Well, it looks like I'm doing this for the Halloween party. Which leaves me about five hours to find violet coveralls.

Anyone have some goggles I could borrow?

I should hope so. Otherwise they're violating my copyrights.

It's weird, I feel like I've known you forever. Sometimes, I wish I'd met you twenty years ago. But I don't think I was done, then, becoming the person you needed me to be. And I'm glad I met you now because before I met you, I'd all but given up on the idea that there's anything to be gained from vulnerability. Almost all of my relationships end in death or betrayal, and I thought I couldn't... do that anymore. Let someone in like that, let them in far enough to hurt me. Be vulnerable. Be known.

Then there was you.

I wouldn't have been very good to you if you'd met me before now. Before learning how the story ends and knowing everything that I know about my life, what I'm meant to be. It's been a struggle you know, since I've arrived here.

So it's the right time, perhaps the right century. I'd like to say I met you before to stop you from being run across the asphalt of bad relationships but... I can't pretend there isn't a good chance I wouldn't have been one of them.

This is better. This is... where I want to be.

	Me, too. I think everything that happened between us, there are things that I would change, if I did it all again. But for the most part, I think it happened the way it needed to. The only way it could have. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	There is plenty I wouldn't change at all. Because we're here now and that's really the main thing. The most important thing. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	It's something so impossibly strange to think about. A world ending. Like the last page of a book. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I wonder where all of that matter goes, when a universe ceases to exist. What happens to it. If the laws of physics still exist outside of everything. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I think I'm a character from a book. I think, maybe one day, this'll end and you'll wake up and you'll remember it all. But I won't. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Dorian \| Tony tonystark 2013-10-26 11:32 pm UTC (link)
	I don't accept that. Maybe you were a character from a book, maybe the tesseract made you from spare atoms and a blueprint in someone's mind, but you're more than that now. You have your own mind, your own thoughts, your own memories. There is so much more to you than was written in the pages of that book. And anyway, I don't want to wake up without you.

	Maybe, maybe not. But I'll always want you to be here. So I guess we'll never have to find out. I'll tell you what. If we ever find a way to leave and get far, far away from the tesseract, I'll bring you with me. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
