Woah! I don't know what to say. Even though the ending is up in air, I does seem perfect. It reminds me rather of the Harry Potter epilogue (and I mean that as a great compliment), the way that every one turns out ok and the next generation are growing up. Thank goodness Lucas ended up ok in the end - hopefully? Your writing has improved heaps throughout this fic. The way you describe both the person and the scene is a lot better. The way you have written the Lucas/Mattie relationship was very believable. I hope you keep writing and I get to read more of your fics.
