Chapter 18: Author's Note

Summary:

The Author's Note on the Fic!
Aka ME! MarshMelia!

Chapter Text

HELLOOOO PEOPLE!!! It is I indeed, The Author of this fic. It don't feel right calling me an author man HDBSHEVS I WRoTE this gay fic! Now I am going to just YAP alot about the journey of writing this over the months I have aaand yeah but you can skip ahead for more about the fic and ALNST rather than my journey, aight let's get this bread!!

SOOO when I started it was a little after Cure had uploaded and I was ruined but also obsessed with Cure and Tillvan because THEY NEEDED BETTER MAN. THEY DID. And so I brainrotted over an AU they survived in because there was a full version of Cure without the pause for the gay kishhh ...of death... BUT YEAH that's where the vote tie idea came from and I saw alot of Tillvan fics already on Ao3 but I didn't particularly get absolutely hyped about em DON'T GET ME WRONG they were GOOD but I wanted more! I didn't want to settle for oh right after they get settled Till and Ivan gets together I wanted them to reflect on what happened and have that experience AFFECT them and alot of the bases didn't seem to be in good condition which OBVIOUS. THERES IS A BUNCH OF ALIENS THAT WANT THEM DEAD. But I did want a more comfortable environment where most of the conflict and tension comes from their EMOTIONS and FEELINGS rather than alien attacks because that'd be too much pressure and I want a little bit of comedy yk? If they have beer and parties in bunkers I like to think they have a pretty decent base too! But in terms of human forces it doesn't have that many because they got captured or killed during stealth missions WHICH SPEAKING OF is how I imagine they'd get all the bunker stuff and other writers did too! Like obviously in ALL-IN that happened but they didn't take it into base. They also have walkie talkies and other communicative devices but it didn't look the same so I assume most technology here references real technology just a little different and degraded (which is why I made the R-Fone). As for where they got the technology stuff from and how they learnt to do it, I'd think it's stolen from the aliens like books and scraps among other things. Mostly that they stole old versions of technology inspired from human technology and abandoned them.
The plot was only somewhat made up to the first chapter and the second's half up until where Ivan and Till get tied scores and kiss but details? And the other parts? Yeah so that was all planned and improvised while writing... I had to THINK for what I was going to write about next because I didn't even know gang... Oh right I haven't talked about why I made this a time travel fix-it, I needed a reason for Till to kiss back Ivan and also beginning tension is what grabs reader attention sooo I went with that! I also love time travel stuff so there's also that, the time travel affecting till's sanity is something I put in the earlier stages because I wanted it to have a larger presence. But yeah, I started the first and second chapter with points of what I thought in my brainrot and improv! I did NOT expect it to get that much attention and with people wanting more I decided well fuck it I guess I'm writing more freaking chapters!!!
Now we are where of the here... In the middle of posting chapters and continuing the story! Now... I'm sure you can tell... I'm not a 14 yr old fanfic writer with free time... I didn't even have wattpad at that age LMFAO but yeah! I HAVE THINGS TO DO AND I AM A HUMAN I LIKE TO DO SOCIAL THINGS AND HAVE OTHER HOBBIES AND INTERESTS AND DO THINGS FOR THEM AND I ALSO AM LIKE RESPONSIBLE FOR THINGS THAT I AM OBLIGED TO PERFORM unlike jimbortion LMAAOOO SoOO! while writing chapters I occasionally took breaks and focused on myself and my life. An Ao3 fic I made wasn't my top priority. CAN WE GET THAT CLEAR, PLEASE. 😭🙏
Now more onto the chapters, I gave Ivan a gunshot wound and forced him in the infirmary because if I didn't this series would end ALOT FASTER. And I wasn't good at making interactions between him and Till in the serious way just yet. Speaking of, I wanted to give Till mental illness, from all that if he didn't have a mental illness I would be shocked my jaw woulda drOP so I gave him a present of PTSD! And also he scared of needles because of whatever da fawk was at the start of Cure.... [nobodyreadingmyramblingsbutifyoudogetyourimarealonecardRIGHTherebyscreenshot]
I also wanted to ease the tension a bit so I added a little funsy, a little whimsy and teasing with Hyuna, Mizi and Till helping Till settle into the bunker! Until finding Ivan's bloody clothes in the laundry and overhearing Hyuna and Ivan talking about his SACRIFICE plan and Mizi wanting Ivan and Till to have the happiness she couldn't have with Sua...
Crying man I am even though I am not a man... I don't even like man IM A LESBIAN... Speaking of, though. Mizi was made to be someone who lost her love, Sua, and had to be strong in order to live for her. I made her more focused on revenge for the aliens and the entirety of alien stage (except for human participants with the exception of Luka XD) because that's what killed Sua. Obviously this is just an inner part of herself, she's still the nicest cute and kind girl we know her as.... Just not as much... Cry cry sob insert tears... But yes indeed let's get onto making final chapterrr sometimes I did like completely forget about this even existing... That's on me, guys... So when I remembered like oh shit I GOTTA finish this I kiiinda rushed it sooo if the ending feels a little too ehhhh then that's why! Ok! Now onto the the other stuff!

