If you don't - you should! They're called Saxlock 🌈 😏

I'm not ready for the season to end, and for the Saxlock fanfic to taper off into nothing - for people to run out of ideas. I don't wanna let go of themm. WHAT IF neither of them dies, but there's an ambiguous, even leaning towards sad ending. But then at some point, they show up in another season randomly, even just for a teeny bit, and there is HIGH KEY suggestiveness. EVEN IF THAT HAPPENS I CAN BE SATISFIED

I'm worried about the fics and the fandom as a whole too... Now, technically Saxloch doesn't have to die, cause there are *many* ships who survive despite like, the source material not featuring them or just not being around anymore... However, TWL doesn't really have much of a fandom, in the sense of inspiring fics and fanart and lots of discussion... Saxloch has become popularly completely on its own. It's kind of a miracle that we got as many fics as we have now.

So yeah, I think it might die, it certainly won't be as popular as now, but maybe we can do our best to keep it going. Running out of ideas is not a real issue in my mind, there's always more that can be done, the real issue is that people move on to other characters/ships/series/franchises.

I'm also hoping none of them die, and they go back home and we can like have it in our minds that one day they might get together!! Post-canon headcanons and fic and everything. If one of them dies I'll do a fix it anyway, I imagine many will, but it'd be so much better if we could actually imagine it happening in canon :')) and for them to really be canonically alive and well ofc lol.

I've seen people talk about them showing up in another season, and like, not impossible I guess, considering they did this with Belinda and Greg and Tanya. But I don't think we can count on it lol, it kinda feels like a distant dream... Ratliff family spinoff, too, I've seen people throw that out there lol.

The show seems to kind of teeter between comedy and seriousness, and seemed to lean more toward comedy with the brothers? I was pretty dead over Lochlan’s “death” for a moment there. Also, the fact that it wasn’t even mentioned after. Hello??! I feel like the Saxlock storyline was oversimplified/left ambiguous for people to be able to interpret it as they will. Like with Saxon tearing up over Rick and Chelsea.

I like to think the reason for that is connected to Loch, even if it is also about being jealous and aching over never having a connection like that himself.

I also assume they didn’t want to cross certain lines for tv, but that he still waned to make their story have some prominence, while being withheld, which I actually appreciate. But I agree with you. There’s no way they could forget what happened on that boat,

I was so fucking scared when Loch "died". All week I've been thinking about his fate in the final episode and I was pretty sure that he would be one of those who wouldn't survive it. And I'd really like to see Saxon's reaction to the whole blender situation! I mean what if Loch told him exactly how he got poisoned? Did Saxon feel guilty about that? God, I need this.

And yes, I agree, I don't think the screenwriters would have delved deeper into the topic of incest, so the layers of this story remain for the viewer to analyze and interpret.

I guess Saxon and Loch will continue to feel all this need, but any attempt to get closer will be fraught with shame if they don't decide to sit down and finally have a normal conversation, work it out together. As a result, they may just lose each other.
