INDEXING: REFLECTIONS is finished today!

If you've been following the serial from the start, episode #12, "Never After," is available today! If you've been waiting for the whole story to drop, then you're in luck, because the serial is complete and the full season is available for purchase now, in either e-book or physical form!

This is your talkpost and discussion zone for the full serial, including episode #12. There will be spoilers in the comments here. As always on talkposts, I have partial comment amnesty, and will not be responding to everything.

"Never After" takes us home. Thank you for making this journey with me.

Once upon a time...

I should add a couple of things that I found particularly neat:

Henry's brother and how his gender identification changed the narrative.

True love's kiss means all love, not just the traditional fairytale prince kisses sleeping girl. Henry kissed Jeff, Jeff kissed Henry, Henry kissed Sloane (and I was really hoping for that one), and all of them worked because there was true love in the kiss. That's such a wonderful spin on tradition.

I would love to find out what happens next, especially between Sloane and Henry, some day when the mood strikes .

I also LOVED those twists on the "true love's kiss"

It was one of my favorite moments of the Maleficent movie, and so when Henry climbed up on the mattresses I got really excited...

Ohh, very good point about true love, and one I shared as I read it. It reminded me of Maleficent (such an AWESOME film). A friend's love can be just as true as that of a handsome prince, and I was so thrilled when Henry realized that.

I also LOVED that the story recognized that Gerry was always male. I do hope Henry will share that with her brother, not that he needs the affirmation.
