Summary:

After seeing those stills for 2×15 (so spoilers for them), this is what I vaguely predict is going to happen in the possible morning scene (although I do hope it is much happier than this). So yeah, just a little ramble that I had to get out my head.

1×12,

2×15, Angst,

Magnus POV

Summary:

He had seen so many struggles from the moment they first surfaced to the moment they had ended, and he had witnessed the bliss that was rewarded, and he had seen when the bliss ended and a new struggle presented itself. It was the endless circle that was life. It would always be like this. After struggle comes bliss, and after bliss comes struggle. Rinse and repeat.
