I mentioned in the end notes of the latest chapter of “The Bonds We Choose” to expect a surprise, and here it is! Although...I actually recommend NOT reading this until I post the last chapter of TBWC in early December since it spoils Otabek and Mila’s daughter’s name and birth date. While it can be read as a standalone one-shot, it is technically a sequel to TBWC. I’ve actually been planning this for a few months to serve as an epilogue of sorts for the “It’s Complicated” series, but when the prompts for @yoispookyweek were posted and I realized that it coincidentally fit Day 6’s themes of “graveyard” and “zombies”, I decided to finish the ficlet and post it much earlier than originally intended. (Sorry, it’s really not spooky at all, though!)
Summary: Yuri says goodbye to his grandfather before he, Otabek, Mila, and their three-year-old daughter embark on a new life together in Almaty. (FF.net)
