Well, this is it! THE FINAL LAST EPILOGUE AND LAST CHAPTER of my world of Kismet. It started back in 2018 with some random Marauder snippets that I put aside to write about Sirius and Remus raising Harry which turned from a 25 chapter story idea to 360 chapters of A Second Chance and led me to write a prequel with my original Marauder snippets in The First Time Around. It ended with Third Times the Charm.
As I always say, I write this story for myself first and this is the final chapter of what I wanted to write and how I wanted to end my world of Kismet. I’m very excited to share it with you and I hope you’re excited to read it. I hope those of you who have been reading this story have been enjoying it even half as much as I’ve enjoyed writing it and that you like the ending as much as I do. And for those of you who don’t, I thank you for reading as long as you have and hope you find a story some day that pleases you more. There are a lot of amazing writers in the world and I hope someone gives you the ending you want.
As for me I am very proud of my final scene and of this trilogy.
THANK YOU!
I would like to firstly thank @thedistantdusk, who even though only was my Beta from chapters 200-360 of ASC and for all of The First Time Around, her patience and guidance were greatly appreciated. Thank you to SilverStarwolfe who was my first Beta from about chapter 120-190 before life got in the way and she had to stop, her patience and guidance was also greatly appreciated. Thank you to @seriouslysam8 who was an amazing sounding board and helped me work out the kinks in the final idea of Sirius and Zee and helped me come up with the story titles for The First Time Around and Third Times the Charm. I really appreciate all of the help she gave me and hope one day she might even read it too. LOL. Thank you to @ellieoryan7447 for being such an amazing reader who went out of her way to attempt to make character art all about my characters. It’s surreal to me that people even want to do that and is more appreciated than I can possibly put into words. And lastly, thank you to @celtics534 for putting up with my random asks about reading over scenes, giving great writing advice, and not being afraid to tell me when something is crap and how to fix it. You’re more appreciated than you know. PS — Sorry for bothering the crap out of you with final reviews of this last chapter LOL.
Thank you to everyone who has been reading from the beginning, to those jumped in somewhere in the middle, and to anyone new who stumbled across this world when the final story was ending. THANK YOU!
Thank you so much to everyone who has taken the time to follow me in this story-writing journey for the last six years. It means so much to me.
I have no plans of writing anything else in the near future, as I do very much need a break, but who knows what the future will bring. These epilogues, while being very much a conclusion, still leave lots of holes for me to jump back in if I ever want to (old and next generation). It leaves the world of Kismet open to me in the future while still showing you that that there was a happily ever after for these characters (which is very much deserved).
Thank you again for all of the continuous support and love I have received.
Please remember to drop a review — I love to read to them.
THANK YOU!
Love always, 😘

There is a lot of really funny cock talk. Most of them are around average, but Remus is 10 inches, Harry is 9 inches, and Ron is around 7 inches.
That's all you need to know.

Harry and Ron are new Auror recruits trying to track down the three main Death Eaters who escaped the Battle of Hogwarts (Bellatrix Lestrange, Belladonna Brambilla, and Barty Crouch Junior). Zee has gone missing and the Death Eaters have the resurrection stone. Ginny’s at Hogwarts for her seventh year and newly signed to play with the Holyhead Harpies while attending her final year of school. Hermione is working at the Ministry of Magic in the new department created within the DRCMC. Tonks has returned to work and Remus is Deputy Headmaster of Hogwarts with McGonagall as Headmistress. And in the middle of the cemetery in Godric’s Hollow, the evil trio of Death Eaters used the resurrection stone with evil intentions… TTTC will continue into the future of the world and characters you've all come to love.

Thanks to @ellieoryan7447 for her edits of Harry and Ginny above. It's hard to find the perfect embodiment of Harry and Ginny, but they are a great start to how I imagine them :D
Other Breanie Fanfics
I first started writing fanfiction in 2005 and posted on the Harry/Ginny fanfic archive called Sink Into Your Eyes. I later branched out into the Ron/Hermione fanfic archive called Checkmated which doesn’t even exist anymore lol.

“Good,” Theo said. “Classes have been keeping me pretty busy.”
Sebastian kissed his forehead. “Are you still loving them?”
“So much,” Theo admitted. “Do you have to go into work today?”
“Yes,” Sebastian told him. “I took some time to catch you this morning and let you know I’m home, but I have some paperwork to do and a debriefing to sit through. I’ll be home before dinner. Promise.”
“Good,” Theo said, wrapping his arms around Sebastian’s waist and tilting his head back to look up at him. “We can catch up and then snog some more.”
