Capheus wins the election, of course he does. He wins re-election, too…but probably not the one after that. It’s difficult, you see, to be the face of anti-corruption when your father-in-law is a drug lord.
He stays in politics, though. Zakia needs someone to drive her tour bus.
Wolfgang and Felix go with the India Plan, and the story is that, after the scare of Kala being shot, she and Rajan hired this scary-looking Germans as bodyguards. After a year or so, Kala’s parents suspect something but would rather not think about it and Rajan’s father is oblivious.
They’re all pretty good at keeping up the act – Felix is surprisingly fantastic at covering for the three of them – but now and then, someone will approach Rajan and suggest, sometimes genuinely sympathetically, that his wife might, just maybe, be…
Rajan is amazing at looking shocked and offended that you would even imply this about his beautiful wife. Of course she is perfectly honest, and their marriage has never been steadier! How dare you!
They have two daughters. The second is conspicuously light-skinned. People have almost given up commenting.
Lito has like two weeks in the middle of filming where he’s half-convinced that Hernando is going to leave him for Blake Huntington, because Blake can talk about Kant and metaphor and all those things that make Lito love Hernando so much but he Does Not understand. Hernando, of course, is stifling completely irrational spikes of rage every time he watches Lito kiss Blake, because…it never bothered him when it was women, you know, because he knew Lito wasn’t really interested. That it could never be real. But not only is Blake Huntington, well, Blake fucking Huntington, 3-time Academy Award winner, hot as a steaming griddle, and clever and educated to boot, but he’s male and Lito is out, and playing this role that is 50% his own story anyway, and here’s Blake being the love of his life… Meanwhile, Lito is off crying on a pillow somewhere because Hernando and Blake were talking about Proust…
Dani sorts this out by
a) shutting them in the bedroom until they talk to each other, and
b) sleeping with Blake Huntington and claiming dibs by right of First Bang.
she also, incidentally, prints cards for herself as an agent, and gets a lot of calls
The whole cluster, plus friends and family, flies to LA for the opening night of Iberian Dreams. Lito spends half of it full-on sobbing, at his own acting and more importantly because his dream is coming true.
The only one crying harder is Bug.
Nomi and Amanita stay in San Francisco, for the most part. They take a lot of romantic vacations to visit their family around the world, and take turns bringing each other coffee and pastries while they co-write a fictionalized, urban fantasy version of their story. Because even if the details need to stay secret, there are some things you need to say loud and proud.
Sun and Mun probably get married eventually, but they never have biological human children. They have a lot of dogs, and eventually Mun gets shot one too many times and she convinces him to quit the force and go work in a dojo. He loves it. Sun, meanwhile, is back at Bak, rebuilding her family name and doing finance by day and fistfights by night. The other fighters know her now, though. As do the kids Mun trains. It’s a really great extended family.
Will does not move to Iceland so much as move to Riley, and Riley’s home is Iceland but she cannot stay there, not always. Fortunately, there are clubs all over Europe that will open the doors and vive la resistance for Riley Blue.
In only a few years, she is pregnant again – though not with a child this time. With eight.
They go home for this. She has nightmares, of the car and the frozen hill and the empty church in equal parts.
It is nothing like that. They are on the beach, because it felt right, righter than her living room. Will holds her hands, as do Nomi, Lito, Sun, Capheus, Kala, Wolfgang. The sun is setting, but it is summer in Iceland; it is warm. Around the world, eight other people open their eyes and see the sunset as well, and their mother exhausted but smiling.
So the sense8 notfinale got me feeling some kind of way so behold my Check, Please!Sense8 AU verse wherein the Cluster is as follows:
– Jack Zimmermann, Stanley Cup winning center forward for the Providence Falconers, one of the two first out hockey players, alongside his longtime boyfriend/fiancé Kent Parson. When they were young and wanted to come out, PR insisted that if they were going to do it, the easiest way was by spinning an epic love story that eschewed most of the stereotypes about queer men. Kent is fine with their PR arranged marriage plans. Jack, not so much.
– Larissa “Lardo” Duan, an artist and hacktivist living in San Francisco with her somewhat codependent best friend and fellow hacker Justin “Ransom” Oluransi. They definitely got Greencard Married at some point, and have mostly forgotten about this.
– Adam Holster (née Birkholtz), an up and coming Hollywood type, recently joined into a superhero franchise and excited to be making the jump from the Starz/HBO/ShoTime series he’d been on for a few seasons to the silver screen. He was heavily encouraged by Hollywood Politics to assume a stage name, largely against his own will, and he spends a lot of time complaining about this to his lawyer, B. Knight, who insists on going by Shitty. Adam is perpetually annoyed about hiding large portions of his identity during interviews because he gets to tamp down both the Jewishness and the flagrant bisexuality and he’s so fucking Done.
– Rounding out their famous folk, they also have Derek Nurse, New York Times best selling author, who decided to become a famous recluse and moved to somewhere warm, sunny, and deserted. He’s happy there, though, which is what matters. At least until other people start showing up in his head and he has to acknowledge the fact he’s going crazy. Or at least, has to acknowledge it until real people start showing up at his house and trying to kill him.
– Fortunately for Derek, one of the people in his head is a Boston cop named Will Poindexter, who is damn good at fighting his way out of dangerous situations and saves Derek’s life once or twice on their first few meetings. Derek gets to return the favor ten-fold when Will’s family tries to have him committed. The only physically present person who believes Will – at least somewhat – is his work partner, Connor Whisk.
– There’s also Caitlin Farmer, the world’s most unlikely perpetrator of embezzlement, who is currently being forced to take the fall for her family’s crimes, but fortunately she has the help of local detective, Chris Chow, who is going to do whatever he can to help her, including helping her figure out who these voices are in her head.
– And there’s Ford – known only as such – who started her career as a driver in the Grand Prix, then became a stunt driver for the BBC, and now spends most of her time in an underground drag racing ring (the car version, not the makeup version) and is absolutely not to be trifled with. She gets along best with the last member of their cluster.
– who is Eric “The Baker” Bittle, one of the youngest members of the Tangredi Family, all of whom prove that the Mob didn’t go out of style in the fifties, it just moved to Georgia and married into some nice, upright American families like the Phelpses and the Bittles. The Baker is known for being unreadable, and for offing people by poisoning his baked goods. The problem there is, obviously, no one can tell if he’s mad at them, so you never know when you eat one of his pies if it’s going to be your last meal. His cousin Anthony is the Baker’s only weak spot, since he does everything he can to shield Tony from the family business. And then, later, to shield him from BPO and the fact Eric is falling in love with the hockey player in his head.
