Why this must be read:

Like my last rec, this story is set post-Talk; in fact it’s post-series, and addresses some of the loose ends left dangling by the show’s cancellation. Multiple points of view come into play, and although the shifts in perspective are a little wonky every voice rings true. Take Audrey’s reaction to Cooper, “the white hum that engulfed her when she saw his smile,” or Cooper’s equally dazzled perception of her:

Audrey was too bright, too blinding...He could feel her intensity, her burning, could practically feel her going supernova under his palms, palms that sweated when she was near and itched when she was away. She was, she was going to be...amazing. He wondered what she would be like at twenty, at thirty. He wanted to be there to see it.

In the end there is comfort, and joy, and the knowledge that “Their hearts would beat for the rest of their lives.”

Supernova
