epilogue: and they lived happily ever after


Ten minutes before the interview concludes, David is interrupted by a phone call. In a move that should be unprofessional but is instead strangely endearing, he promises me ten additional minutes of his time before excusing himself to take the call.

He's smiling when he returns, and apologizes for holding us up.

"Dinner plans?" I ask, trying to sound casual.

I clearly fail, because David refuses to elaborate further, apart from shooting me a sly grin and saying, "Something like that."

We finish the interview amicably. David has plenty of anecdotes to share from the time he's spent on tour, and with his family. He remains notoriously tight-lipped about his relationship, only saying, "He's great. Some days I wish we were out, so we could do things together, like see a movie, or go out for dinner. But it's, uh, it's a trade-off, I guess, and so far we've had a really good run."

All too soon, my time is up.

Judging from the fact that David's first priority, once he's thanked me, is to sneak into the men's room with his cell phone, I'm going to say that "a really good run" is probably a vast understatement.

I may not know who the lucky leading man is, but I'm pretty sure this romance ends with castles, horses and riding off into the sunset.

Aaaaaaaaah, oh my gosh, so I totally was going to promise myself this as a reward after my exam tomorrow but I couldn't wait, oh my gosh. I think you broke my heart and put it all back together again, this is so beautiful. I love all the different universes and the way they all work (and the actual twitter accounts, omg) and just -- I may leave you a more coherent comment later? But this is amazing ♥

[epicflailer.livejournal.com]

oh my gosh, FIRST COMMENT ON THE END AND IT WAS FROM YOU. i don't even think you know how flattered i was/am! (ALSO I HOPE YOUR EXAM WENT WELL, I AM SORRY I WAS A DISTRACTION!)

i'm so, so glad you enjoyed this, bb. thank you so much for taking the time to let me know, even with the big exam looming! ♥

[hopefulgenius.livejournal.com]

oh my god.

[hopefulgenius.livejournal.com]

oh my god, natalie, i can't even -- i'm trembling over here, and i

you know i love all of it, right? the parts i've already read before, the asia tour and the daughter one, you know that i love it and even the ones i hadn't read, the one with the fighting, oh jesus christ that nearly killed me and i was already close to tears when i was done with it, and then you went into the last one and

oh god, natalie, i can't even tell you how hard i was crying but i just kept blinking through it because i had to keep reading and finding out more and all of the little things, the moments between them and how they met and everything, it was so perfect and beautiful and just -- right. everything was right and i want that so badly, i want it, and you -- just, you. you're so amazing, and this is so beautiful, all of it.

i love you. i really, really do.

[al-hazel.livejournal.com]

I adore all the AUs, how the Davids are together in every single one of them, no matter how different they are.

This is such a brilliant story, and I love all the AI alum that you wrote in as supporting characters. This is like my dream come true, getting to see their relationship explored in so many different ways.

I love this so much. Thank you!

♥♥

[epicflailer.livejournal.com]

[japanimecrazed.livejournal.com]

This is awesome. I'm amazed that all the scenarios are so different but all the Davids are themselves. Also, the pictures were totally cool.

-squeals-

It is just so gosh darn LOVELY that you managed to capture these two in different lifetimes, but still nailed who they were and still managed to weave their very different lives together.

I just, gosh, I loved every single one of them. The way you wrote Cook, the way you wrote Archie, the....EVERYTHING! Guh.

In fact, I will probably spend the rest of today, tomorrow, and who knows maybe all of next week, grinning from ear to ear because of all of the Cookleta love that was in these, and the fact that they were all done so perfectly.

[epicflailer.livejournal.com]

oh my gosh, that's such a lovely thing to hear! hee! thank you so much for reading, and for all the awesome feedback. i'm just glad you've enjoyed this as much as you have!

[littlebuttercup.livejournal.com]

Oh my God, Nat, that was probably the greatest fic I've ever read. Greatest five fic? I don't know. It was wonderful and beautifully written, and each one inspired such different emotions (the last two nearly brought me to tears for two completely different reasons, it was wonderful) and I love love love that both Davids are subtly (or not so) different, because their past and experiences have shaped them a little differently.

It was just beautifully breathtaking and I'm so happy you decided to post it.

lsfjdsdjsg jennaaaaaaaaaaaa~

i am so glad you liked it! thank you for sticking with it all the way through and for the lovely fb. i don't know if i would have posted if it hadn't been for all of you and your awesomeness. ♥ ♥ ♥

[mutinous.livejournal.com]

i'm a huge fan of aus, so seeing this posted made my day. i loved all your universes, and how the boys were different in each yet still the same at heart. the way you presented this was really clever and lovely, thanks for sharing it with us.

