And that 100% ends this ficlet serial. I really couldn’t leave it as open ended as it was.

So, no direct sequels, folks. But that doesn’t mean Blake and Simon won’t team up again… :)

As much as I loved Howie’s ending to the story (and I did love Howie’s ending, with the way it exploited every plot hole and dangling thread to come to a logical conclusion), I find this one more satisfying.

Thanks, Tarzan. I also really liked Howie’s ending, but it was a cliff-hanger. I think — for those who have been patient enough to read this whole damn thing — they deserved something much more final (and thus, I hope, satisfying). Glad you approve.

Oh, and I did get Howie’s permission before I wrote more on top of his ending. I wouldn’t have felt right with doing it otherwise.

I agree with Tarzan, Howie’s ending was good, but this one just gives it that sense of closure, letting the story almost come full circle. Great job on both your parts.

Howie’s ending was very good, but yours seems realistic, and I suppose that familiarity makes it feel more complete.

I really like how he calls forth all the 4 horsemen and the descriptions of how they were realised

sigh the final end to a very wonderful series…one that I assume will be very hard to forget in the ficlets world

and i dont doubt that Blake and Simon will reappear….it would just seem right

well done Nick, CMTKOM and Howie
this was wonderful :)

Well… Let’s see if Blake and Simon can get another chain going:

I just read this whole thing in nearly one sitting, and I must say that I do agree that this ending is more satisfying.
I would probably hate the world if it were suddenly paradise, because that’s just the kind of girl I am.
