#hook echo

Thank you so much!

This is one of those rare instances where I actually understand when published authors are like “nope, that’s all the story, it ended because that’s all the story I had, if you have fanfic ideas of what happens next, be free children”. Normally I do have ideas on like what happens next! But in this case–well, I was torn on the ending, whether or not Killian would propose. I did think it might happen, but narratively it didn’t work out.

But I do think he’s got a ring stashed somewhere in that house and the second Emma was in the shower he went to the hiding place to make sure it was undamaged after the storm lol.

But as for them actually getting married and what kind of job Killian takes on… I don’t have any ideas on that. I don’t think Killian’s quite ready to be tied to a desk yet, but man he’d look pretty on The Weather Channel. I can see him continuing as a postdoc researcher (they get paid!) for a while, I’m sure he’d like to follow through on his dissertation results and see what else he can get. His research also lends itself to meteorological technology development, and also there’s, y’know, books and conferences and stuff. Government work, think tanks… hell, there’s meteorological forensics! (how did that hurricane affect this row of houses? did that plane crash due to lightning in the area?)

Then there's this shit looks like a spinached-up Popeye arm punching San Francisco
