Ooh, delighted :D Another Blindspot ask for this WIP ask game!
I'm gonna put a cut, because I don't know how to talk about after the series' ending without talking about the ending itself, and, y'know. Spoilers.

So, starting with the premise that Jane survived and Thanksgiving was not a hallucination, I figure it's a long road back for her. She has literally never not been a soldier of some sort since her parents died. Being banned from all government employment doesn't leave many legal career options for an adrenaline-junkie assassin, and that's not even mentioning all the Trauma she hasn't unpacked. I would strongly argue that both endings are tragedies, but the main reason I initially leaned toward the "obvious" tragedy read and got Very Sad was bc of how hard it is to imagine a civilian life where Jane could find contentment - even she said so herself in Times Square. (Spoiler alert: imo, that thanksgiving situation with the foster kids etc? That ain't it.)
So my epilogues (there are 4 so far) are short fics that try to offer glimpses into how I think she might start to claw her way back and find a quiet life that could stick. Ultimately I see Bee being the only kid they have at home, and her and Weller running a non-profit for at-risk kids. (P.S. - There's a framed pencil drawing of Taylor and Ian on their office wall.)
