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.

ASDFGHGKLGW WE ARE AT AN END. :///// Woman, I seriously don't know what you were going on about with all your loathing for this story, it's such a good read. All these different scenarios you put them in, and they worked and clicked together in every single one. I've always loved the way you play with your universes, everything always comes across like you've been there and done that yourself. (ARE YOU A TATTOO ARTIST IN DISGUISE, NAT?)

Siiiiiigh, and just, this was wonderful, no matter what fandom you're in, because you clearly adore these guys and it shines through so much. I don't see a lot of your writing these days, so whenever I do I'm always struck by how good you are, and how amazing you are with your characters and their chemistry. That's my favorite thing in writing (lmao um, I think you know this) and you have that in abundance. I hope you know that you've always been one of my favorites, and still are. And NO WONDER you needed a rest after this one, askdfjhdfghjk, SO MUCH storybuilding. YOU ARE AMAZINGCAKES, DID I MENTION THAT?
