Time is a continuum of inevitability. It always wins in the end.
endless summer broke my heart (once again)
the mc’s farewell voicemail in the vaanu ending and the Endless speaking to the stars about each one of their friends before fading away are two sides of the same heart wrenching soul crushing coin and yall can’t change my mind
Whenever you feel alone or perhaps feeling sad...
Look up to the stars my friends... To the stars...
Where I would always be...
I’m on an angst train so why not kick it off with one scene that was quite heartbreaking. Inspired by the song To The Stars from the movie Dragonheart (old movie I know)
Confession: I haven’t played choices for some time because the books that I wanted to read hasn’t been fully released. So, me being me, I’m gonna wait until it’s fully released.
My Promise (Jake x MC)
A/N: So this idea just popped into my head the other day, and I’m sorry in advance. This is an AU that takes place after the battle on the Celestial roof. Stay tuned for the sequel!
Warnings: Angsty af

Taylor stood on the rooftop of the Celestial, time frozen around her, all of her friends locked in place, completely unaware of what was happening. Taylor wasn’t even really sure what was happening until she saw Vaanu floating in front of her, the omnipresent transparent spirit sent a chill down her spine, she had the feeling that something terrible was about to happen. She could feel Vaanu staring at her, neither of them speaking, she wandered amongst her friends, making sure to memorize each and every one of them.
Zahra’s dark red stripe of hair now grown out, the shaved side beginning to grow back into place creating a kind of fuzzy look, Craig keeping a close eye on her, his brown eyes revealing the teddy bear he was inside, the love he felt for her boiling over.
Sean, the fierce protector of them all, his hazel eyes trying to hide the concern as he desperately searched for a way to stop Rourke from completing his plan.
Quinn, the bubbly red-head who had come into her own on the trip, and who had saved them more than once, even if it could cost her, her life, the selfless queen.
She even appreciated Aleister who was there, despite all the terrible things his father had done to him, and temporarily siding with him, back to protect his new family, the ones who truly appreciated him.
Grace, sweet timid Grace with her bouncy girls and big brown eyes shielded from the world behind her glasses, the girl who finally stood up for what she wanted and found an unexpected love along the way.
Raj, the secret stoner genius, the prodigy who had brought them all together when everyone else thought it was impossible, even Taylor, the one who made sure that she and Jake had the best wedding they possibly could.
Diego, her best friend, the only reason she was even here was because of him because he had willed her into existence as if he knew somehow, they all needed Taylor for different reasons. Her best friend who had finally found love, the only thing he had ever really wanted for in this life.
Estela, the girl who had come on a mission of vengeance, only to find that there was more to life than revenge and that she could be happy without it.
Michelle, the beautiful pre-med who had been hardened by the experience with her so-called friends, who’d finally opened her heart to Taylor and become one of her best friends, they had all become her best friends, her family, especially Jake.
Oh, Jake. Taylor stopped in front of him, gently tracing her fingertips down his chiseled jaw, running them through his sandy blonde hair, down his misleadingly strong biceps to his rough, calloused hands that held her every night, kept her safe and warm, the only place she could forget about the rest of the world and be present in the moment. She intertwined her fingers with his, sighing when they didn’t entangle themselves with hers, letting go she wrapped her arms around his waist and pressed her head against his chest, listening to his steady heartbeat. It was a sound she had fallen asleep to so many times now, her own personal lullaby, and she knew her heartbeat matched his, perfectly timed. Cupping his face with hands, she looked into his cerulean blue eyes, the ones she had been avoiding, she could see the fear in them as he was reaching out for her, she never wanted to see that look in his eyes, and she most certainly never wanted to be the reason for it, he’d just lost the last person he had left beside her, his best friend.
It’s been two weeks since Endless Summer ended. Here’s some drawing to commemorate our eternal loss and pain… MC’s recording in the Vaanu ending.
Hey… it’s Taylor. I hope you get this.
And I hope you can forgive me for going on one last adventure alone.
This is what I was meant to do. You might say it’s why I was born. I’ve realized something that I think I must’ve known all along. There’s a reason you can’t quite remember me from before La Huerta. And why I have trouble talking about parents or school. The truth is… I’m not who you think I am. I’m me. I’m Taylor. But I exist because Vaanu, and all of you, willed me into being.
Jake, I promised you a year and a day, and I’m sorry I won’t be able to fulfill that vow. Part of me will be with you always. And you I take with me, wherever I’m headed next. It’s because of you that I’m able to face this decision. The strength and the confidence you taught me… You gave me a lifetime worth of love in a few, short weeks.
Zahra and Craig, on an island where nothing was what it seemed, your perspective grounded me. You never took anything at face value, and you taught me that the truth can sometimes be complicated.
Raj, thank you for your big heart. You never took any credit for being the one person holding the group together, but I saw what you did. You made us more than a group of friends. You made us a family.
Grace and Aleister, I’ve learned that sometimes, when trying to get from one place to another, you can end up somewhere unexpected. You shouldn’t give up hope. You’ll find a way if you keep moving. In the meantime, savor every moment right where you are. Chances are, you won’t be back.
Sean, you showed me what a true leader is. Compassion is strength. Selflessness is bravery. You made us all better just by knowing you.
Diego, what would we have done without each other? No one makes me laugh the way you do. You were the missing piece that completed my heart, and I carry you with me always.
Michelle, I have no doubt you’re going to get what you want out of life, and you deserve everything.
And Quinn, more than any of us, you know what it is to fight for something with every fiber of your being. You weren’t willing to give up on a better tomorrow, so neither could we. Whenever things felt bleak, the power of your hope was a beacon, reminding us to look toward the future with optimism.
Estela, you’re a force of nature. Your unbridled fury can level mountains, evening out the landscape for all who reside within it. You taught me how to be fair, how to be true, and how to be just.
I didn’t get very much time with all of you, but our memories will last forever, I can promise you that.
Although our summer is over, another will come soon.
When it does, imagine me there with you… spending our days on the beach… watching every sunset melt into the sea… and gazing at stars that fill our hearts with wonder… Because with you is exactly where I will be.
