After many tears and much fighting, Death grants Rudy life. This is story of how Death changed his mind and happened afterward. Maybe the book thief wasn't completely alone. T for sadness/couple scenes.:updated:

Four years is a long time to wait for a kiss. However, this kiss is like no other. Yes, this kiss is from one theif to another.

9 years after the bombing, the book thief finds out that Rudy was never dead at all.

Rudy/Liesel. "You still want that kiss Saukerl?" Rudy and Liesel are on their way to get the Fuhrer when they stop, and Liesel gives in.

Rudy stood up on my hand, his arms crossed and a defiant frown stuck on his thin mouth. Even in death, I could see the flecks of blue in his deep gaze, and it wasn't until my aged, dark brown eyes met his that I knew I couldn't take him. R&R for more!

A few Alternate Endings for The Book Thief. Rudy lives in all of them. Fluffy and sweet. My very first Fanfic EVER! Please Read and Review!
