After Us

Chapter 16: epilogue: homeward [graphic novel]

Notes:

I created this Gpose Comic / Graphic Novel over the course of writing the story, since I had this specific image in my mind what happens to Rhona after the fight against the Endsinger and Zenos. It was a while ago, but i still remember what a pain some of these poses were and how many hours i put into polishing the images. I hope this epilogue is a fitting end to their story! Enjoy the feels~

(See the end of the chapter for more notes.)

Chapter Text

The hallowed lands so far behind
As fleeting dreams still linger
Like distant voices through the rain
Like grains of sand cast from my hands

I never thought I'd go this far
Without a star to cross the seas
So far from shores I'd left behind
Still far from shores I've yet to reach

(Homeward, VNV Nation)

---- THE END ----

Notes:

I always feel both sad and happy when I mark a story as completed, and once again, I'm sorry I took so long to finish this one. Thank you all for sticking with Aymeric and Rhona to the end - through all their awkward moments, their rollercoaster of feelings, their hopes and fears, and of course their happy ending at last!!
I especially have to thank my friend, beta-reader and font of encouragement Ellipsey - without you, writing and finishing this story wouldn't have been possible. <3 <3 <3

Notes:

HUUUUGE thanks to Ellipsey for proof-reading and giving me suggestions for flow and consistency <333 Also for helping me with the outline on the whole thing. I can't thank you enough!!
