When You Fell from Heaven — 26 — Machine (19.4k words)
🕑 Added 2025-09-04 21:54:54 +0000 UTCSo chapter 26 was going to be the final chapter of book two. But my plan for it was a little too long for it to be a normal-length chapter. I thought, fine, okay, it’ll just be long. And then I started working on it, and it turned out that it was going to be way too long, so I figured out a good place to split the plan, and now, chapter 27 will be the final chapter of book two! Hurrah!

I... have been sitting on this chapter, staring at it and unable to open it for weeks now. Just... working up the courage. This book has caused me to break down sobbing more than anything else I've ever read, and I just know this one is gonna break me for a bit. (please note, I mean this as the *highest* complement to your writing)

Holy smokes, what a chapter! Alyson, I'm so in awe of your writing. Started following you recently after being dazzled by The Catch on Emory's site, and just fell in love with Maxine and Taylor and all of it. Finally caught up and sad I now have to wait for the next chapter! The confrontation with the parents felt so vivid. Rooting for dad and hoping mom will eventually come around to a redemptive place. Just wow!
