Well, in celebration of a milestone birthday for me, here is the final chapter of this novel length story that I started so many years ago. It's been a long road, with lots of ups and downs. I have bittersweet feelings about finishing the story - a mixture of regret, sadness and relief, joy. I hope that all of you who have read through the years, and stuck with the story, will find emotional closure with this final chapter as I did.

Please permit me a moment to list some statistics.

STATISTICS

Conceived: May/June, 2003
Started: December 9, 2003
First chapter public posting: July 31, 2004
Number of words: 120635
Number of pages: 216 single spaced

So, with this final posting, I bid this story a fond, fond farewell and put that particular
muse to a well deserved rest.

My apologies that it has taken so long for this chapter to come about. Real life has been hectic. And, I’ve had a hard time wanting to sit down to write. I had actually considered adding more to this chapter, but figured that the point it stops is fairly decent, perhaps slightly cliff-hangerish (though not much). There is only one chapter left to this story (the climax) – unless it tends to be too long and has to be split. I’ve already planned the scenes in my mind how to end the fic, it’s just a matter of getting it written.

Here's the next chapter of Origins. I hope you enjoy.

Notes #2: The lyrics used in this chapter belong to the song ‘Trouble’ by Coldplay. The words on the marker are by Sablerose, who graciously allowed me the use of part of her poem.

Words between / / are thoughts, mind speak
Words between ~ ~ are lyrics to any songs I might use
Words between * * are flashbacks, but they are noted that way

Notes #2: I'm pretty sure I've mentioned this before perhaps in another of my fics, but the idea of Remy being allergic to aspirin such that it acts like a tranquilizer is not mine. I've read it in several X-men fics in the past, so I'm unsure who invented the idea. I'm also unsure if it's cannon or fannon (though I tend to think it's fannon). If anyone knows the original author who penned the idea first, please let me know so I might credit that person. Also, the views/opinions expressed by Remy regarding shelters strictly belong to the character within the realms of this story, and do not necessarily reflect on community centers/shelters in real life. Thanks goes to BJ for reading over this chapter for me to let me know if it felt right within the confines of the story.

Apologies for the long delay between the last chapter and this one. The muse is on vacation, RL has become overwhelming, and my interest in writing is beginning to wane. Here be what I hope passes as some decent action. Enjoy!