“Deal,” Sebastian said, stealing another kiss. He ran his thumb under Theo’s eyes. “You been sleeping okay, baby? More nightmares?”
Theo shrugged. “Same old.” He wiggled out of his boyfriend’s grasp. “I have to get to class.”
They dressed and headed down to the kitchen to get some breakfast. They made scrambled eggs and toast together before Theo kissed him quickly and hurried off. Sebastian finished his own breakfast, wondering what kind of nightmares were keeping Theo from sleeping well. He knew something was bothering him and the dark circles under his eyes definitely looked more pronounced than they’d been before he’d left for Slovakia.
He sighed and decided he would do his best to make sure Theo received a good night’s sleep tonight and then grabbed his things to head to the Magical Intelligence Agency.
Sebastian spent thirty minutes working on his reports before he met Yeona and Durant in the debriefing room with Auror M. They’d been assigned for almost three weeks on this mission that had taken them deep into Slovakia to work with a team of Aurors there about a Potion smuggling ring. The Potions being smuggled were dangerous and the recruiters had somehow gotten children involved in the actual smuggling; carrying them in their backpacks. There has been fifteen Potion related deaths before the MIA had been called in. They’d lost another three before they were able to solve the case. It had taken longer than they planned to put everything together and close the case, but they had closed it and three men had been arrested for the smuggling and one witch for manslaughter.
By the time Auror M finished the debriefing, he was starving. He nudged Durant as they headed out.
“Have time to grab lunch? I’m famished.”
Durant nodded and they headed out to take the lifts down. When the doors opened at the atrium, Sebastian was surprised to see Harry standing there.
“Harry, hi,” he said.
Harry smiled. “Hi, Sebastian. Where are you lot heading?”
“Food,” Durant answered. “This one’s starving.”
“Want to join us, Harry?” Sebastian offered.
“Can’t,” Harry said. “I have a meeting with McCraight in ten. Oh, since I have you here. Don’t worry about the guard, all right? Ron and I took care of it. I got Robards on it.”
Sebastian lifted an eyebrow. “What guard?”
“The Azkaban one,” Harry said, running his fingers through his hair. “He’s been suspended for two weeks without pay impending an investigation, but I think he’s going to get fired no matter what the outcome. It’s only been a few days obviously and the guard didn’t know the rules, or he so says, but Macmillan’s been put on a tighter lockdown. He won’t be sending any more letters out.”
“Letters?” Sebastian asked, the word coming out a bit harsher than he meant it. “What letters?”
Harry’s eyes widened at the look of confusion on Sebastian’s face. “Oh, fuck. You didn’t know, did you?”
“Know what?”
“Bloody hell. Look, I’m sorry. Forget I said anything.”
“Can’t do that,” Sebastian said, a million thoughts rushing through his head. “What about Macmillan?”
Harry let out a slow breath. “Theo said that he was going to tell you.”
“Then I’m sure he will, but why don’t you tell me since we’re here,” Sebastian demanded, his voice coming out like ice.
“Look, Macmillan sent him a letter and it upset him. You were gone and… he came to hang out with Ron and I; spent the night. He had… well, one hell of a nightmare. We couldn’t wake him,” Harry said and a chill rushed over Sebastian as he remembered how pale and tired his man had looked. “Once he finally woke up, he looked panicked like he was trapped in his own head or something. The three of us slept on the sofa together after and he said that he was fine when morning came.”
Sebastian frowned. “They can be bad, his nightmares. What exactly was in this letter? It must have triggered it.”
Harry’s eyes darkened. “Nothing good. You should talk to Theo. Just know that Ron and I handled it, all right? He won’t be reaching out again. It’s been taken care of.”
Sebastian nodded as Harry hurried off.
“I’m sure he’s fine,” Durant said, squeezing his friend’s shoulder.
“I know he is,” Sebastian said. “I saw him this morning and he was. He looked tired, but the fact that he went to see Harry tells me that he wasn’t all right, D.”
“Talk to him,” Durant said. “I’m sure that he has a reason why he didn’t tell you.”
Sebastian planned on it, but first he needed to make sure that everything was exactly as Harry had said. It wasn’t that he didn’t trust Harry, but he was still only an A1 and it was Theo. He needed to make sure that he was going to be safe.
Durant tagged along with him to the Ministry of Magic to talk to the Department of Corrections. Nolan Winters told him the same thing that Harry had told him. He went over the investigation into the guards himself before he insisted on going to the crypt to check on Macmillan personally.

