thinking about writing a little something in the original universe about abeke's adult life where she continues to deal with her grief over shane, who really did die in the burning tide. jumping around to different time periods: she's the new face of greencloak leadership, she's married (but her husband notably doesn't make an appearance), she has a daughter. her life is a dream. but with each of these milestones, she is reminded of shane. the person she might have had this life with if things had been different.

i don't usually like to delve into canon past the return because thinking about shane's death makes me feel sick to my stomach. but this is too good and beautiful and tragic of an idea to pass up.

#abeke might marry worthy in this bc i think that would be very interesting -#- how she might project her unresolved feelings for shane onto someone very much like him.#but i think more likely her husband will not be named. could be someone we know or just a random guy she met later on #a lot of this story would be up to interpretation #and yeah she's still depressed #and yeah she hasn't fully healed from all the trauma she went through as a child #so that manifests itself #it would then end with an elderly abeke on the brink of death being greeted at last by shane's spirit #blue-eyed and unmarred by crocodile scales #just the way she always remembered him #it would be something very bittersweet #the ideas i'm having are telling me i'd have a hard time writing this bc i'd just be bawling my eyes out the whole time #text #original erdas #spirit animals #spirit animals books #spirit animals series #abeke #shane #worthy
