TIM/KON! Tell me how they got together!

Well, so Kon figures when he comes back from the dead, it's time for a new start, right? Like, this is a literal second chance at life, so why not take new chances? And basically, he can't stop thinking about Tim. In ways he never thought of him before.

At first he wonders, is it creepy to start thinking of Tim this way? But then when he finds out about the cloning thing, he figures if anyone will understand a little creepiness, it's totally Tim.

And then... Kon is kinda stuck. Because it's Tim, and it's him, and how exactly does he proceed from there? At first he tries being flirty with Tim but that's a disaster because Tim doesn't even seem to notice he's flirting at all. And then he tries subtle hints, because Tim's a great detective, and he'll figure it out. But he doesn't and Kon's starting to wonder if he's being too or if Tim isn't really into him, but then he thinks about the cloning thing, and how Tim gets into his personal space a lot and then Kon wonders if he's the one missing the subtle clues.

...although the cloning thing wasn't really subtle.

Finally one night, when they're back at the Tower after a fight, and Tim's been injured, but not bad and Kon knows Tim can take care of himself and it wasn't bad during the fight, but after the fight, but after the fight, when he's looking at Tim all battered and bruised, it's a different story.

And Kon thinks, fuck subtle and all his plans go right out of his head, and he grabs Tim and kisses him. When Tim pulls away and stares at him, Kon's terrified for a moment that he made an awful mistake. But then Tim says his name all soft, Conner and he's grabbing Kon and kissing back. So, okay, subtle's not Kon's strong suit.

(sorry, my head-canon Kon is all run-on sentences :D)

...although the cloning thing wasn't really subtle.

IT REALLY WASN'T.

<3 <3 <3

Creepy, yes, subtle no. Oh, Tim. Oh, Kon.

Now you should write it as a full-on story!

Emanda & Nolan!

Emanda is a little freaked out by how much she's come to rely on and care about Nolan. It's one thing to have a partner or a teacher or an ally. But somehow Nolan became her friend and that is something she never expected - almost as unexpected as falling in love with Jack. She never would have thought that Nolan would be as loyal to her as he is, and she's surprised at how connected she feels to him - because he's the only one who really knows who she is, and understands her mission and where she's vulnerable. He's the only one who really knows Amanda, at this point. And she'd never admit it, but she' even kind of fond of the way he calls her "Ems."

Nolan loves Emanda. At first it was kind of a big brotherly thing, but now... well. Watching her in action is inspiring, and he finds himself both in awe of, and slightly turned on. He'll never act on it - Nolan's first loyalty is David Clark and to helping his daughter, and he knows how Emily feels about Jack. But she's the best friend he has in the world and he'll do anything for her.

Gambit/Rogue! How will those two crazy kids make out?

You know, I could never figure out why it was such a big deal back in the day. They'd just use one of those power-inhibitor collars and hit the sheets. :D

SUSAN.

The thing about Susan is that she's totally brilliant. There's the bit in Horse and His Boy about how she doesn't ride to the wars, but that's because she's home at Cair Paravel, defending it. She designed modifications to the shooting galleries on the castle walls, so that multiple archers could shoot from the same arrow slits, giving the effect of a rain of arrows on the attackers. Susan also is the head of all the archers in the Narnian army, in charge of training them to her standards.

And Susan is the true diplomat among her siblings - she entertains all the visiting ambassadors and heads of state, and has drawn up treaties and trade agreements and helped broker peace in various wars. That was how she met Prince Rabadash - and it wasn't that Susan was taken in by his charm and good looks, it was that she was impressed with his intelligence, and liked the way he took her seriously, and wasn't just interested in her looks. Of course, he proved himself unworthy in the end, and Susan was ever regretful of the grave mistake she had made.

SHE DESIGNS THE BATTLEMENTS.... and becomes an architect in Spare Oom?

Okay, so I have a lot of head-canon for Susan after the train crash. I feel like her life could go in so many different ways, I don't like to pin it down to just one.

But my favorite is this: She stays in England for a while after her family dies, at loose ends and mostly miserable, missing them so much. She mostly withdraws from her friends and what little family is left, and keeps to herself, working in a small bookshop in London. The proprietor of the bookshop is an elderly woman, who takes Susan under her wing, and eventually gives her what Susan will come to realize is the best advice she was ever given: "It's time to start living again, dear."

At first Susan isn't sure what to do, but finally she decides to leave it up to fate. The main thing she has to do is leave her grief-filled life behind. So she sells off most of her belongings and packs the ones she has left, and buys a one-way ticket to America. She inherited quite a bit of money after the accident, so she's not concerned with costs. And once she arrives in the US, she realizes that what she wants to do is buy a car and explore this new country. It's not like exploring in Narnia, but it's a different world and a different life, and this is how she wants to live it.

She spends years driving all over the US, exploring back roads and small towns and meeting new people, settling down for a few months when the whim hits her, and she starts to heal. She will never be over her loss (of her family, of Narnia), but she thinks now she can live with it, and keep both her family and her beloved country in her heart. One night, she dreams of Cair Paravel, standing on the balcony off the Great Hall, overlooking the sea. When she wakes, she wants to see the ocean.

So she drives west until she comes to the western edge of the US, and she stares at the Pacific, so different from the Atlantic on the east coast, and the great Eastern Ocean of Narnia. But this is where Susan feels at home, and she decides to stay.

She buys a little cottage in Santa Monica and enrolls in school at UCLA, and she loves it. It's a different life and a different world than any she ever dreamed of, but it's hers and it's all she wants. She studies architecture, and eventually becomes a faculty member at UCLA, and she remembers her friend, the bookshop owner, and she is kind to the lost souls she meets, taking them under her wing, and into her heart, and offering them gentle and wise advice.

She has many friends and lovers, although she never marries. And she stays in her cottage in Santa Monica, and walks the beach every day for the rest of her life, picking up shells and whispering secrets into them, and tossing them into the ocean, confident that the messages will find their way to the people she misses the most.
