ernst my husband ends up finding someone via his conservation efforts who also happens to work at the zoological society. When he initially brings him over for the annual Christmas dinner (which yes, includes klopp, bauer and hoffman) Only Alek seems to be out of the loop about their relationship...everybody else just kinda guessed
This mans name maybe or may not be Gabriel shush u face don't judge me
Deryn gets to be super good friends with Barlow's two kids, and she eventually becomes like another kid to Barlow
Alek is a huge dork and needs glasses
Deryn refuses to have children with Alek upon seeing Carlos the second of Spain in his family tree
Alek tries to prove to Deryn that he's very very very distantly related to him
"Deryn, please, we're not even from the same branches! I'm holy roman empire!"
Lillit marries Jaspert bc cliches are so important to the nature of everything good in the universe
The Leviathan relands in London about two years later, most of the in-series crew still serving on it in addition to Fitzroy. They decide to look up Alek and Dylan to see how they're fairing
Long story short they walk in on a very steamy shirtless/almost pantless makeout session on Barlow's desk
the incident ends in Barlow getting a new desk and Deryn/Dylan being outed
