Author's note: Unlike so many talented people here, I don't do beautiful banners or photo manips or lovely graphics. In fact, I'm a major cyber idiot. I only have one means for expressing my delight in this much-loved fandom and these exquisite characters. I write. That's it. That's all I do, but I hope that I can do it well enough to spark your interest and make you forget the boring physical presentation.

Just a friendly reminder. I couldn't write Disney fairy tale/froth if my life depended on it, so prepare for true darkness.

And here we are - at very long last - at the end of the story. I hope it has provided my faithful readers with food for thought, visceral excitement, and, most of all, justification for their love of Brian and Justin and all that they personify. One day, I may return to this genre, and take up the story where it leaves off. Maybe. But, until then, I hope it has provided satisfaction in the way it has ended.
BTW, if anyone is interested in taking a look at the cast as it exists in my mind, here is the link to match faces to names. https://www.pinterest.com/bonniej44/the-cast-of-timeless-a-qaf-fiction/
Deepest thanks for those stubborn enough and determined enough to have followed it all the way to the final page.
