Amare Flos. Feb 2023 - May 2026.
Writer 1's Final Message:
Wow guys, what a journey it's been.
I think if I told myself back in 2023 that it would take THREE YEARS to complete Amare Flos, he would've closed all his tabs and given up. Because to be honest, I'm not the type of person to apply myself to things long-term, this has been one of the few things that I've committed to for such a long time.
THREE YEARS?!
Someone started their bachelor degree and finished within the time it took this story to finish… I mean, I graduated high school and started uni within the time it took for this story to finish.
I honestly don't know what to say. I will be eternally grateful for all of this, all of the late nights I spent writing, all the windows I stared out of trying to find inspiration. And most of all, you guys.
Even if it was a few likes/votes/power stones, single comment on a random mid-story chapter, or consistent commenting like my dear noshameatall, justrynalive, Super_Scholar/Rad_Reader. I appreciate you all so much, and I can't even put it into words.
This story means so much to me, and to tag it as completed is like closing an era to my life. I don't think I'll truly move past it, it will always be in my mind as I write new stories. I will always compare characters to Ali, Asumi and Eira. I will always think of them when I listen to songs, picturing their epic scenes.
OH MY GOD MAN. I LOVE ALL OF THIS.
I feel like I'm repeating myself, but deep down, I know it's just because I don't want to finish this. My writing had grown so much, I'd like to say that somewhere along the way, I started to develop a distinct voice.
I'd like to thank everyone once again, noshameatall, justrynalive, Super_Scholar/Rad_Reader, AnkaNix/PhoenixMcDavid, 63anz, LeNaAdine, Hotchilisoup, Luna_coz and so many more that I couldn't find.
To everyone who's reading, I hope this stupid story that you've read has left you with one lesson. Please, reach for your dreams, you'll feel much more fulfilled no matter how it ends. It's always better to try and fail rather than never try and regret it forever.
And finally, how could I not thank the very person who's supported me from years before Amare Flos even existed. Writer 2. Thank you so much for every comment, piece of advice, joke and waffle that you've lent me through our entire friendship. I can't overstate your meaning to me as a person and as the co-writer of all of this. I love you dude.
With that, I'm going to put my pen down. I'll definitely have some new series in the near future, probably some short story thing. But for now, thank you so much for reading Amare Flos.

I don't even know where to start with this, so I'm just going to start with a massive thank you before I start crying. Genuinely to each and every person who has or ever will read Amare Flos, I truly wish I could have a list of all of your names and thank you each personally. An even bigger thank you to all of those of you who are taking the time to read this as well.
It still feels insane that I can get to say, thank you. But truly deeply thank you so much!
Over the years this story has grown into such a big beautiful thing that I truly never could have fathomed at first. I have been so honoured to work and contribute towards this work. Watching it progress and grow over the years has been truly special and I look over all of it very fondly. I know, so sappy of me.
This story truly feels like a part of myself and seeing how far it has come, and its end feels sooooo bittersweet. Being able to read comments and simply knowing in general that other people have been on the same emotional rollercoaster each chapter side by side with me is so amazing to see.
My passion being able to I at least hope be something others got to look forward to and wait ever so patiently for is such a great full circle moment.
I hope at least one of you got excited when seeing at last another chapter notification. I do deeply sincerely apologise for the long waits.
Or to our hopefully future readers being able to binge this. I hope that you were able to say just one more chapter before whatever and it is not simply being one more. I know I at least am very guilty of that with other works and I deeply hope that Amare Flos could do that for at least one person. I think I would genuinely sob happy tears if I ever found that out.
This has been such an amazing journey, I hope you all know I love you all so much.
