And with this, we're done. Emma's epilogue, and plans in process.

Thank you, everyone, for reading and encouraging and commenting! I am rather in awe of all the love for this--and I love you all for it. *hugs everyone*

Just ... GAH. SO MUCH LOVE FOR THIS. ♥!!!

And now I'm sad that it's over. *wibbles and clings*

[luninosity]

It was an adventure, certainly! *is kind of in awe of word count*

Over...yes...except for those two other epilogues I might have in mind... *grin*

[avictoriangirl]

Oooooh. Epilogues? :D *bounces excitedly*

[luninosity]

Yep. Not at all written yet, but...the first one is the wedding day, just a quick moment as the ceremony starts: Erik's waiting at the altar after numerous reassurances that, yes, Charles will be fine walking down the aisle to him, Raven will be there, Charles wants to do this...what Erik doesn't know is that Charles has a plan, and this plan involves sending Raven out first, and then actually walking down the aisle by himself, no assistance, he's been practicing, and Erik wants to run over and help but doesn't because he's so shocked, because he's so proud, because this is Charles's moment and Charles did this for him...

...the other one is the wedding night, which is in part gratuitous porn, but also involves Erik's wedding-gift to Charles. He did promise to make Charles something, after all, to wear, in the bedroom. And the collar matches the ring, which means that even in public, if Charles glances at his hand, he'll probably blush. Erik has very good ideas. :-)

Of course they'd ask Emma. That's absolutely adorable. And I'm glad she said yes. I think it'll be a very good ceremony (whether or not she mentions how they met.) Yay for happy endings! :D

This epilogue was almost going to be the actual wedding, but I liked the bookend effect with them back in her office, with Charles asking her one more question, like (and unlike) the way it all started. Makes the happy ending that much more...poignant, perhaps? :-)

Heehee, Emma would be an awesome wedding-officiater! She would so love being in charge, and wearing white and then daring anyone to point out that it should be the 'bride' who wears white! *g*

And I loved the sly way she managed to get in her pick of the wine cellars! ;) There have to be some perks, after all!

Oh, gosh, totally. If I ever write the second epilogue, the one in which we see Charles walk(!) down the aisle to Erik, that line needs to be in there. After all, Charles isn't wearing white, so she's perfectly entitled to, right?

Someone over on AO3 observed that she'd totally pointedly pick the second most expensive bottle out of them all. Just so that they know she did it on purpose. I think they'd then give her the other one as a Christmas gift later...

God, I finally got all caught up and finished reading this - and what a conclusion it was

[luninosity]

Aww, too kind... *blushes*

This one really was, like, my porn muse and hurt/comfort muse went on a date, and then started a relationship, and then had a fic...but people seem to like it! It certainly surprised me, a few times. Oh, boys. <3
