I’d love to see that narrative arc restored and completed. That doesn’t mean it has to end happily. Just that the seething resentments and secrecy and misunderstandings and thwarted love have to burst out into the open. There has to a reckoning, an accounting.
YES. Just, so much 'yes' to that entire paragraph. After all the buildup, the entire conflict was left horribly unresolved. That's why I'm so glad that fandom was ready to roll up the sleeves and start providing the resolution that canon lacked!
As a fellow lover of lyricism, language and wordplay, I really look forward to your entry. I'm already certain that it'll be gorgeous.
