Why this must be read: When I first re-entered the fandom I consumed all the fic I could get my hands on. Stories that take place after the series finale are very popular but as satisfying as they were, I found myself looking for a certain type of post-Last Knight story. I was itching for something that looked at "Last Knight" within the context of what very likely happened. As devastating as the finale was, I wanted it addressed. In the wake of the finale's events, characters were left behind, namely Captain Reese, as well as the one time or supporting characters that were never revisited like Natalie's family or Grace Balthezar. How did they deal with the mystery of it all? Dorothy's "All the Rest is Silence" trilogy could not have been more perfect. Tragic, fitting, and heart breaking.

Reese looked around one last time, his heart heavy. He knew there were only questions here, not answers. Knight had always been an enigma. Not only a loner, but someone who managed to keep his personal life completely apart from work. Reese could think of no one besides Natalie who had entrance to it. Whatever entrance she had found seemed to have swallowed her up as well. He guessed he should go back and start looking at Nick's personnel file. Maybe there'd be something to tell him who else he could talk to. Maybe. Shoulders slumped under the burden, Reese departed.
