To my dear readers,

Welcome to the end of Fallen! / pops confetti / Be proud of yourself, because you have officially read 53k+ words (Yes, I am shocked too, I did not expect this story to have gotten so long – the longest I have ever written in my entire writing stint) There are many things to be thankful for so let me slowly get through them.

Firstly and most importantly, thank you for your patience with me for (almost) the past 1 year. I started this story last July and I know that updates have not been consistent but thank you for understanding and never once pressuring me to update. Please know that I am really (x1000) thankful for your patience with me – it is one of the greatest gifts you can give an author who’s doing this as a way to stress relief. Thank you for never making writing a pressure or chore for me.

Secondly, thank you for being my motivation to finish this story. Some of you might not know, some of you might if you’ve been here around longer but… at some point in time, I lost my interest in writing this story because I was not proud of my characters or the plot. It did not feel fresh and exciting to me anymore, and I was not sure if I would ever come back to finish it. But the moment I saw the comments and love that you had for this story, I just knew that I had to finish this story. Many of you have shown the chara
