au where everything goes horribly wrong in story and song, the ipre crew has to escape with the light of creation, and have their final stand on a deserted world where no innocents are around to be caught in the crossfire.

then, the hunger is gone for good and they don’t have the promise of an end date for moving on to the next world.

the magic users in the group spend four years trying to find a way to travel between planar systems, and then they spend the next five years after that hopping from planar system to planar system, hoping that one of these days, they’ll find the one they called home.

imagine it’s nine years after angus lost his entire family. he’s twenty now, no longer a boy, and even though carey and killian were the best guardians he could ask for, and had raised him with all the love in the world, his heart still aches for the ipre crew.

their world has moved on and rebuilt after the run-in with the hunger.

the stories about the seven heroes from the day of story and song have taken on a near-mythical status. statues of them go up in all the big cities, turning them into minor deities in their own rights.

and then, one day, angus goes in to his job at lucas’ school, and students and staff alike are all abuzz.

he hears about sightings of a brilliant silver ship, streaking through the sky the night before.

angus feels the shock reverberate through every cell in his body, feels his heart fill with hope. he wants to learn more about it, to dust off his rusty detective skills. 

but he has a job to do, and he can’t abandon it.

he stumbles his way through the first hour of classes, until a teaching assistant shows up to take over his class, letting him know that lucas wanted him in his office.

angus goes, heart in his throat and wondering what the headmaster wants with him.

when he walks through the door, lucas looks up at him with tear-filled eyes and a brilliant smile on his face.

he holds out a stone of farspeech in angus’ direction.

confused, angus takes the stone from him.

“hello?” he asks, unsure. 

the reply comes immediately in a voice that sounds close to tears, one he’d been waiting a decade to hear again.

“what’s shakin’, pumpkin?”

Where do you stand on headcanon for how the Starblaster Crew felt about each other by the end? I'm personally in the camp of "five crazy kids and their two tired dad's who may or may not be together".

Headcanons for the starblaster crew post story and song? heck yeah!

reaper trio, taako, and ango mcdango all live together in the same house with taakitz as angus’ legal guardians for like, permission slip reasons but they all parent him equally

miss me with this whole bullshit of all of them doing their own thing and only seeing each other once in a while. they may all live in completely different corners of the world, but having reapers in their familiy to rift them to wherever they need is a perk they absolutely take advantage of at every opportunity!!! they obviously spend all the big holidays together, but they also are just at each other’s houses constantly. magnus has dinner at the casa de la taakitz and blupjeans every three days or so, angus sleeps over at raven’s roost every other weekend and spends his summer break with merle and his kids and sometimes goes on sea voyages with cap’nport!!!

lucretia and magnus as platonic life partners is my jam, i love it so much!!! love the idea of her retiring to raven’s roost and spending her days with the dogs and just being happy. she deserves all the happiness in the world!!!!

shortly after story and song, davenport disappears to sea for a year or two because he needs some time away from lucretia. he needs to come to terms with what’s happened to him and he needs time to get used to being himself again. he’s angry at her at first, just so fucking angry at what she did to him. but he’s always been a very practical man, and after thinking it through, he finds he has it in him to forgive her. he thinks back to how tirelessly she had taken care of him, how she had given him all the respect he had deserved. he remembers how she had only ever kept up the “butler” act when absolutely necessary, remembers how attentive she had been to what he needed and had given him everything he needed. it starts off slow, but within a few years their relationship is stronger than ever. after that first voyage, his trips are a lot shorter, and he makes sure to visit as frequently as possible. he’s always over for holidays and when he does finally retire as a sailor, he finds a nice little home in raven’s roost near magnus and lucretia.

taako takes a lot longer than davenport to forgive lucretia. he never really does get over the betrayal, but at the end of the day, she’s his family, and he misses her desperately. he’s so tired of being so cold to her, he’s tired of holding onto the anger, he’s tired of seeing her just quietly accepting his attitude, so completely unlike the firey and rambunctious lucey he had come to adore like a little sister. and in the end, what helps him finally let go of his decade of loneliness without his heart is when he accepts lucretia back into his life. he never does fully trust her again, is never able to shake the coolness he feels towards her that’s not there with any of the others, but he is able to ignore it. he is able to hug her and laugh with her and treat her with the gentleness she deserves. because maybe he doesn’t agree with what she did, but he does know that she did what she thought was right, and he’s okay with that. he can deal with that.
