Jack was so upset about the sponge

[embraceyourdestiny]

Jack and Timothy’s confrontation on the battlefield is one of the most heartbreaking things ever. “You realize with heartbreak that as you disengage from Jack’s attack, this is the first time he wouldn’t have struck you” FUCKKKKKK💔💔💔💔💔💔😫😫😫

A little imaginary take on how I’d hoped Neverafter would end (ie I really wanted a happy/bittersweet ending and I’m totally not going to get that so now I can only write fix-it drabbles)

Timothy uses his last wish in the final fight. maybe to release the ink, maybe to wish away the Gander, idk. and when he died after his final wish and the battle comes to an end and the times of shadow dissipate, Gerard becomes a psudo-father/caregiver for Pinocchio and Ylfa with his “cousin” Rosamund (who is honestly young and naive enough that she needs a caregiver too). and from then on they live a quiet life in the countryside, neighboring a widowed Henry and his son Jack, who is being helped along in life by Pib. maybe they build a big garden, to fill the countryside with life after all the death. they can build little memorials for Tim and Ylfa’s grandmother and the Big Bad Wolf. and maybe Pinocchio take the time to actually learn how to play the golden harp, soft music filtering from their house and down the streets.

Or maybe they all move to Amanti to be with a weary Gepetto and make a living running a small shop where travelers can drop off magical items or get advice on quests. They bring Henry and Jack along to build a new life, a fresh start just like Tim fought for. Geppetto and Pinocchio start to fix their relationship and invite Rosamund to learn the art of woodcarving and Gerard to learn painting. Ylfa finds herself adept at finding lost pets or livestock or even sometimes children who have strayed too far from home. Pib pulls the “stuck in a well” trick at least once a year.

Or maybe I’m wrong all the way around and they all go into Tim’s book for their happily ever after and live their lives as ink on a page forever.

Idk, something-something even horror stories can have bittersweet happy endings.

Brennan just gets me.

Tim, who lost his son and desperately grasped at his memory of Jack while staring at his bones, who was left only with a glimpse of his boy as a small child dancing over a candle.

Jack springing out a golden specter, and guiding and encouraging his father in the dark.
