Quantum Entanglement: Howzer and Aurelia

40. Future Gazing While in Waiting

Author's Note: Whew, y'all. This is only my second full-length fanfic, and I really intended to just drop it as soon as they got together, skipping from his arrest to the part where they were reunited. But... I don't really know how to explain it... the stories seem to take on a life of their own, playing out in my mind. I mull it over, testing the options, and one always seems to rise above the others. Sometimes I try something and it doesn't fit, so it's discarded and rewritten. The angst and struggle of Aurelia's life after his arrest isn't something I normally like to even think about, let alone write. But for some reason it just felt right. I apologize if you started reading with expectations of a playful, romantic, fun ride... I hope there was a lot of that for you, and that the relative sobriety of the ending (for now) doesn't diminish that in the slightest. 

I do plan to continue the story, and I'm considering writing some lighthearted fluff as they readjust to life together on Coruscant, but I'm trying to keep the whole thing as canon-compliant as possible, meshing it as seamlessly as I can with The Bad Batch. So, most likely, it will have to be put on hold until season three comes out and we get a [hopefully happy] ending for our favorite clones. 

I can't express how much your votes and comments mean... I write for myself, honestly, but it brings immense joy to hear that others enjoy it as well!! I also am always wanting to improve, and constructive criticism is always welcome. I know we all have different preferences and styles, but I'm open to any and all feedback as I continue to enjoy this fantastic world of fanfic writing. :)
