First of all, I have intensely enjoyed being along for the ride. I remember a long time ago in the Sentinel verse, a writer called Francesca had a long series of stories that eventually came to an end. It was very satisfying.

With your, each part has been so delicious to savor that one doesn't want it to end! Yet I can feel it organically coming to a close. Jeff is just about ready to go back and find his family; Jared and Jensen have faced down a lot of problems and committed themselves to each other; Jensen's going to get medical attention and see if further help is needed, etc. Plus with his identity cleared up and his family found, Jensen has a lot of resources; like he could get them a nicer place if they want, or do as much art as he wants all the time.

Maybe he'll never want to go back into architecture -- maybe he'll be happier as an artist than he ever was before-- that seems to be the case from what his family has said.

The biggest unanswered question, for me, is why the cop had Jared arrested -- out of spite, or what? Maybe the cop was anti-homeless?

Anyway congrats on a great story! ending, shmending!
