Y'all, I hate to say it, but no, Nandermo did not "go canon", in an "alternate universe" or through "implications" or otherwise. They were making fun of us. That was the point of all the little nudges and open questions that were quickly squashed. That was the point of the hypnosis ending. The point of that hypnosis was quite literally "Here, let's give the perfect fake wish-fulfillment ending to parts of our fanbase" (which is why there were three. They're fake. That's the point. The point is that they are supposed to be fantasies to appeal to people's hopes for the show).

Having Nandor and Guillermo as a classic sitcom couple set to a laugh track in a universe where none of the other characters exist was a jab at shippers who wanted Nandermo to be canon and cared more about that than the other characters or the premise of the show. They were making fun of "and they lived happily ever after" type fanwork. They were making fun of people who, in their eyes, ignored the irreverence and violence and black comedy of the show in order to make fluffy slash content. They were explicitly saying: "This is how we see you, and this is how we see what you want from this show, and we are telling you that it won't happen and we in fact have contempt for the very concept."

Why do you think they kept baiting the ship until the literal last lines of the show? They were making fun of us. They were saying "Ha! You still thought this would happen? After years of us saying it won't, to your face? Idiots." It's a comedy show, and they were making shippers the butt of the joke. They've been doing it for seasons now.

This is literally what Supernatural did back in the day. And nobody said that they made Destiel canon when they had an in-universe/alternate-universe stage play where the actors "explore Destiel". Fans back then recognized that it was a joke at their expense. That's what this is. Same as what happened in BBC Sherlock that one time, where in-universe conspiracy theorists said that Sherlock was in love with Moriarty (a ship the creators deliberately baited, mind you, same as they have here), specifically for the purpose of laughing at and making fun of that theory.

I'm so sorry, guys. I know you wanted to hope. I know you wanted to believe that the things the writers said at that con weren't true, but they were. I know because I wanted to hope too, even when I knew full well it wouldn't happen. They've been plain about how they feel about the ship for years. They saw it as a joke, one that drew in viewers, but was objectionable at its core. And they've followed through on that by baiting and jabbing up until the very end.

every day i think about elle and morgan going on vacation together and at least morgan wanting reid to come with. what were their intentions. were they bisexual in nature. also im also almost certain that this is the first time morgan calls reid "pretty boy" and it's while he's inviting him on vacation with him. it's 2005/2006 you cannot be this bisexual at your government job.

bonus:

yeah i think elle also wanted him to join them.

I seriously wonder what Xaden said in order to convince his friends to help him haul an entire armoire into the bedroom of his ��enemy,” all because him and said “enemy” were going at each other so hard she made the furniture explode.

the most t4t couple (they make me shed tears from time to time)

ok but Dr Garak and his holo-husband accidentally ending up in a universe where Julian is still on DS9 post canon, and still has a lot of lingering imposter angst/identity issues. Or they get popped out of the fissure and get picked up by the Defiant post s5. Just, the angst potential (he married holo me?? the hologram is good enough? But not? Me?) is unreal. They have given us a GIFT

This is SO GOOD and I'm so sorry for letting it languish in my inbox for the last month!

Oh man, you're absolutely right! If Julian wasn't with Garak yet - or maybe even, they had been together in earlier seasons, but the s5/6 drift has happened and Julian thinks that's it, Garak's done with him - he'd have such a hard time for sure knowing that it did happen in an alternate universe, but not even with au him, with au holo-him... omg, a gift indeed!

And especially if [Garaholoshir? Fissure!Garashir?] do that boasting thing about how unlikely it is and Julian's like "yep, they're not wrong, the odds of there being two Garak+me relationships in one universe are basically impossible and who am I to compete with a holo!version of me with all my flaws taken out anyway...?"

On the other hand, it could go the complete opposite direction with Garak and Julian suddenly having a kick up the bum to realise that yes, they could ahve a relationship, and what's more, the alternate versions of themselves are insufferable and therefore they both get overly competitive to have a "better" relationship than their counterparts 😅 Which could only go well...
