Sometimes i think about young Julian and Emma being separated after the Dark War, Emma going off to the Academy and Julian staying with his siblings in LA. Emma is still collecting information and working to find out who killed her parents. They both still write to each other and Julian is Julian when he writes to Emma and she has no reason to think he has changed until Emma and her best friend Cristina come to the LA institute for travel year and she senses something very very wrong with Julian and strive to figure out what it is. Emma being genuinely afraid of Julian, who is now hardened and ruthless except with his family. Emma having to regain his and the Blackthorns' trust. Secrets. Angst. man WE COULD HAVE HAD IT ALL.
