Haze (alternate ending)

The alternate ending for Haze was written by Scarlett Mochi in the perspective of Evangeline Caulfield in the first half, and Jonathan Frye in the second.

In the original and canon ending for Haze, Lady Evangeline Caulfield unfortunately passes away after the birth of Jonathan, due to blood loss and high fever. Evangeline's courter (and brief fiancé before death), Jacob Frye, sends Jonathan to India to study as an Assassin out of fear of being unable to raise his own son without Evangeline. Jonathan returns in the bonus chapters for the Jack the Ripper event in 1888 (age 18) to reconcile with his father and build a life in London, later meeting his future wife, Lillian Callahan and having a daughter years later.

In the alternate ending for Haze, the story is reimagined as what could have happened if Evangeline did not pass away in child birth in the bonus chapters. About a year or so after Jonathan's birth, Jacob and Evangeline married with the blessing of Evangeline's mother, Alice Caulfield. The wedding was not large, taking place in a small chapel with only close friends and family to attend, and the ceremony was followed by a consummation to keep tradition.

Three months after the wedding ceremony, Evangeline suspected another pregnancy (and was right). Jacob was still cleaning up the mess Crawford Starrick had left behind after him and his sister, Evie, had killed him, and was reluctant to live with Evangeline and Jonathan in Caulfield Estate until Evangeline revealed the news to Jacob. Unfortunately about halfway through the pregnancy, Evangeline miscarried and was devastated. No matter how many times the two tried again, it did not work. Eventually, they gave up.

The couple raised Jonathan as an Assassin, following tradition and mentoring him in all things knowledge and combat. When Jonathan reached the age of eighteen, mysterious murders committed by none other than Jack the Ripper began to erupt all over London. His father went missing just after the murder of two prostitutes while Evie returned to London to help with the situation, agreeing to work with her nephew. Jonathan refused to allow Evangeline to tangle herself up in the situation, afraid of losing another parent.

Along trying to find his father and kill the ripper, Jonathan ran into Lillian Callahan, the angry daughter of a poor blacksmith. Due to the murder of her friend, she insisted on joining Jonathan and Evie on their mission to end the Ripper and find Jacob, hopefully being able to take a swing herself (even if her death was involved).

Jonathan and Lillian (Lily) showed signs of fancying each other, and shortly after the death of Jack the Ripper and finding Jacob, Jonathan and Lily began courting and were married in 1890. The two had their daughter, Lydia, in 1893.
