Summary: Trekker wrote a series called In Another Life where Rupert went back to the Council but never broke up with Ethan. In the chapter “The Dark Age, Postscript”, Ethan is drawn into a universe where his and Rupert's relationship had ended. It was such a fascinating idea I couldn't help but play with it. This is a remix of that chapter.
Note: The story shifts between the two verses but headers are included to orient the reader.

The Odd Couple

My new roommate paid to have carpets cleaned - living room, stairs and hallway, and her room - which was awfully nice of her. But ... she's as happy about the carpets being cleaned as I was the last time I came up with something clever to work into a story. To me, okay, clean carpets are nicer than dirty ones but I'm not jumping for joy. She posted how happy she is to Facebook. We are so Felix Unger and Oscar Madison.
