Chapter Text
Don't worry, this is not the end.
However, the story will be continued in a separate work - Maleficar's Focus. I know there is many unresolved subplots here and this will be addressed in Maleficar's Focus.
Why am cutting the story this way?
It took me lots of thinking. When I started this story, back in 2013 (yes, I was writing it two years before it was first published) this story was much different than it is now. It was supposed to be more canon compliant - mostly an exercise for me and a challenge to finish the damn thing. Here I am, five years later, still struggling with the same story.
But most importantly, at the beginning it was supposed to be a story about monogamist queer couple. Over the years the characters developed and then Spawn appeared... And I knew that this was no longer a story about two people. I found it a bit unfair to the people who for some reason don't want to read about poly relationship - so I decided to make a clean cut. This is a poly story now and if you're not comfortable with that, I am very sorry, but I won't try to trick you into reading something you don't want to read. If you don't care or are happy with this development? The next part awaits.
I hope you will understand where I am coming from.
