November 2048 - December 2049
He doesn't go back with Julian. Not officially anyway.
They keep in touch because they want to but they don't always talk due to their job. Well, mostly Julian's job as policeman (he's still a wizard unlike him but he asks to be able to intervene in muggle part if necessary), since Aden isn't on the stage. Yet.
So he uses his free time to stroll around London (because even if he's British, he hasn't have the occasion to know his country since he only lives in the wizard part) and auditions for some ads to earn some money (and still struggling for vegan/animals right, not eating them, not mistreating them, etcetera.).
One day, he decides to play with some random group in a skate park.
He learned by Eileen, during their dance at the wedding because this ex-Slytherin love to taunt him, that the 30 Legends' children all drink Brenda's potion to swap their gender the 26th of July. So, while he's in pain they have fun together by having some very funny activity.
(Okay, maybe Earl didn't attend, neither Crystal because the first isn't part of them yet and the latter 'cause it would be difficult to integrate a ghost, but he's still the only one who didn't got to have fun too!)
Anyway, he asks skaters in the park if they can teach him how to do it. And they spend the whole day rolling and skating, with Julian joining because the guy just want to spend time with him. (Even if he's more here to help him not to fall, 'cause like ice skating, he's as mediocre.)
In December, he volunteers to help freely in hospital and even play Santa Klaus to cheer hospitalized children.
But, he still hasn't anything to do in January. One day, he thinks about visiting Nina, since she's the one he can freely contact without passing through magic. But she has something else to do, with someone special.
"Francis! Wow, long time no see!"
The Frenchman is also amazed to see his former co-star of R-Dream an hugs back the ginger without thinking twice.
"I'm the one who has to say that! How you're going?"
"Little miserable, I'm workless." He laughs, meaning he isn't that upset to be workless. "And how is thing going on with you two?" He wiggles his eyebrows at the couple.
Nina avoids his eyes, blushing and smiling shyly, and Francis just grins. No need to say more, it seems.
"Okay, I will be frank, how much time do you have before returning in France? Do you mind that I spend sometime with the two of you, or I will be the third wheel and maybe a turn off?"
"Although I really want to tell you that yes, you'll be annoying if you really spent the whole day with us, I won't turn you down to have some retouch with some actor. You're lucky, the French R-Dream will film the next season here, in U.K."
"Awesome."
And it is. Mid-January, the whole French cast crosses the Manche by Eurostar and set in some place to start the filming.
He retouches with Loic Lasomme. Even if he learns that he's now married with a pretty women, not in the cast, they stayed pretty close. And Aden jokes again about his irresistible charm to turn straight men into bi just because he's interest in them. Unless it's Bastian who's talking.
Because the French cast uses the oppotunity of his presence to ask him to play some episode for their show.
At this occasion, he contacts Cameron Stirling to ask him if there is problem if he accepts. There isn't. In fact, it's even a good chance, the American R-Dream director could use those episodes to reintroduce the Bastian character after three years of vanishing. Thus he goes back in the States to play with his former co-stars for the last time. 'Cause he's not sure that he could return in the cast again. Sure his contract with the producer says three years, so he did for the three first seasons, and he could sign another contract but he ain't sure that would be good for the audience, even if the public craves his comeback. At least, it could satisfied JasTian shippers, because now he's not in the agency, there isn't impossible love.
And he can play with his half-sister Elizabeth again. Especially if Bastian could now bear female contact. Yeah, so he almost abuse physics contacts in the show, by hugging his former co-workers.
Although it's just for one episode (still long like a 90 minutes telefilm). This is just the preview of his comeback on the screen.
And maybe also his scenarist skills.
Okay, so after filming the sixth episode of American's R-Dream, he's approached by a producer. The man is very interested by his life's experience, especially his new leaf and new physic part. Because now he's like a bodybuilder even if he's still thin.
Anyway, Hugh Crochter asks him if he can use his life experience for his next project. Aden says yes, and even dares to ask him to be part of it. By acting or giving ideas for the plot. So, from July to September, he realizes a movie where he's the main character.
In Britain. Even if he doesn't form himself in the United Kingdom, he's very fond of his nation (even if he doesn't know it very well).
Sure, Bi [en] cephale isn't very following his life but the message is pretty much the same. The synopsis so far : After his accident, Cole doesn't seem to be the same person, it's like he's possessed by other person, with new goal.
And maybe if he's very honest with himself, Julian's an impact with his decision.
