Sadly, we're at the end of Dylan and Bryce's story (there'll be a postscript concerning the short spinoff I have planned).

The Soulmate System has been a serious labor of love for the past couple years, critiquing the "soul mate" trope in a way that people could resonate with in some way. How'd I do?

I can't thank everyone enough for their following, comment, and liking this. This story would not be what it is without people like you taking the time to read it.

I'd like to remind everyone as well that this story is a WIP, so chapter might be added to (or edited) to reflect my desire to make it perfect (or close to it). If you have any thoughts on how to do this, please feel free to let me know!

If you enjoyed this story, feel free to check out my other works. I'll be launching a new story, When The Rain Stops (another BL novel), next Tuesday to fill the space left by this ending. It's also over on Tapas and will be posted weekly until it and what's on Tapas is up-to-date.

Thank you all again for reading!


Gratefully yours,
lucas
