Youth Without Youth

Chapter 15: Act 3 Ending Notes + Epilogue Notes

Notes:

I'd wanted to write a final act 3 chapter giving Dev the love he deserves, after that shocking incident. So, this was it.

I'm also including the notes I had for the epilogue I wanted to write as well.

(See the end of the chapter for more notes.)

Chapter Text

End of ACT 3

 

- Dev’s funeral (look up/ask about hindu funerary practices) 

  • Simon hangs towards the exit, with Lady Salisbury (who has reached out to him after the story of Lucy comes out in the open) 
  • Watches Baz’s family. Wants to be near him, to hold him. Decides to give him space. They all need it right now. 
  • Walks out with Lady Salisbury.



 

EPILOGUE



  • What happened since Agatha’s POV. Coven came. Took their comments. Simon’s spell was done in self defense. Jason Reid arrested for murder, Mitali named as interim head of Coven and headmistress of Watford.
  • Baz spends his days rebuilding what his family has lost. He helps people get resettled back in their homes. He supports Padma through Dev’s death. 

 

  • Summer Solstice. Baz is there with his family. They’re able to celebrate the magical holidays and practice the ancient arts once again. He has made it a point never to use the forces of dark magic as a power boost again. 
  • He thinks about Simon. He’s heard, through Agatha, that Penelope and Dr. Wellbelove have been working on ways to help Simon control his magic. He’s also been seeing a therapist, and has moved in with Lady Salisbury. 
  • Baz is happy for him. But he misses him. Mitali gave Baz the option to come back to Watford in the Autumn, in order to complete his final year, and Baz has taken her up on that offer. 

 

  • Baz leaves his family for a bit to walk around the field where other families have gathered. He finds himself alone in a small clearing, so he sits down and just thinks to himself, about everything that’s happened. 
  • Someone sits down next to him, lifting a wing to shield him from the sun. It’s Simon. 
  • They talk. 
  • They’re both not sure if they’re ready for something so big and serious, but they miss each other. Simon can’t stop thinking about Baz. Not thinking about him is like an elephant sitting on his chest. 
  • Baz will never be able to get rid of Simon “you’re in me so deep, I wouldn’t know how to get you out. (look up AWTWB quote).
  • S: So, what do we do?
  • B: I don’t know. 
  • S: Well, can I kiss you? Can we start with that?
  • B: *smiles* Yeah. Alright. 
  • They kiss. 



THE END

Notes:

And that's it... 2 years in the making.

Maybe I'll come back to this in a few years and write out the plot... but for now, I hope this can offer closure to those who loved this story as much as I did.

Thank you :)