[epicflailer.livejournal.com]

i really love aus myself, so this was a lot of fun to write -- thank you so much for the feedback, and for sticking the whole ride out with me! :)

[fallenangels607.livejournal.com]

there is -- there is genuinely not a cookleta fic that i love more than this one. i had to leave the computer after i read this, because i didn't wanna give feedback that consisted of nothing but "sdlfkdsjkfjdlfkj OMG OMG OMG NAT" (although i will probably squeeze some of that in here anyway!).

prologue - i cannot even DESCRIBE to you how spot-on your cook voice is. like, i ENVY you for being able to write him like that. "We're just, uh, we're in a good place right now, you know? I don't want to jinx it." i can IMAGINE him saying this, and not just the words, but the expression he'd have when he said it, the lopsided smirk and everything. even from reading just the prologue, i was like, "yeah, i need to clear all my plans for today and read this fic repeatedly."

i. - i was honestly sort of confused at the beginning of this one. it was a situation where i was like, "um, i'm not exactly sure what's going on, but i like it, so i'm gonna keep reading it!", and once it hit me, i was like OH MY GOD THAT IS UNREAL, and went back to re-read it from the beginning. i was so SAD when this one ended, because i just -- Archie stares at it some more, throat working, mouth moving, soundlessly, and when David reaches for him again, he chokes out, "I didn't forget.", <333333

ii. - i don't even...i don't even UNDERSTAND how anyone could possibly be this clever with a fic, with the pictures and the captions and ALMOST AN ENTIRE CHAPTER IN TWITTER CONVERSATIONS, WHAT. and your closing lines just SLAY ME everytime, JESUS.

iii. - there is absolutely nothing that kills me more than the idea of david cook having a little girl. ask anyone! especially meg, who i made write me daddy!cook fic, because it just -- it is DAVID COOK with a LITTLE GIRL and if i can't have it in real life yet, having it in fic just makes my heart swell and my eyes tear up and i literally just sat here and squealed and clutched my heart and died. and, jfc, ARCHIE AS A KINDERGARTEN TEACHER, yes, it's so perfect, and just. i honestly had to put cookleta on the back burner for this chapter, just so i could fully wrap my mind around cook and his daughter. i can't even, just. i could quote so many parts at you and explain how they made my heart flutter, but. that'd just be annoying, i think. in conclusion: ♥_♥ x 34093804938498294803294

(starting a second comment, 'cause this is getting long as hell. and apologies for the faily html in the original comment. oops!)

[fallenangels607.livejournal.com]

iv. - this chapter was so perfect, in the sense that it actually made me UNCOMFORTABLE, as the reader. but i realized after a while, that that was the purpose! i felt like i was intruding on something the whole way through, like i shouldn't have been allowed to witness this struggle between david and david. even the scorching parts made me feel like i shouldn't have been reading, just because, jfc, the angst was so PALPABLE, jesus it was amazing.

v. - i don't even -- i don't even know what to SAY, just. archie and cook signing, and all of archie's signing STILL being in his voice, and the idols reuniting and the proposal and christ, i was so emotional over this one that after i finished the entire thing, i just wanted to stay in that world with them forever and never read the epilogue. my heart, nat. my heart.

epilogue - In a move that should be unprofessional but is instead strangely endearing, he promises me ten additional minutes of his time before excusing himself to take the call. - god, that is so cook, to make everyone fall in love with him even when he's doing something that would seem douchey coming from other celebrities. once again, your cook voice is fucking perfect, and i cannot even comprehend how well this entire thing was written.

i just, i want to make it a routine in my day to read this AT LEAST ONCE for the rest of my days on earth just because it is so beautiful and heart-wrenchingly terrific, and every single story was stand-alone but the entire work came together cohesively and, i just don't even know what to say except for thank you, thank you for writing this and sharing it and pushing through it even when things seemed insurmountable, and just, <33333

[theroseparfait.livejournal.com]

Wow. Just wow. I left you a comment the other day anticipating this, and this was like, ten times better than anything I imagined. Some of these AUs are the best plots ever, and your writing style is just amazing. Are you planning on trying to get published? Your work is brilliant.

[epicflailer.livejournal.com]

oh my gosh, wow, thank you, i'm pretty sure i just sat here gaping at my laptop for the longest time. that is such an amazing compliment, thank you! i don't have any plans at the moment, but it's definitely something i've been thinking about for a long time; if an opportunity presents itself at the right time, i'll be all set. ;)

again, thank you so much for reading this, and for the lovely feedback!

[epicflailer.livejournal.com]

hee! thank you so much!

So, fallenangels607 suggested I just send our conversation to you as a comment, because I honestly can't be any more eloquent right now, omh.

[mellowdee.livejournal.com]

I wish I had read this slower!! TO SAVOR IT. BECAUSE OMG. IT WAS SO FANTASTIC. SO PERFECT. EACH STORY, EACH FREAKING STORY!!