SNEAK PEEK Chapter 4 -- The One Where They're Accidentally Living Together
“We have to go, Bas. Blaise made the reservation for seven,” Theo told him, stepping up behind his boyfriend and dancing his fingertips over his tight abs. Merlin, his boyfriend had some fine abs.
Sebastian turned back to the closet. “I know, I know! Where is this bloody blue shirt you want me to wear? Have you seen it recently?”
Theo shook his head, his hands still all over his boyfriend’s muscles. “No, not since we last did laundry.”
“Right,” Sebastian said, searching back through the hangers. “I swore it was in here.”
Theo stared at the clothes suddenly realizing what he’d just said. The amount of clothing that Sebastian had in Theo’s closet was almost his entire wardrobe, maybe more. Theo was always picking him up shirts or jumpers from time to time and adding them to his boyfriend’s side of the closet without telling him. As he looked at the clothing on the rack, a surprised breath ran through him.
Were they living together?
When was the last time that Sebastian had even gone home?
“What is it?” Sebastian asked, turning to look at him and giving Theo another exciting view of all of those muscles and his tight abs.
“Your clothes,” he began, licking his bottom lip. “Bas… do we live together?”
Sebastian laughed and tugged a black dress shirt from the hanger, giving up on finding the blue one. “Of course not. I still have my flat in Manchester. If we were living together, we would have talked about it.”
“But… all of your clothes are here.”
Sebastian turned back to look at his clothes in bafflement. “Um… I don’t think so. I still have clothes at my flat.”
Theo blinked. “When’s the last time we were at your flat?”
Sebastian gave him another baffled look and then he frowned. “I… I don’t know. I mean, we haven’t really talked about it and… September, maybe? August? Fuck, I… I don’t even remember the last time that I slept in my own bed.”
“We’ve never talked about it,” Theo began, looking thoughtful.
“We can’t just be living together,” Sebastian insisted, his eyes wide in panic. “That doesn’t make sense. This is like an important step that couples talk about and we never… do you want me to go back to my flat? I don’t know how so many of my clothes ended up here, but… I’ll bring them home with me tonight.”
Theo jumped into his arms, making Sebastian laugh as he caught him, dropping the black shirt in his hands to the floor. He linked his arms around his neck. “No!”
“No?” Sebastian repeated, wrapping Theo’s legs around his waist to hold him in place.
“I love your flat, but I don’t want you there. I want you here. Let’s talk about it, Sebastian. Right now. Do you want to live together? With me, I mean.”
“Baby, I think that I’ve kind of been living here for months and we didn’t know it,” Sebastian admitted, an amused look on his face.
Theo chuckled. “I don’t like sleeping without you.”
“Me neither,” Sebastian confessed, biting his bottom lip. “So, are we going to do this then? Move in together? Officially?”
“I don’t know,” Theo replied. “You love your flat. Do you want me to move in there with you?”
Sebastian’s smile was soft. “I do love my flat, but I would never ask you to move in there with me when you have a manor, Theo.”
“House.”
“Manor,” Sebastian teased. “And I think I unofficially moved in here already.”
Theo grinned and planted a big kiss on his mouth. “Perfect. Don’t leave me. There, we discussed it. You live here now. Let’s go get the rest of your stuff.”
Sebastian laughed. “I live here now, eh? Just like that?”
He slid his hands over the muscles in his chest, over each plain and groove as he nodded. “In my bed where you belong. Right?”
Sebastian bent his head to capture his mouth in his. “I want to be wherever you are, baby. Let’s do it. Let’s move in together.”
Since everyone has been so kind this week and mentioning a Breanie appreciation day (like honestly, how did I get so lucky here to have amazing readers like this) -- I am dropping 2 sneak peeks!
Sneak Peek Chapter 327 -- The One With the Lily and the Rose
HINNY
Harry woke up slowly. The setting winter sun shone through the big windows and the balcony doors. He half covered his eyes with his arm before he looked down at the bright red hair that was covering his chest. He brought his hand down to her hair and she made a soft moan, nuzzling her face into him before she lifted her head to meet his eyes.
“Hi.”
“Hi,” Harry said, grinning. “You okay?”
“Mmhmm,” she said, biting her bottom lip. “You?”
“Brilliant,” he said.
Ginny kissed his chest. “What time is it?”
Harry squinted at the clock. “Too far, I can’t tell.”
She gave him an amused look before looking over at where he was squinting. “It’s only a little after six.”
Harry’s hand slid over her naked back. “So, plenty of time to do that again, then?”
Ginny snuggled back into his arms. “Three times seems like a good start, don’t you think?” When he only wiggled his eyebrows in response, she smiled. “Do you feel different, Harry? I feel different.”
