Happily Ever After
Here it is! The thing you can expect from every single one of my stories!
Okay, there are a few things you can always expect. Like drinking tea and some sort of walk through some sort of forest at some point. But as for major plot points, a HEA completes the list. It might not always be fully fleshed out and colorful, you likely won’t get an epilogue depicting the happy family five years in the future, but you will get the illusion at the very least.
I definitely write what I like to read. Give me a few words, a last sentence, that hints toward “these characters are going to be just fine”, and I will be more than satisfied. I’ll read the suffering first. I’ll read right through that necessary side character death (unhappily, but I’ll do it for the plot), but if I’m following a main character through a book or two or three you best let them live forever by the end. With their best friend, found family or partner by their side, too.
There have been books in the past that have really swayed me this direction (freaking Allegiant), and my mind is pretty well made up now. I think it’s because I view reading and writing as such an escape from reality. Hence my love of fantasy! I’m good to stay in our world so long as it doesn’t really resemble my world. Or take me somewhere totally different—honestly, that’s even better!
All in all, I do want to cry at the end of a good book. But make it happy tears <3
