He should've stuck to drawing the funny.

I'm of the opinion that things will more or less settle down and return to the "forgive and forget status quo" that happens after resolved Incidents. Characters don't change a whole lot and you can see that in the games. In this case the big changes are that many important characters have kids, and Yukari & Ran go through a change in their dynamic.

My "Ideal ending":
Yukari gets humbled and put in her place, 'maybe' gets a child as a consolation prize and she backs off to her normal activity in the background of things. Ran wanted to respect her master again and Chen wanted things to go back to normal. With time the gulf between them closes as things are steadily resolved. Of course their dynamic will change and with this whole incident Ran grew a backbone and can work with Yukari as more of a team rather than master/slave. Ran can finally say more to Yukari's wierdo plans than "Are you sure?". It'll become something to laugh about and reflect on as a cautionary tale to tell their children.
Reimu becomes better as both a person and mother as she tries to reconcile with Hana. With luck Hana will grow into a fine successor and shrine maiden and they'll get some semblance of the mother/daughter relationship they never had. While Anon might not forgive her, they can both agree that there's been enough suffering and move on as there's no point in dwelling on the sins of the past.
Anon likely ends up with Ran, but could just as easily choose others to go with. Once he knows the truth I imagine he'll could feel that he shoulders the responsibility of the pregnancy crisis and spend the rest of his life looking after his new extended family with the help of his new wife. Or he could choose to distance himself knowing that he's not needed and the next generation is in good hands; finally getting his somewhat quiet life back with someone he can rely on. While he's his own character by this point, ultimately Anon is (you) and everyone's got differing interpretations of his mental state. Maybe you think he's Stockholm'd enough to go to Yukari of all things and that's the ending you choose, who is to complain what Anon wishes to do. And it looks like writefags want to do their own separate endings on how things finally pan out, so you'll have options if you didn't write it yourself.
