Wild Horses

End notes

Hello everyone! Thank you for reading Wild Horses.

Some fun facts about the story:

I hope y'all thought the villains' names were funny 😁

The villain Lenny Linguine and his stand were based on musician Annie Lennox. (Chapter: Broken Glass)

I wrote the 11 chapters from "Abbacchio Revealed" to "The guys bully Mista" in a closet at my old job.

I followed some tropes to pay respect to all of the fan fiction I've read on here. For example, I wasn't going to have them all live in a hideout together, or make the big sting at a ball. But then I started wondering, "Well, what would my version of the hideout be like? What would my version of the mansion party sting look like?" I like reading different interpretations of scenarios like that 🤷‍♀️ and I wanted to throw my hat in the ring.

The "old spaghetti warehouse" they turn into their hideout is a nod to a funny restaurant called Spaghetti Warehouse. It used to be a chain but I think most of them have shut down.

Yes, Lira's father's physical appearance was inspired by Doppio! He's so cute 🥰 Is it really him, though? Idk, it's probably just coincidence.

and finally.....

Part 2, Bang Bang, is coming out now.
It takes place after the canon events of Vento Aureo. If you don't like Mista and want Bucciarati and Lira to live happily ever after, then I don't recommend it. If you liked the scenes with Mista and Lira, then do read it 😎