He shrugged. “I dunno. Should I?”
Ginny kissed his shoulder. “I just mean… I don’t know. I feel like everything makes sense now. That everything I was worried about was for naught and you and I are… closer. I sound silly, don’t I?”
Harry kissed the top of her head. “No, you don’t. I do think we’re closer. I reckon the fact that we’ve just lost our virginities together makes it more special, doesn’t it? Like we were waiting for each other.”
Ginny’s nails traced a pattern on his chest. “Even though I wasn’t… I mean, I’m not technically a virgin?”
Harry’s fingertips continued to glide over her naked shoulder. “Not anymore…”
She pinched him and he grinned.
“That didn’t count, Ginny. We both know that. Today was our first time. For both of us.”
Her nail traced his nipple. “Yes, but it was still a moment where it was…”
“No,” Harry insisted. “Virginity isn’t limited, it’s about who you were willing to give yourself to. I was the first one to be inside of you, Ginny.” He tilted her face up so that he could kiss her lips. “Only me.”
The soft smile on her lips made him kiss him again
“Did it hurt?” he asked, frowning as his eyes met hers. “Uncle Remus said it can hurt witches and… well, the bigger the um…” his neck flushed.
Ginny kissed his chin. “Did you just say that you have a big cock, Harry?”
He shrugged, biting his bottom lip. “I’m not saying that to be like, you know… I just want to make sure that I didn’t hurt you?” He brushed her hair back behind her ear. “Did I?”
“It hurt at first,” she admitted. “But you were so gentle and so… I was ready for you and that makes a big difference.”
He nodded, his fingers gliding down her arm. “But after it… it felt okay?“
“It was lovely,” Ginny said, pressing her lips to his collarbone. “And each time, it hurt less. The third round was kind of brilliant actually. I felt so… complete.” She buried her face in his chest again. “Merlin, that sounds stupid!”
“No,” he repeated. “I feel it too. I felt… complete. Like everything just fit.” He linked his fingers with hers. “Like we fit together. Like we were meant to be.”
Ginny kissed his chest again. “I love you, Harry. I know that you’ve wanted this for a long time and that I wasn’t ready. I love that you were so patient with me, so kind. Most wizards would have complained or pressured me and you never did.”
Harry’s lips curved. “Hard to complain when my witch kept her mouth wrapped around my cock as often as you did.”
“Crude,” she teased.
He grinned. “But accurate. I love you and I would have waited until our wedding night if you’d asked.”
Ginny’s fingers froze from where they were tracing his tattoo. “Our wedding night? Better not let my mum hear that. She and Zee will have it all planned out in a month.”
“Let them.”
Ginny smiled, her fingers continuing to dance along his skin. “The thought of marrying you one day is just… gods, sometimes I think we’re too young to even be thinking about it and other times I can see it so clearly. Us living here, maybe with some kids underfoot one day, and it just feels right.”
“It is right,” he said. “Not now, maybe not even in a year or two, but some day, Gin… one day, I want to marry you. I want to have babies with you one day and the thought terrifies me because Voldemort is out there and….”
Ginny touched his arm. “No. Stop it. I won’t let you think like that.”
“I don’t want to think like that,” he admitted. “It’s just… I can’t be lucky forever and he’s…”
“No,” she whispered, her cheek resting over his heart. “I can’t even imagine losing you. I can’t even think about… Harry, you’ll defeat him. You won’t be alone. You’ll have people around to back you up like before.”
“Unless he locks the two of us in some sort of warding again,” he said.
“No,” Ginny repeated. “Harry, I can’t have you thinking like that. I won’t! No negativity. You have to be positive and confident. I love you. Tom has taken so much from both of us and I will not let him take you away, too. I want our future, Harry. I want to spend the rest of our lives together. Decades. A century or two even.”
His lips curved. “A century or two, eh?”
“For starters.”
He ran his fingers through her hair. “Ron has some mad idea that if I die you’ll just bring me back and kill me yourself?”
“Oh most definitely,” Ginny vowed. “And I would make it so incredibly painful!”
“Gin?”
“I’m not joking,” she said vehemently. “You would be in a world of pain.”
“Noted. Gin?” She turned her head to look up at him. “I love you and I promise that I will try my absolute best not to die.”
Ginny’s brown eyes were full of emotion as she just nodded. “Okay.”
Harry kissed her slowly, achingly slow as he framed her face in his hands. He lingered over every stroke of her lips until she moaned and then he rolled her over onto her back. Her breasts bounced at the motion and Harry’s hand cupped one of them, bending his head to suck one of the rosy peaks.
