    Summary

    An epilogue following the true end, in which Sunny remembers how to be a real person & his friends grapple with the truth. No ships in particular but arguably also all ships, since Sunny has a lot of Big Feelings about his friends.

     

    ###

    Then everything is different and the same.

    The water comes out of the taps differently, in thin little lines that prick too-hard at his skin. Sunny imagines that they’re the first wave of an ongoing invasion, the stinging tendrils of a far larger hivemind. And the Hive Mother is so, so old. To her, the whole of the Glittering Harbor is just another little flicker of light. Her foot soldiers advance and the skin on Sunny’s back falls away cleanly. She yawns and the city stands empty, apartments stiff and silent like toy soldiers. She blinks a thousand onyx eyes and the harbor’s boiled dry, the skyline only dust. A city for ghosts.

    Also, the ceilings are higher. And Sunny can see the ocean from his bedroom window.

    Here’s what’s the same: The house is big and white and empty. Mom doesn’t come home. His sister is dead. Sunny is alone.

    Summary

    Sunny has been gone for two years. Sunny has never left. He haunts his hometown and it haunts him right back, frozen pale as a hospital room. His friends wander the streets and Basil wanders his dreams, and it's all exactly the same, except it's not, and it never will be again.

    Two days after Christmas, Sunny comes back to Faraway Town.

    Summary

    “Keep the similarities to a minimum, alright, Coco?” Qifrey says, timing the joking self-deprecating laugh just right, giving her a smile so she thinks nothing’s wrong.

    But she doesn't budge. She looks right back at him.

    “I do resemble you, then?”

    -

    or, Coco needs glasses, and she once again reminds her professor of himself.

    Summary

    The world outside has so much to offer. Coco has been to many places she’d never even dreamed of visiting prior to joining Qifrey’s atelier, seen sights just this morning that have already redefined beauty in her eyes, all before midday came to pass. But still, she thinks quietly, fiercely: nothing will ever compare to the familiar landscape of home.

    Coco and Qifrey and a quiet morning together, seeing the world as it wakes.
