Chapter Text
First of all, I wanted to thank everyone who followed along with this story. The comments and kudos and seeing the stats rise was especially motivating to getting this story complete.
To those who arrive later on and missed all the waiting on updates in between, I’m still just as thankful and hope you enjoyed the read.
I have to admit, 170k+ words and about 330-ish pages worth of documents were a lot more than I ever anticipated for this fic but I’m glad I did it and I look forward to carrying on. That brings me to the discussion of Part 2!
First, I’ve already begun writing it and have a few chapters lined up. I’m going to try and give a more scheduled update this time around especially as – and I know all fic readers hate to hear it – but I’m back in school and will now have to divide my time and energy.
Even with having some solid chapters and ideas in place, I’d like to know everyone’s feedback on what’s to come.
It’ll be an AU – of course – of the Evan/Tasha world I’ve written up and borrowed in the first fic. As some may have picked up, I’m taking a soulmate route, where they’re known in the universe, but I was curious if people had other inputs or ideas that they’d like to see.
Keep the Evan/Tash paring or change it up completely?
Make it a multi-fic or a throuple?
Scenes you’d hope to see?
For this ^^^^ question in particular, a few people requested on Tumblr that I do an Evan/Tash kinktober which I would be happy to do if there are specific scenes you’d hope to see.
Once again, I’d like to thank everyone for reading and without further ado here is a snippet of the first chapter of part 2:
...
I was screaming.
I was screaming at the top of my lungs, in pain, in fear, in grief. He hurt me. Then I was saved. I was so alone. But she found me. Red hair. I need to find the red hair. But then I was taken away and I was so lost. It hurt. Everything hurt. I couldn’t see. Red. The red hair was back. Smiling…. Then gone again. She was gone. Stones. Aliens. Deafening snap.
“Evelyne! Wake up! You’re dreaming! Wake up darling, I’ve got you now.”
I took in a strangled gasp of air. Sobs shook my chest. I was scared. I’m panicking. Then just as quickly, it ended. A shock of electricity shot through my body; my mind cleared as the images that scared me before began to make so much sense. I took in a lifetime of thoughts, information, experiences, and feelings in the span of only a few moments, up until the final minutes of my alter, sharing her… other-my?... life with me. I felt like I was awoken for the first time in my life, a whole new understanding of the world and the universe filling my mind.
For a second, it was too much. I was certain I’d lose my mind if it continued on for any longer. I was mad that my life was uprooted, that another version of me decided that I shouldn’t be allowed to live out my life as it should have been, regardless of the impending misfortunes. Then once more, there was clarity, understanding settled and all anger was gone. I found myself thankful for the heads-up, no matter how earth shattering it all felt, and I was ready to take on what was expected of me, for me, and stop Thanos from gathering the stones.
“Ma’am, can you hear us?”
“Seems more responsive, vitals are stabilizing.”
“What’s her name?”
“Evelyne.”
“Evelyne can you here us? You had a seizure but we’re going to take care of you, you’re going to be fine.”
