#meanwhile their counterparts still have not recovered from seeing their AU selves holding hands without even TRYING to kill each other

Here’s a fun thought: what if instead of being more or less a timeloop kind of situation, the healers could interact with their counterparts from different routes via Theater Shenanigans post-canon. 

The possibilities range from the tragic (Artemy from Clara’s route realizing that there were possibilities where all his childhood friends didn’t have to die, Diurnal Ending Dankovsky getting to hear direct from Nocturnal Ending Dankovsky what happens to him if the Polyhedron stays up) to the hilarious (a Bachelor and Haruspex from the Changeling route where they’re in “we’re actively trying to murder each other, it is admittedly a little sexy for both of us BUT I STILL WANT TO KILL HIM BECAUSE HE’S THE WORST” territory meeting their alternate selves from, say, a Haruspex route Diurnal ending, who are dating).
