Oh, I definitely think Synthesis is a happy ending! But I did as little 'A' as I could, and it took 15K words before I felt comfortable leaving it there. And I emphatically wouldn't have felt comfortable writing an out-universe AU, or (for example) writing an in-universe AU where Charles wasn't in a wheelchair.
I think the purpose of out-universe AUs is to give us that happy ending, at least relatively happy. In this case, however, I am only dreading their conversation about Oxford. I do expect it all to end reasonably well.
Oh good, I'm glad to hear it. And yeah, the Oxford conversation is going to be…interesting.
