To Protect and Serve

Chapter 20: Finale

Chapter Text

Hi guys.
This isn't the author, but her daughter instead. Unfortunately, my mum passed away this morning so there will be no more updates to this fic, or any other ones.

My mum loved Ao3 so much. She loved writing and sharing her stories with other people, reading other people's works, and she loved the community formed here. She was so passionate about what she was writing, and it's very sad that lots of these works will never reach completion. She had so many ideas, and I've found countless notebooks of hers with ideas written up. I said there would be no more updates, but if it's possible I will try to write up the chapters that she had handwritten because I think they deserve to at least be shared, but I wouldn't count on this and there is still a strong likelihood that this won't happen as there might not be enough written.

Seeing all the comments in her inbox on fics really showed how supportive people on here were, and I saw so many names pop up again and again on different works, and I want to say thank you to all of you. I don't know any of you, but I know that your support meant so much to her, and she never kept her appreciation quiet. She loved all of you on this site and I'm so so grateful for the happiness that users on here brought her.

I'm so sorry that this is such an abrupt end to this story, and this account. I'm sorry that I have to be making this final post, but I thought the people she befriended on this website deserved to know.

Again, thank you all so much and I wish all of you the best.
