Never Thought- The Commentaries: Chapter 32

shadow, won't you stay with me? nothing's ever what it seems

Chapter 32's title is taken from "Into The Mist" by Eivør

I love Eivør's music, and the English version of her album "Slør" is just as fantastic as the Faroese version. I was glad I was able to use some of her lyrics for this project!

Eyup, that's how we start- a post-passion wake-up moment with Marth and Caeda. Considering they had to kill one of their wedding VIPs, I don't blame them for needing something to ease their pains, even if temporarily. God I love the angst.

...Ah, yes. Ange being a mom to Wolf. I really wanted the "chip off the old block" vibe that she's much more similar to Maia than one thinks, and this was a good opportunity. Also her seeming to quote Hardin is because she gets Wolf and knows exactly how to get him to do what he needs to do.

And Xane proceeds to flirt with Ange. Which gets her off guard. Which is so cute. :3

Spreading some seed on reasons why Nyna gave the Archanean throne to Marth in this AU. It also makes sense in canon as well (coughLangcough) but it makes the more sense in here. Also yes, there's that joke about humans being yummy with ketchup for dragons. XP And now, we began the showdown with Eremiya.

Ange has nightvision as a Sea Dragon, which is why she can see in low light. (Yes, there is a comment further in the story where she complains about the darkness. Just because she has nightvision doesn't mean she enjoys it, and sometimes it annoys her. Not here.) And hooooooly shit is Marth pissed at Eremiya. And oh, did Ange added a middle name to herself? "If Marth can have one, so can I!" And yes, she chooses her Poppa's first love. That's how much Ange cares about his life, and the life he didn't have.

Yeah, Sara changed the whole 'brainwashing' thing with Eremiya. Makes a whole lot more sense. As for Ange suddenly glowing, well, she did use something similar back in Break/Shake to help out Julian and Lena... remember?

And yes we have the knockoff tomes. ...I just realized Aura doesn't come back in Awakening.
