He would be able to turn the ability back on someone else, to show them glimpses of their own future or of his. With enough control of it, he could even choose what to show them, good or bad or specific moments. With even more practice and control, he could even show them someone else’s future, like a loved one’s.

         a glimpse at the future of the muses, when they don’t meet outside muses.

Hunter graduates from college a little earlier, goes to grad school, keeps going to grad school, eventually gets a PHD. The kid, who’s no longer a kid at this point-- although his unending optimism seems to indicate otherwise-- loves robotics. He loves them like some people love art or movies or video games. He loves them as a hobby that he turns into a career. And he revolutionizes the industry. He becomes the industry. He wins an award or two while he’s still alive. He wins several more posthumously. People talk about how he died too young. He’s 35 and his heart fails one night while he’s working late in his lab. But he always knew his heart would fail earlier than most and even death can’t banish that optimism. He’s lived a good life and he’s happy with all he accomplished before he went.

Kai and Vivian go into business together, because neither of them can handle having a boss and both of them want to do something other than steal for the rest of their lives. It’s the first thing he’s worked on in ages that he can tell his parents about and he’s so proud of it. Vivian has the artistic skill and Kai has the technical know-how. They go into animation together. It starts with a webseries, becomes a cartoon, becomes a couple of video games and keeps going. It’s just the two of them for ages, before they finally start expanding and somehow they’re in charge of a company and it’s doing well and they’re making money. They offer jobs to all of their old roommates, but none of them accept. They’re not surprised, but the offer was sincere.

Chase dies young, like his brother. Because not everyone gets a happy ending. Viv is devastated, even if the development isn’t shocking. He’s out on a hunt and things go wrong. He’s in his 40s, 41 to be exact, and at this point, he’s honestly tired, though he doesn’t know what else to do with his life. There’s no one there to help him, because he’s never been good at teamwork, and the wendigo gets the best of him. He meets his brother in the afterlife, learns he even had a brother to begin with, dislikes his parents a little more with this information. He sees Abby for the first time in nearly 25 years. She’s a little angry, but not quite what he expected. But grudges never were her thing. She’s gone after that, her soul finally able to go wherever it was meant to go. They both needed closure, apparently. He and Hunter both reincarnate, eventually, into happier families and better lives, so maybe there is a happy ending somewhere.

Dana loves cars more than some parents love their own children and she can’t imagine doing anything that doesn’t involve them. So when she’s had her fill of crime, she opens up a shop. She hires more women than men, because there aren’t enough female mechanics out in the world. She pays for it all with money she’s saved over the years, so it’s a little questionable, but Kai covers her tracks for her and she settles in happily. She loves restoring old cars. She does it in her spare time and she’s helped a few regular clients out with it. It’s not an exciting life, but it feels right and she can’t complain.

Robin sorts his shit out, which involves finding another seer who knows how to control the ability and learning from them. It takes time, but he’s willing to do it. This is all he’s ever wanted out of life. The first thing he does once he’s gained control is go to a bar, have a few drinks, and make out with a stranger, because he’s never been able to touch anyone else in his life. The second thing he does, the next day, is check into rehab. It’s rough and unpleasant, but as soon as he’s allowed visitors, his friends are there for him, and he gets clean. He goes back to school, gets a degree in history, starts teaching high school. He knew when he was a kid that this was what he wanted to do if he could ever be around people without risking his powers acting up. He never expected that day to come, but here he is and he’s amazed.

how does the image your character tries to project differ from the image they actually project?

weeeeeelllll. robin tries to pretend to have his shit even vaguely together. he tries to act like he’s just… aloof and doesn’t need anyone and that his powers don’t bother him. he tries to pretend that being constantly on guard isn’t exhausting.

he doesn’t manage any of this. you look at this boy for like one minute and you can see he’s a trainwreck. he always looks like he’s on edge, too tense, too tired, and he flinches someone when people get near him. like… bast case scenario, he looks like a drug addict (which he is, so, y’know) and worst case scenario, he looks like he’s one rough day away from becoming a serial killer and it’s not subtle.
