Okay so like . Yes I have my fix-it fic alternative timeline where the assassination never happens. But thinking about canon. Matt going to jail probably for life with no chance of parole with the shit he pulled. And just what happens in that prison. Because there's no way he lasts more than a few years. I have it actually fully fleshed out in my head what happens and would definitely write about it if the three Matt Engarde enjoyers would be interested. He definitely takes himself out. Gets someone to do it for him in a tragic full-circle ordering-a-hit moment.
