If you could've written an episode.....


Not an ending, just an ep, what would you have liked to have written/seen on the show?

I always wanted to see an episode where Catherine takes Vincent to the lake in the mountains she told him about in "Remember Love" He promised her one day they would see that lake. I thought it would be great if there was an episode when the two of them went through some kind of falling out or drama and in the end she had gone there to get away and Vincent shows up and they embrace and all is well again and it ends with them holding each other and looking out at the water from the tall grass.

I've read a few fanfics w/this theme, but don't remember where -But I'm sure you could find them on-line -There are many well written 'alternative ending' stories to all of the episodes

I would steal a bit from George R.R. Martin's idea for the first three episodes of the original third season.

They wanted to start off the third season with a trilogy called Land of the Dead!
It starts with Catherine and Vincent in the cave but instead of Catherine healing Vincent by making love to him he 'dies'.
After Vincent in burried in the catacombs, Cathy picks up her life above.
Saddened and not being able to believe she will ever enjoy life again she accepts Elliott's marriage proposal.
But to be able to share her whole life with Elliott she decides to introduce him to the tunnel community and tell him all about Vincent.
Father gives Cathy and Elliott his blessings and tells Catherine Vincent would have wanted her to be happy and go on with her life.

During all this we see Vincent entering the land of the dead where he has to face all the villians he killed including Paracelsus one more time, in order to be able to return to Catherine and the love they shared.

On their wedding day while walking down the altar Catherine has horrible headaches. Just when Cathy is about to say 'I do' she realises where her headaches are coming from, so she rushes right through the parc and into the tunnels, with Elliott right behind her.

Just when Catherine arrives at the catacombs, Vincent breaks free and the two lovers reunite. But how long will their happiness last now that Elliott refuses to give up the love his life one again?

I think I've read a fanfic very similar to this, but Vincent wasn't dead, he told Catherine he didn't love her so she would marry Elliot & have a normal life, but of course in the end she & Vincent made up

Catherine and Vincent move into the home that Catherine's ex-fiance had purchased.

Crossover between BATB with Phantom of the Opera, I thought of another tunnel dweller who moved from Europe and lives far away from the dwellers but Vincent managed to get through all his traps to meet with him. Erik doesn't feel threaten by Vincent but found him to be fancinating given to his appearances so he allows only Vincent to visit him.

Catherine befriends a young opera singer who was the daughter of one of her old college friends. The girl is Christine who confides in Catherine about a secret teacher who instructs her in music.

Long story migh will be putting it up in Fanfiction.net someday.