“You’re so beautiful.” His other hand kneaded her hip, one finger stroking along her thigh before his hand slipped between her legs. “I want you again, Ginny.”
She pulled his mouth back to hers for a long kiss. “I want you, too, but I’m… a little sore,” she admitted.
He kissed her nose. “I’m sorry.”
“No,” she said with a smile. “Good sore. Like after a really good game of Quidditch.”
“Comparing me to Quidditch again?”
“Yes,” Ginny said, letting her hand slide down to cup him. “As I think I’ve just ridden a very hard broomstick, did I not?”
He snorted. “Wow.”
She giggled. “That was awful, wasn’t it?”
“Definitely,” he agreed. He kissed her breast again. “Merlin, now that I know what it’s like… I’m going to want you even more. I didn’t think that was possible, but I do.” He dragged his tongue over her nipple, watching it harden. “Are you too sore or can I use my tongue?”
THEOBAS
“I get it,” Theo said, leaning back in his seat. “Ginny and I talked about it last night, actually, your job and… what it means to be with someone who has to cancel all of the time. The ramifications of that.”
Sebastian linked his fingers with his, leaning across the table a bit. “It’s not going to be easy, I know it. Being with someone like me is hard because of my job and I know that asking you to start something with me — after knowing that it could be like this — is hard. I would completely understand if you didn’t want to start something between us. I would hate it, but I’d get it, Theo.”
Theo squeezed Sebastian’s hand in his. He had thought about it. He’d be lying to himself if he said he hadn’t. The idea of never having definite plans, of never knowing when he would get to see him again. It was something he had thought about. But there was a bigger part of him that told him he was wrong. He didn’t know what this was that they were starting between them, but he knew that he didn’t want to lose it.
“We’ve already started something, Bas,” Theo replied, “and I think it’s worth it.”
“So do I,” Sebastian said, kissing their joined hands. He pulled the privacy charms down as they turned to their breakfast. “So, you said that you had something fun in mind for today?”
“Yes,” Theo said, looking at Sebastian from under his lashes and suddenly feeling a bit nervous. “The professors are putting on a little winter festival at Hogwarts with ice skating, a little winter café, and sledding. I thought that it would be fun if we went to check it out.”
“Sledding definitely sounds fun,” Sebastian said, his lips curving. “I haven’t been sledding in years.”
Theo bit his lip. “I don’t know about fun, exactly. Professor Hagrid designed it and his idea of fun can sometimes be a bit dangerous, but I’ve never been sledding before so I’m not sure.”
“Even better,” Sebastian said. “You’ll love it. The thrill of flying over the hills at neck-breaking speed and not knowing when or why or how you’re going to stop… it’s one of the best things about winter.”
“I take it back,” Theo said, shaking his head. “We can’t go sledding.”
Sebastian chuckled. “You can hold on tight to me and I’ll steer.”
Theo’s smile widened. “Well, all right, if you insist.”
“I do,” he said. “How have you never been sledding? What did you do in the snow when you were a kid?”
Theo shrugged. “I don’t know. I just haven’t.”
“Dad used to take me and my sisters out every winter to this one hill. We’d race to see who was the fastest. Soraya and I on one and Dad and Selene on the other. Maman would be down at the finish line, cheering us on.”
“Did you win?”
Sebastian nodded. “Usually. Soraya and I can be very competitive. One year we crashed into a tree, broke the sled, and Soraya broke her arm. I broke my ankle. We were a mess. But we still claimed victory because we hit the tree before Selene and Dad passed us.”
“You’re mad,” Theo said, shaking his head. “I don’t think I trust you to steer anymore.”
Sebastian grinned. “Just hold on tight and you’ll love it.”
“I did try skiing once. Seven years ago, in Switzerland,” Theo admitted. “It was actually kind of fun once I got the hang of it.”
“You went skiing?”
Theo nodded. “Father dragged me off there during the winter holiday. He went off to meet his concubine and I went off to see the sites. I ended up seeing some Muggles skiing and figured I’d give it a go! It was fun. I liked the lift thingie that brought me up to the hill. I would do that again.”
“You’ll like sledding,” Sebastian assured him. “And for the record, I think I’d love to see you skiing.”
Theo grinned. “I think It’d like to do it again some time. See if I can still remember how.” He reached across the table to touch Sebastian’s hand. “After we go sledding today and check out this little winter festival at Hogwarts, maybe we can continue that talk about more we started.”
Sebastian’s blue eyes heated. “Or you can just come back to mine.”
Theo swallowed, his heart racing. “Yes. I’d like that.”
