Thank you fanfic authors, for giving us the mechanic au, for the barista version, for recommending us the tattoo shop with the perfect florist and bookstore-café next door. For cradling the childhood au, the little version, the traumatized. Thank you for creating and expanding, playing with the what-ifs, in and out of canon.
For the visions of scales, wings, fins and fangs. The red tread tying them together, the expanded friendships and found families. Thank you for holding their hand while you are sending them up in space, igniting the spark of magic, encouraging their speeches as teachers, politicians or rowdy teenagers.
For never giving up, for bringing the insomnia, the meet-cute and libraries full of all possible outcomes (and kissing nooks). Thank you for solving the crimes or creating the murder scene, for giving the pop star and the rocker a world tour and the best social media mistakes. Thank you, for lending us your stories.
