lunabee34I finished The Fionavar Tapestry today. I really enjoyed the end of the series; in fact, I feel rather emotionally drained right now after spending the last half hour of the book having a lovely cry. LOL
I expected characters to die, but I was surprised by who died and who lived. I thought Tabor was a goner for sure, and I was happy for him to survive. As soon as Darien took the knife from Kim, I was pretty sure he was going to die and save everyone that way. Although I didn't care for the Arthurian subplot much, I did really like that Arthur, Gwen, and Lance rode off to have an eternal threesome. I don't think there's any way to else to interpret that scene. I was shocked by Diarmuid's death. I really thought he'd last the whole series. I wasn't shocked by Finn's death, but it made me very sad. His poor mama and daddy. :(
I think my favorite part of the ending was Jaelle and Paul getting together. About time, dear characters. I've seen this coming for some time now.
I wonder about Kim and Dave going back to Earth, though. How could you go back and live there like nothing ever happened? I get they have families they miss (or in Dave's case want to start trying to forge a relationship with), but I think Earth would be rather mundane after everything they've been through. The implication is that they're going to start dating, which is probably for the best as I don't see how they could really be with anyone else, but I didn't like them going back.
In other news, assignments for the Jack/Daniel ficathon have gone out, and I want to do a little rewatch/refresh before writing my story. What do y'all think are the shippiest Jack/Daniel episodes since I have to limit myself to just a few?
