And I don't see Fleur as "bad" certainly "messed up" and understandably so. It hurts when she blames Rathe for what happened. But Rathe's mouth never helps. He needs to keep it shut some times!
Those two are like oil and water! They just don't mix!
Anyway...
What a conversation they had! So many mixed emotions! Guilt, anger, regret, more anger, grief, and more anger again! And then he just walked away, instead of trying to make things better... typical. Damn, those two are very similar to each other in a way - equally stubborn and never giving up while arguing.
It's interesting how they both see good and evil in the world through so totally different "lenses":
--Rathe sees evil in the world, but good in Fleur.
--Fleur sees good in the world, but everytime she sees Rathe, she is reminded of evil, when he is manifestly NOT. Aaarrrgh!
It would indeed seem as though NO good deed EVER goes unpunished:
Rathe rescued Fleur, cared for her, kept her well-FED and CLOTHED, gave her a crossbow, which she took to with talent, and kept her safe during several widely-scattered adventures, for the most part, until the end....
Now he must carry TWO proverbial albatrosses 'round his neck for horrific acts he was not even responsible for??
Rathe can say TO OBLIVION with all of NIRN....the very next time some pathetic sob-story makes the woeful mistake of approaching HIM, he can cruelly and mercilessly either: demand massive payment UP FRONT, or kick it's arse!
This chapter truthfully gave me a SERIOUS hate-on for Fleur in very similar fashion to Momma Zuzu....I wonder why?^^....
Young Darius is certainly a "wannabe" lover for Fleur big-time, but he's apparently not quite there yet^^....
I am SO sorry for such bitterness, Jess, but fleur has GOT to learn that no matter how messed up she may be, she just can't casually crush good and honourable guys' hearts like that....it's just so unfair and totally unjust, and in many cases, rarely forgiven....
Fleur now kinda reminds me of Taylor Swift in a small way, and NOT in a good way, I'm afraid.....
Instantly endorsed! Very warm thanks for such exquisitely delicious angst, Jess, and cheers, dear!
--Rathe sees evil in the world, but good in Fleur.
--Fleur sees good in the world, but every time she sees Rathe, she is reminded of evil,
is PERFECT.
In two sentences you've captured EXACTLY what I was trying to write. Thank you hon!!
And THAT is the reason why I don't (can't) hate Fleur. She is misguided, delusional and blind to reality. But not a bad person. And at the moment she's taking it all out on Rathe (the wrong person) but if he's strong enough to bare it... there may be a reward at the end.
Thanks dear!
Has put to death {EDIT: after reading Ch 11 - add the word almost } almost any hope that I would ever like Fleur again. In my eyes she has become a child, a self-focused, irresponsible child, not wanting to take responsibility for anything and wishing to blame everyone else. She really needs to grow the oblivion up and face reality. It isn't like she is the only person to have ever been through some of the things she has. Just look at Anna:
Clearly she does not. Fleur seems to have no memory of what Rathe has done for her. Instead she is mean, petty, and vicious in her words; the only thing Fleur seems to care about is herself.
All that being said I do understand she can't face those memories and obviously Rathe brings those memories back. I do FULLY understand that. What I don't get is why she has to be so vicious towards him. Instead break things off with him, tell him she does not blame him but that she also can't deal with the memories associated with the two of them.
Hopefully Rather will move on :p Guess I need to go read the next chapter. Yep. No beer and popcorn but I have Espresso and my lunch which I am eating while listening to perfect mood music and a nice candle lit.
Fantastic shots, wonderful pictures, and extremely well developed and engaging characters - even the villains that I love to hate
Well have taken some time to process these last two chapters, for this one, I do not in any way thing the Fleur is the bad person but I can think she is the good person either, its hard to have seen both sides of the coin where either of them only have their views to fall back on. As outsiders it easy to sit and look and say this was wrong or that is wrong but have to be honest after writing Ambrosia's story there is no way to make this right for either Rathe or Fleur so easy. She is young and will feel he was to be the one to come, and he feels guilty as sin that he was not there to stop that rape and will forever remember that , nothing she ever says will hurt him as much as his memory of not being in time. but sooner or later she is going to need to put the blame on the person who fault it truly is and maybe then they can move on, but boys does Rathe sister need someone to teach her a very lasting lessons. Again great Story and lovely shots, a lot of work , a rest is In order for sure !!
Poor Rathe though. I seriously do need to give him a break!
Must have been a huge amount of work to put this together.
Thanks for sharing :-D
And what a drama!
Thanks dear!