I...I don't even know which one my favorite is, but I'm pretty sure that last one pretty much killed me. It was just so gorgeous. SO GORGEOUS.

I don't even have proper words to express how wonderful this truly was and how much I loved it. It was absolutely brilliant.

[epicflailer.livejournal.com]

oh my gosh, thank you so much! i'm just thrilled that you enjoyed it, really, and i have such a soft spot for that au that, even though it shouldn't, hearing that that was a favourite makes me all smiley and happy! so thank you, again! <3

[irishdf]

Nat, my dear,

You're brilliant, do you know that?!? These were all so good, and just exemplify that eternal push and pull between Cook and Archie. I enjoyed the first three a great deal. Especially Archie as a kindergarten teacher. I could totally see that. And he's so great with kids. And that moment when they finally meet, and they're all sort of stunned, and like "Hi...", and the blushing and stuff. Yeah, that's the good stuff.

I had a really hard time with the fourth one. You totally did your job portraying a relationship in crisis, but man, Cook was just such an asshole in that one. I didn't even care that he was suffering, and being stubborn, because he was causing so much of it himself. Even if he felt conflicted over whether they should be together, or not, what with the gap between their ages, and the ethics of professor/student dynamics, he was still behaving *appallingly*. So you did your job there, and showed how even when he wanted to walk away, he couldn't fight the overwhelming attraction he felt for Archie. It was a real power-house, but it made my stomach-muscles clench, so I was ready for some love, and happy times.

And you delivered. And #5 just illustrated how, even though they have a mutual love for music, what really seems to pull them together, as friends, is beyond that. Cook is constantly referring, in interviews, to the fact that Archie is one of the most genuine people he knows, and how he's such a good person. I think that there are so many qualities that they each admire about the other, that even if you take music out of the equation, they would still find one another, and still share their love of music in an indirect way. Take away Archie's hearing and you still have the humour, and affection, and understanding that you have in this world. And Cook was his usual magnificent self, and I adored him so much here. And the fact that it united the BoUH, and both families, was a winner. This made me cry tears of joy, it affected me so. And Cook does so love his grand gestures, doesn't he?? Love them both sooooooooooo much. And you. Hee.

Job well done, BB. I'm just about to fall asleep at the keyboard here, so I hope that the above comment makes *some kind of sense*. Just know that I loved them all, and this is something that I'll have to come back to, again and again. So good night, and bon voyage. Safe journey on your travels. I hope that you see many wonderful things. I can't wait to hear all about it. Many thanks for posting before leaving. It really is much appreciated. Good night now. :)

[epicflailer.livejournal.com]

oh my gosh, dee. thank you so much for this! i don't even know where to begin! i'm so glad the stories made you react - that was such an important thing for me here, i think, because the writin process was so emotional, and i'm glad that seems to have translated into the fic itself, especially with the fourth and fifth aus.

thank you so much again, my dear, especially for staying up to type this out despite the exhaustion! <33333333333

[incoherenteye.livejournal.com]

omg. this was so amazing and i don't really know how to express it. i went through so many different emotions oh. man. brilliant.

[epicflailer.livejournal.com]

thank you so much!

[clover71.livejournal.com]

hello? mike test? uhm... is this where i flail over every single part of this awesomely incredibly remarkably written story/stories and where do i even begin?

the prologue... ah that got my eyes stuck on the screen even when i have to get some sleep because i'll be going back to work in a few hours but no... i had to read and will have to rely on red bull later....

I - oh man..i'd have to be honest, me being slow had kinda made me o_O at the beginning and was already hinting on archie being either invisible or a ghost and there you go...he was a ghost and my gosh my heart was bleeding at the part when archie had gone missing for weeks and my heart nearly leaped out of my chest when cook opened the door to see archie there...oh gosh this is absolutely beautiful.

II - oh...oh... i'm so moved by this. the tweeter was a brilliant idea. and thank you for taking me on a personally guided asian tour. i probably saved lots of money, seeing asia from the comfort of my own computer chair. lol. but this was totally moving. so romantic.

III - my heart melted into a pile of unrecognizable substance (nevermind, ignore that) at this one. cook as a daddy just steals my heart away and oh my i like to hug them both. the connection archie and cook had just through phone calls was amazingly explored.

IV - denial never protects you from the heartache cook! this was remarkably written. i could so see the scenes play before me. a professor and his student. professor tries so hard to put up a wall regardless of how he feels and the student who bears the treatment and finally caves in. oh..my heart...my heart.

V - i've left comments for this already...

and here is where i make my exit. thank you so much for sharing this. with all the things that's happening to me lately, a touch of fairy tale is all i needed to bring the smile back into my heart. may we all live happily ever after.

[epicflailer.livejournal.com]

oh, chris, i'm so glad you liked this, especially, like you said, after everything that's been going on. *hugs you* <3333333 thank you so much for reading it, and for leaving such lovely feedback!
