Okay! I'm sorry for not writing an epilogue. I couldn't figure out what to add to the story but now I've got it!

In his world fifteen years is nothing more than the descent of a feather. Compared to his own lifespan fifteen years wasn't even a twitch of the fingers.

But time runs the same for all creatures. Fifteen years is an agonizing amount of time to wait for a woman.

And he was waiting for two.

His truest love and his daughter. He ached to hold them both.

As the child he grew to love as his own lived and learned in the world of mortals he wished desperately for her to say the words that would reunite them all. Hope burned in his chest when she cried and ran from her life. Hope that she had finally grown out of the reality she found herself in; hope that she finally understood that there was a better place for her. And his heart burst with shattered dreams when she decided fairies couldn't help her, when she was too stubborn to say the words.

And his love waited patiently for the child to grow old enough to understand the choices she had. She worked so hard to ensure that the little one had the chance to make a fair decision and her capacity to wait depressed him for he was an impatient and selfish man.

His need for them made him unable to stay out of their lives though he knew he should. He left presents for his daughter, trying to entice her too him with the promise of all the things he would spoil her with. And the love of his immortal life smiled knowingly at the treasures the child found and cradled the crystal in her hands as she slept, so they could see each other in the briefness of fading dreams.

He waited.

And fifteen years went by, his love for the mortal woman leaving her unchanged as the baby grew.

When they finally returned to him he believed he did not have the ability to let them go again.

Because they were his now, forever.

It's probably not the most satisfactory epilogue, (but epilogues suck). I wanted it to kind of mimic the preface I made and I think this is a good way for me to finish this story. I'm so happy that so many people love this fic so much! It's amazing to see all of the reviews begging for a sequel. Honestly, I don't think I could make a sequel to this. I really hope that this story inspires other people though! Who knows? Maybe you could make the sequel? Or a oneshot. :) You could tell everyone what Jareth did after Kassydie, or before her, (I'm a bit of a Sange/Jareth fan myself, two generations between Sarah and Kassydie with that hot kelpie around? Mrow! :3)

Anyway, I'm glad everyone liked this so much! I'll do my best to fall in love again soon!
