Great chapter, filled with action
loved seeing Regina and Emma together at last, and the bad guys defeated

Finally catching up on reviews, gah! Thank you so so much - I think that was the most fun (and most challenging) chapter to write out of the whole bunch! I loved banding everyone together to take down the two biggest threats.

I hope you enjoyed the final chapter as well. :)

Good grief! I was saving your chapter on my Kindle for three days just waiting until the moment when I really needed it since I knew how good it was going to be. And then I read it yesterday and have been all set to give you a suitably-incoherent review, and I find TWO new chapters up!!!!!!!!!!!! YAY!!!

Said two new chapters are going on my Kindle right now. As for this one ... really I wasn't sure I could figure out how to type right after finishing (you do tend to have that effect on me). My favorite moment of all was the one where Emma pulled Regina out of the ice coffin, and they just stood there together for a bit, breathing, where all was right with the world again because they were together. I was also a silly happy fangirl at the moment when Emma was putting Regina's heart back, and the moment where Emma doesn't have to kill Rumplestiltskin after all. I mean, I loved the whole chapter, but I thought those were the highlights.

Hehehe! Thank you so much! I know it took ages for me to finish this particular chapter (so long that it garnered some threats from some of my Russian readers on ff.net), but I wanted to make sure I had done a good job, and that I did the entire story justice. Which, after weeks of writing, erasing, editing and rewriting, I feel that I had done in the end. I loved writing this culmination of everything that I had been building up to for the first 26 chapters - not only in terms of Emma/Regina, but everything else. The tenuous alliance between Regina and "the two idiots" ( haha - hands down my fave Regina quote of this season!), the threat of Rumplestiltskin, and much more.

I am so blessed to have such wonderful readers, who have stuck with this story until the bitter end.

I really hope you enjoy the final chapter. :)

Hey, there! It's only been a few days since I promised you a review for the last two chapters, right ( ... )

I think it's actually MY turn to hide in a paper bag. I meant to reply to this right away, and so naturally.... HA! I forget. Laaaaame.

Anyway - YES. I am still super interested in hearing your thoughts! You can e-mail me at mariska626@yahoo.com. :)
