Aaaahhh what a whirlwind! Thank you so much for reading I'LL BE HERE ALL LIFE! It is complete in time for the final ONC round at 20,711 words. I didn't think I'd finish it before then, but here we are!
Writing about Vick, Abby, and everyone else was a big stress reliever these past few months. I enjoyed letting them take the reigns, and take the reigns they did because this story is not exactly what I thought it would be. However, I'm happier it turned out this way: it feels authentic, even if a bit cheesy. I don't normally write happy endings (bittersweet endings are my thing), but I can tell Vick wanted an ending full of queer joy, and that is what they deserve!
Writing Vick helped me come to terms with my own nonbinary self, something I am still working on personally. Writing a character who is so unabashedly themselves, encountering other characters who are unabashedly themselves, helped me see a world full of more queer love and joy. I needed this just as much as the characters needed it.
Of course, I do wish I could have fleshed certain parts of the story out more. That may come in the future, if it ever does. But until then, really, thank you for reading.
