   Summary

   An imagination of post-canon speculation for how Gilbert may have gone about saving Ben. Partially in distance, this reimagine is not intended for serious purposes as I am actually just dying for some consolation that they do end up together, and this is going to be my reimagining of that. There won't be too much working around the main story as I'm too eager to finish this, but epect semi-frequent updates. This is the first fic I've worked on in FOR EVER and I'm so excited to get to it. Expect gay love and epicness.
