So here is the final chapter. I really didn't set out to write a ridiculous, suspend your disbelief rom-com (and if you were hoping this would be anything like my last long XMFC fic, I feel I owe you several apologies). Not that I didn't have a shitload of fun writing this (and that's pretty much what writing fic is all about, so...) but yes, I have no idea where this came from.
That being said, yes, there is a sequel planned, though it won't be quite as ludicrous plot-wise. Actually, scratch that, it will probably be just as ludicrous.
I owe several thanks at this point. First, to the OP (who I believe I scared off some time ago--sorry about that) for the awesome prompt that I rather stopped following after a while (possibly why I scared OP off, actually). To
afrocurl for all her beautiful poetry. I'm still amazed by how well you captured Erik, and how seamlessly your work fit throughout the fic. This was very much a collaborative effort. Another thanks to
stlkrchck for all the New York background info, and for acting as my on demand 411 service. To
eira_cannaid for the beautiful
cover art she made me.
And thanks to everyone following and commenting, because following a WIP can be hard, and this type of fic certainly isn't for everyone, but authors do appreciate it when people take the time to comment, if only so that they don't feel like they're shouting into the void. It's also given me the chance to have some really engaging discussions, which have been thoroughly enjoyable.
I will post a link to the AO3 version when it is up.
