Why this must be read:

Set some time after the finale, this quiet-yet-vivid fic shows Chuck trying bravely to make the most of her second life, despite the difficulties it poses. Her particular brand of strength shines through here, giving perfect illustration to why I love her character so much.

Chuck surveys the room around her—taking note of every chintzy detail and all the little changes she has made since it became solely her home.

Olive now lives in the head of the Intrepid Cow not so very far away with her books of macaroni and cheese recipes and her perfect husband with his shiny, white teeth. The apartment is now Chuck’s and she wishes that she were more excited about having this space to call her own.

Chuck has never really wanted to own anywhere. Unlike Ned she had the most steadfast idea of home and family while growing up. She has no real desire to create another.

She can hear him—in the next apartment over—trying to busy himself rather than encroaching on her independent time.

Chuck thinks it’s sweet.

They never seem to run out of things to talk about, things to bake, adventures to have.
