significant contribution I'll ( Read more... )

You know, the introduction to this made me sad... no, not sad. Like... it's like that feeling I get whenever I see the end credits of S3. Like happy that something so wonderful exists yet devastated that it's over at the same time ( ... )

Oh Flis, you emo babe, you.

You've made me go a little bit wobbly and emotional, so I'll just say it has been an honour to be included in the epic g2 fandom, and we (collectively) did some fucking good work with those kids. They have a special place in my heart.

And thank you, for all the comments. I feel a bit like I missed the boat with this one, fandom-wise (shrugs), but your thoughts have never failed to make me feel like I wrote something decent for once, rather than just pratting around. You're ace, is what i'm saying. When you are out of your emo cave we should chat more about our mutual appreciation for each other :)

Love and cakes,

C x

*clings* Seriously, iTunes is well on it today - it's even playing the most ballady Slipknot song I have. Because I am fifteen years old, apparently... ;)

Nah, do you know what? You didn't miss owt. I think it came at just the right time. I still rummage around looking for fic and this one was just such a breath of fresh air. Plus, I remember saying that I was reading it in the middle of packing up my old flat so it was great to have there in the middle of that mentalness.

You're ace too - yes, let's start up our own community for people who appreciate the greatness of us. I'd join it!

Really looking forward to your Little Bang offering as well - I have three half finished ones so far so I'm doing really well :s How's your going? You've probably finished it and cracked open a well earned beer, right? ;) Well I'm having the beer anyway...

Slipknot. Oh lord. *shakes head, feels old*

The Little Bang is half way done. Mini's voice took me a while to get the hang of, but I think I'm sorted with that now. I just need to figure out exactly what is happening next, and fast, because the deadline is bound to creep up on me!

Hope you enjoyed your beer :)

Congratulations on the house! I shall try not to focus too much on the 'last Gen 2 fic' bit :P

This was really lovely. Everyone is a twat and that makes them friends is the perfect ending, really. Definitely worth the wait :)

Thank you! The house situation is very exciting and distracting :)

That is an appropriate moral of the story, really. Everyone is a twat now and then. Embrace it!

Thanks for reading bb. ♥

I think - I hope! - I made it clear when I first read this how much I loved it, and your writing in general. It's a thing of apparently effortless, sparkling wit and beauty. You should be so proud, really, and I know I'm proud of the tiny part I played in helping you with this. It was never anything less than a joy and I'd do it all again in a heartbeat.

LOL I just had to stop and get a tissue cos I was getting all teary. Apparently Flis isn't alone in feeling a little emo :) . It does kind of feel like the end of an era, doesn't it? But such a fabulous end!

♥♥♥

(ETA Congratulations on becoming a homeowner! It's occasionally rather stressful but also nice, so :))

Oh, shush, you make me blush. One of the best things about writing this story has been getting to know you better, and reading the little comments you put in the beta copies. You did far more than insert and remove commas for me, and I'm incredibly grateful for it.

(OMG I know. I was painting ceilings till ten last night. TEN!)

This was rather fucking wonderful. But you know that, right?

In other relevant news, this wasn't a chore to do at all, I thoroughly enjoyed getting the odd chapter in my inbox at regular intervals, so rather than you thanking me, I should be thanking you for writing it! I agree with the others, that this does rather feel like something close to the end of G2 fandom, so I guess I should be adding my congratulations on completing something special.

I think you may have mentioned it before, but thank you! ♥

You were an amazing cheerer dude, I loved our random chats about stuff whilst the chapters where pinging back and forth. Thanks for putting up with my random bursts of productivity and massive lulls inbetween. Also, without this story, I would not have knowledge of CHOCOLATE ORBS, and EQUINE SPECIALISM, so that in itself has made it worthwhile.

awwwwwwww that is a lovely finale!! "It's perfect" actually.
And I can't believe it's already over.... it's been a wonderful journey!
You're a great writer and this fiction was amazing with the right sense of humour balanced with amazing drama plot! Really genius!

Thank you so much for writing this, I enjoyed it A LOT :)

I enjoyed hearing your thoughts on it A LOT, so thank you! Also, thank you for staying with it even when I fell of the planet and stopped posting for weeks at a time. :)
