O wow
Really nice ending! <3

I always liked the AU version of DH in my mind where Penny is indeed still alive and runs and goes to NY where a few years later billy finds her under her new identity while he's Barney stinson and totally awesome

[darkly_ironic]

Thank you! I'm really glad you liked it! : )

That sounds like a fun AU! Of course, anything with Barney would be fun. I want to read that now! : )

I want to read this alt-uni too.

I'm convinced that Hourglass was still lying to Penny for her own timey-wimey ends, and Penny's going to figure that out after a while, and go save Billy from himself. : D

Thank you for reading! : )

And thus ended a great fanfic.

Great ending! I was really scared that you were going to just have Penny do exactly what she did in the movie, but I was pleasantly surprised when I saw something different.

It's been a pleasure reading this great piece of fiction!

[darkly_ironic]

Thank you!

The ending actually went through a lot of revisions--originally it was closer to the movie ending, but ended much happier then the final ending. Then I realized I'd have to change the name, so... ; )

I'm so happy you enjoyed it!

Haha! Nice use of Fake Sarah-Michelle-Geller there! Great nod to the fans.

And yes, I agree with the others. I want to believe that Penny somehow did change things. And made everything better somehow!

Bah to Hourglass. What does she know?

[darkly_ironic]

I was worried that might be a little too esoteric/just plain weird, so I'm really glad it worked! : D

I'm sure Penny did change things; at least that's what I keep telling myself! She and Billy deserve a happiness in at least one universe. : )

Thank you for commenting!

I feel like this comment is going to be a lot less exciting than the previous... fourteen I've left.

But it was wonderful and amazing and I enjoyed every bit of it and I just want to devour the voices you give the characters because you've got them down pretty freaking good.

And poor Penny. Dying. And knowing she's dead. Although being a 'pirated' version of herself made me laugh more than it should have :P

Anyhow, this was amazing and I thank you for this... three and a half hours it's taken me to read (more or less I think...) and I've enjoyed every squeee-ing second of it. <3

Thanks, and kudos!

[darkly_ironic]

Aww, thank you! I'm really glad you enjoyed it so much. : D And thank you for all those comments! : )
