I haven't watched the episode yet - just been vaguely spoiled for it -- but I had to read your story, which is just as beautiful and bittersweet as I thought it would be, anyway.

[vail_kagami]

Thank you very much!
I miss seeing your stuff around - you're one of the best authors I've ever come across, not only on the internet.
You're in China, aren't you? I hope things are going well for you!

Came back a few months ago. :-) In time to rejoin my partners so we could all be uprooted by an evil landlord. Oh well. We have a place to live, it's just kinda small. :P

[vail_kagami]

Don't worry - the evil landlord never wins!

...In fiction.

What a wonderful surprise after a long day at work!

First, the dedication! I'm flattered and honored that you'd dedicate this beautiful piece to me. You know how much I love Tosh and Owen. And yeah, you really know my love for Owen.

The world fades slowly. This time Owen isn’t shouting, isn’t angry and scared, and Tosh isn’t crying as the light comes.

They hold hands.

What a beautiful yet heart breaking scene. Still, it gives these magnificent characters peace that they deserve. Thank you for writing this. This is something that anyone who was affected by Exit Wounds needs to read.

Thank you!
I'm not exactly sure where the idea came from but I thing they deserved a little happy ending.
And knowing you work hard I thought perhaps you need one as well.

Random *pokes*...

Because I can. :D

A perfectly happy ending just isn't in for them. But a little more happy than canon was what I was aiming for.
Glad you like it.

What a lovely, bittersweet story. Not exactly an happy ending but still much better than they got on the show. But happy endings just wouldn't work for these two.

You've made me miss Owen all over again. :( (And Tosh, to a lesser extent, since I thought she got better closure than Owen.) Anyway... TT__TT I wish it happened. Love it.

[vail_kagami]

Thank you very much!
I'm not exactly always a fan of happy endings, but in this case I thought the two of them deserved better than wjat they've got.
At least they deserved a date.
