Description Please forgive me for I have sinned.  *hides in trash can *wonders what is wrong with me  *cries
I maaaaay have gotten carried away with the background…  so earlier versions here:
line art
WIP

The idea was: an alternate ending (since I’m sure whatever the finale has in store will be much better and far more satisfying.) where the strap perpetually crossed over Ford’s chest was attached to an ancient scroll which contained an incantation and the power to bind an immortal being to a mortal body.  He kept it with him at all times, not so much to ensure its safety, but in case he needed to use it.  It was part one of a last resort, if the worst happened and no other solutions worked.  Part two was what he was hiding under his sweater, an array of purification tattoos.  The plan was that he’d bind Bill to his body and the tattoos would naturally destroy them both.  

This is a lot more complicated in my head and does involve the cipher circle and journals and also explains why Bill was keeping certain people alive, why he wanted the journals destroyed so badly, why time travel wouldn’t fix things (not that it wouldn’t in canon because it very well could play into things in a big way but for the sake of this alternate ending, it’s because if Ford wasn’t Bill’s pawn, he would have found someone else and at least Ford was willing to do something to end things once and for all - basically that things needed to get some degree of worse so an overall better, safer world could emerge and this was the least horrible version of what could have been), and also addresses the town’s barrier…  but alas, creative things rarely are simple for me…    

If anyone wants to do anything to expand on this, please do.  Then share it with me so we can be angst trash together .

I...  might have parts of this alternate ending written...  But I stopped writing it after the finale because anything would pale in comparison to the Shacktron...  

Sorry for turning on the feels .  And thanks!

Haha yeah the Shacktron was pretty hard to beat. Still, I would have loved to read your alternate ending.


Its okay. And you're welcome.

Yes, it does need to happen! You cant just drop a feels bomb picture and an awesomely feelsy au idea like that and not do anything else with it.

Oh god why God I really, really hope nothing like this happens in the finale. It's fun to break our hearts with what-if scenarios, it's another thing entirely for it to happen for real. Gah, the way they're holding hands and how Ford's grip is loose and slack just breaks my heart the most, and I don't know why. Someone save these poor broken teacups. Let them live.

MayakaEd In reply to X-I-L2048 [2016-02-09 09:18:37 +0000 UTC]

I apologize in advance for this...

In my head, the hand holding started off as a high-six...  Also, the tattoos were fiery hot and basically burned the holes in his sweater.     
(Maybe I'll sit down and write this someday...)
I think the actual ending will be satisfying, whatever it may be.  So true that something like this in canon is just too sad to think of.    
This alternate ending...  well it ties up loose ends and resolves things but it's not satisfying.  It truly is a sinful fan work to play to the feels.
Thanks for the comment!  It's good to know that the emotion came through.  
Though, sorry it's heart-breaking... *searches in drawer for some adhesive* Let's glue that back together again .  
(But really, I'm working on a super-happy fluff ending piece to make up for this one...)

Indeed it can.  Pray for the characters in my original fiction.  
Holy interdimensional rifts, Batman.  I am such angst trash.  But also silliness and fluff trash so er...  at least there's balance?  Maybe?

MayakaEd In reply to Phillyphil89 [2016-01-28 04:09:45 +0000 UTC]

Ford thought of that , the tattoos wouldn't have done anything if the binding didn't take.  So if for some reason Bill was immune, the tattoos would have nothing to react to so no death would occur.  But yeah, there was a post somewhere that hit the feelings behind things like this right on.  It was basically fans saying "we were totally on board when it was only our fanfics...  We can't handle it being canon!"  So I'm with you in hoping that he doesn't die.  Fun to imagine, tragic if it becomes canon T_T.
