How about an "everybody lives" verse (where everything ended and the guys got to retire to Hawaii with Grif and Sister after Chorus and oh hey the Freelancers are all alive somehow and all themselves again and the AI able to be saved somehow-- because LBR they all deserve to be happy okay)?
Grif and Simmons live in Hawaii together and swim all the time (even if it messes with Simmons’s parts) and live a very leisurely and modest life and they’re in LOVE and HAPPY
Grif and Simmons are the ones who stay the most by themselves, as they’ve always been kinda....involved and somewhat codependent? They’re happy with just the two of them, but they skype with sarge all the time (well, Simmons does) and get visits from friends (Tucker abuses their couch every time he can and Grif just lets it happen) and Carolina is actually a regular
Sister lives there too but she has her own life, although she shows up uninvited all the time and bothers them a lot and drinks all their booze and eats all their food.......but she ALSO gets them so socialize! Symbiotic relationship!!
Okay so in this AU......Tucker and Wash might not be together bc lbr they got some shit to work out......but they are VERY close and might even live together. Wash, Caboose and Tucker might all live together in a somewhat lavish apartment somewhere and they kinda just keep their dynamic going??
The Freelancers are totes alive and they track Wash down and it ends with him on the ground having half a heart attack while Tucker threatens everyone with his sword that he still has and Caboose shoots South in the leg on “”accident””
I don’t know how everyone manages to be alive and well without resorting to my TTTAU but.....ill try not to get hung up on the deets
Either Maine and Wash end up together, or Wash and Connie.
York and Carolina reunite and they’re still in love and it takes them 7 years to work everything out anyway
Donut and Doc have a farm
