But can one really get 50,000 words out of happiness?

I mean, I guess I could write a post-series fic where they have been happy and then something nuts happens for 50,000 words and then they are happy again. [The Romulans wouldn't just give up their influence on Vulcan after that one jerk guy was deposed... surely in another 20 years or so there would be some kind of crazy Vulcan sect that could have issues with Trip & T'Pol's happy family?]
