Why this must be read: After the finale, there were quite a few stories ruminating on or trying to "fix" some aspects of Daybreak. This one, however, really convinced me that the events unfolding in the last episodes could be considered a happy ending and that all those beloved characters did indeed get their bright shiny future.

[livejournal.com profile] lyssie paints a realistic picture of the more primitive and harder life that might await the colonists and their children on Earth while still preserving the optimism of this end-turned-beginning. And she also presents Lee and the rest of his life in a way that feels more in-character than the prospect of solitary mountain-climbing forever and ever, as someone who lives for a new family and a new community. Despite the generally optimistic tone, this is a very bittersweet story, though, even as it grants Lee and Kara some closure in the end: Tissue warning ahoy. :)
