Flight of the Heron read-along: Part V chapter 5 and Epilogue

[regshoe]

Better loved ye cannae be...

The final chapter.

I'm planning to do a sort of wrap-up post in a couple of days' time for any last thoughts, and to recommend some Flight of the Heron fic and some other books that may be of interest. I will say goodbye and thank you properly then!

Or a career-saving lie from the officer-in-charge of the guard, who didn't want to be on the hook for losing a prisoner, perhaps.

Well, if the news of finding Ewen's alleged body never caught up to him, that's a simple enough solution. (And requires a fic of him hearing of Ewen's death while he patrols the coast!)

Ooh, I'd like to read that fic! I wonder if believing Ewen was dead would change his reaction to seeing him?

Oh God, if Keith heard that Ewen was dead and then saw him alive on the beach! That might be the only way to make the ending even more heart-wrenching than it is already...
