I like to think Q moves to the big city, and opens up his curio shop again. Without the Cernunnos taking his time, he tries to look for his next big adventure. One day, a lost kid wanders into his shop, sobbing. Q doesn't know what to do, and every attempt at calming the kid doesn't work. Eventually, he calms him with a tale. This calms the kid, who eventually helps Q find his parents. The next day, the kid returns, wanting to hear more stories.

This sparks Q's love of fairytales again. He writes his stories, and little by little, becomes a moderately successful children's author.

But some days, his mind wanders to that dusty drawer in the corner, the one he keeps Grandma's thorn diary pages hidden. He thinks of mailing them to the Barista, but why ruin her happy ending? Maybe, if he does nothing, it will solve itself. But maybe, in the future, an Araguaney will come look for them. For a way to stop the comming calamity.

For a way to stop the Wild Hunt.

But that's just my wish.
