You may just want to sniffle all the way along. You know how it 'ends,' and I'm going to need to pick through the second trilogy (or simply re-read it, gleaning for moments of Ashmael and Vaysh) to see if there's any possibility for a reunion of any sort. :)

You're strong enough. I promise. But it is pretty relentlessly angsty; it's how he is. It's how he was transfigured, really.

I love your icon. :sigh:

Next installment, hopefully same time next week. The hara are in a sauna right now, and it's not dark. In fact, the next couple won't be too bad, but the Angst Rating will ratchet back up. It's the fun burden of writing about a tragic figure. ::kisses::
