ARGH!

*pulls out hair*

I'm literally thisclose to finishing my new Kaleido Star one-shot "What Happens In Paris". I'm at the end of the final scene, but I just can't seem to figure out how to end it. And it's just so FRUSTRATING, because the rest of the story came so easily to me. Seriously, up until this point, the writing was pretty much a breeze, so WHY DOES IT HAVE TO FALL APART AT THE END?

You know, I think part of the problem is I want to give Yuri and Layla a happy ending, and I can't, because the story is based on canon events and I don't want to make it AR. The story is so not a "happily ever after" type fic either. It's supposed to be angsty and kind of dark -- which normally I love -- but Yuri is going through so much turmoil that I can't help but feel like, "Oh, poor baby. Let Layla comfort you some more and heal you with the power of her love". It's ridiculous.

Gah, I don't know what I'm going to do. Maybe it would be best to set it aside for a few days and work on some sailormoonland  entries instead. Trying to force myself to finish the story just isn't working.