NOW ABOUT ALIEN STAAGEEE oh my goddddd Blink Gone had me in SHAMBLES in both TILLLL MY BABYGIRLLLL and Why is Luka kinda... NSVEJWBBW the songs are still a freaking banger but Luka is always more freaky NOW I DIDN'T TAG ALIEN STAGE SPOILERS BEYOND CURE. SO. I WON'T SAY MORE.

AND NOW FOR THE MOMENT YOU'VE ALL BEEN WAITING FOR.... THE SEQUEL!! That I high likely will not make but I will share what it would be!
The last part of the timeline events from the final chapter is the start to this.

"The Resistance found something peculiar during a search, apparently there were reports of vandalism and destruction of property from the aliens which were thought to be from The Resistance but no known Resistance members have actually done anything like that. Investigation on the unknown survivor has started."

That person was Sua! It was her! SHE ALIVEEEE!!! The gunshot was fake and she was kept in a human product creation space by the alien because they thought her genes would be of use rather than to just kill it all off yk? But because our girlie thought a bit harder on what she left behind, a traumatized Mizi, her views on her own morals shifted when she was put in a space all alone without her. She did try to die again but the space was safe-proofed. Wasn't enough to stop her from trying to escape thoughh and during that she was hiding and stalling for time for some aliens to leave the room she was in until she found a newspaper that said that Mizi was MISSING from Alien Stage and was found with a human terrorist, Hyuna, breaking into Alien Stage and kidnapping Till and Ivan. With this information, knowing that Mizi is alive and still fighting out there, Sua made a resolve to see her again! So she worked with what she could, hiding what she could from the aliens, switching up the order of mating in the system of that place though she did feel guilty for doing that. And after some time she broke out with only a few other survivors and hid from the aliens. Soon enough they started to steal from the aliens and survive in that way! But if the aliens found out that it was three survivors including a past alien stage idol they would probably get captured and or killed again. Sooo they framed The Resistance but that wasn't the only reason they did, if the resistance was directly framed for robbery without them having to do anything with it, they'd surely come and investigate right? That was another one of the motives and one more that Sua had with her was that she could see Mizi again! (And the others too but like yeah her girlfriend mostly hehehehehehe)

For this one I wanted to make it more fight and action themed with Time Travel playing a bigger role in this. Reaching The Resistance about the survivor criminals that framed them, Not getting caught while seeing what stealth missions to both the resistance and other escapee humans actually have to do. Till is still the one with Time Travel but doesn't know how to work it. Sua and the two other survivors which I'll call Clara and Seung, due to their state of constant danger around aliens they... die alot. But Till in due time learns through alien newspapers or broadcasts and reverts time to see if he can do anything to prevent it.

After some fights, arcs, trial and error, angst, deaths, revives, etc... WE GET HAPPY FLUFF YURI REUNIONNNN and everyone is alive and happy and well and it's ok because the resistance has therapists (plot twist it's Miller BAHAHAHAHHA)

well, truth is I'll probably never get around to writing it. IF YOU DO WANT TO WRITE THIS, LET ME KNOW I WILL CHECK IT OUT also give me credit tho bombastic side eye.

Thank you for reading until this far! And thank you for waiting until this fic was over which took a long time... BUT THANK YOU ANYWAY!!

Notes:

[Afternote: ..and that's a cliffhanger! I'll probably be back to write this, I'm too insane about them and all it took was one kiss scene which i watched alone for like five hours atp, I'm an amateur writer or consider myself one so there may be mistakes here and there, constructive criticism is appreciated but don't be too harsh :') and yeah that's it, hope you enjoyed it!]
