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.

So. I stumbled(when I should have been running full tilt!) across this via i_refuse_to and her rec list at oh_my_recs and all I can do is quote one of Archie's texts.

!!!!!

This fic was like what the fairytales /should/ be like, in fact, from now on, forget the Disney princesses, Cook & Archie are forever and ever the hero and the damsel and the cheesy theme song and the important life lesson and EVERYTHING ELSE EVER.

I love how all the AUs put them through different times, jobs, places, what-have-you but they were always Cook and Archie. It wasn't two guys who vaguely resemble them in fun(and not so fun, ahh, the professor one! that is the soundtrack to my heart breaking omgsh) alternate universes. Archie was Archie and Cook was Cook and if I knew the special coding or whatever to make those hearts I would but unfortunately you'll have to settle for
