A short oneshot about what could have happened had Death cheated, had he let Rudy Steiner's soul slip back through his cold fingers, had he let Liesel Meminger love him. All rights for The Book Thief and its characters go to Markus Zusak.

An alternate ending to The Book Thief with Rudy and Liesel. Contains some major spoilers, so only read if you have already read The Book Thief or seen the movie.
