   Summary

   After getting shot in the river and left for dead, Carpenter wakes up to find that the Trawler-man has dragged her down to his damp and shrimp-filled kingdom at last. Given the choice between taking some time to process her trauma, and tracking down her ex-god so she can kick him in the shins, Carpenter handles this situation in as healthy a manner as you'd expect.

   A choose-your-own-adventure set immediately post-canon. Between anger and grief, forgiveness and catharsis, Carpenter finally gets the chance to say goodbye on her own terms.
