Hello my dear!

I’m really happy to answer questions about the Chilling Adventures of Sabrina tie-ins and thank you for your kind words about them. I think your question got cut off but I’m happy to rattle on about the books. They mean a lot to me: they were the first tie-ins I wrote, and I was coming back from illness and not sure I could write anything anymore. I truly don’t know what I’d have done without CAOS.

I think very few reboots/remakes these days are taking big swings, and so the fact that Sabrina the Teenage Witch would now become a tale of Satanism and a culture that was default poly was a delightful surprise to me. Scholastic, my publisher for the books who are famous for their book fairs that sell in to schools, may have also been taken aback.

My editor for the books, Beth, who was a joy to work with and I’d work with her again in a blink (she titled all the books, it was so great), responded ‘don’t worry, I hired a freak’ and I agreed with finger guns that she sure did.

(Note: Beth always very professional, I am sure the actual interaction was along the lines of, Scholastic observed the content of the show and went, will this pose challenges to your author? And Beth said, my author is up to any challenge.)

I also completely broke tie-in rules and contacted some actors for their head canons which they duly gave me and that was a gift. As was getting to write a great trans storyline with illumination from lived experience. I did get to meet up with a couple of the CAOS actors in person and one of them informed the ice cream shop owner of the shop where we were getting ice cream that I was always torturing them. Me: in fiction! Dang! Salted caramel please.

For the specific question, I do think Nick Scratch was always going to try to go back to Sabrina the moment he felt remotely psychologically prepared to do so. He was still, as we saw in the show, tragically messed up when he did do so. (Which is okay. People don’t need to be 100% psychologically healthy to be in romantic relationships or who among us would be.) She was a crucial pillar of his support system, but her circumstances brought much damage along with her and he just needed more support generally. I do think his and Prudence’s briefly rekindled romance was a way for both of them of retreating to a safer-feeling past, and a way to be there for each other as given their witch upbringing they didn’t entirely know how to be supportive friends, and both were aware of that.

And Sabrina’s mortal friends, also extremely damaged by all the events but having a slightly more functional support system and awareness of the concept of mental health, almost got to be friendly enough with Nick to help him. As the poet Nikita Gill says, ‘the saddest word in the whole wide world is the word almost… He almost lived. They almost made it.’

The end of the show hit me hard because I really loved the characters. We talked about, and I hoped to write, a book 4 that fell before Part 4 but would fill in some gaps for Zelda, ferociously determined to shield Sabrina, for Theo, in his first and complicated relationship, for Harvey, having met and punched Caliban Prince of Hell and thus in a place of ‘Nick wasn’t so bad comparatively… I personally always liked him’, and for Sabrina in both her incarnations and under a shadow. I even mooted (and this was not officially ever okayed, and even if it had been, would not have had any definitive answers) a post-part 4 epilogue with Zelda in the graveyard, and Prudence and Harvey on a lonely shore.
