Robin Hobb and "Quid Pro Quo"

_bubbleforest - *SCREAMS* DUUDE. I HATE the time difference! Nighteyes! Oh, my dear! I ♥ him! "Little brother." *dies* Tassin was a bitch. Starling is really, really annoying. Even Kettricken started to annoy me, and I think I can see why you weren't gushing over Chade. Poor, used Fitz. I have to admit, I saw what was coming up, RE Molly and Nettle and the

Oh man. Tassin! She was that girl who tried to seduce Fitz, right? And dude, I thought Starling was so sweet in the beginning, but then she just changed SO drastically and I ended almost skipping the parts she was in, I loathed her that much. And heh, yeah, I guessed that that ivory face was the Fool as well. At least I hoped it was. So you've read the part I have on my journal then? Ooh! And have you read the plumbing conversation yet? That is the BEST! Oh God, I had the biggest grin on my face when I read that. ♥ Gah, I have SO much I wanna talk to you about on this! Stupid time zones.

That drabble is beautiful. You have the most stunning descriptive imagery. A girl could dream, but she would not realistically expect to touch the imperturbable boy who had too many possessions to give a damn about any single one of them. I loved that. I mean, yeah, it is inconclusive, but the way it was written was just ... mmm. Like tiny spoons of my favorite ice cream. ;)

By the way, I have some ideas for Napkins (both stories, I think, plus a new one) so I'll work on that later. Just letting you know. :)

I'VE FINISHED!

Yes she is! *rails* What a bitch. Then I forgot about her, since she really wasn't that important. Same here; I thought Starling as all cool and everything, but then she just became annoying, spilling everything for Fitz.

(I HAVE SO MUCH TO TALK TO YOU ABOUT)

Nighteyes - oh, my GOD. He was AMAZING. Am *SO* glad he didn't die. And yes, I did indeed love the conversations with the Fool. *giggles* Also liked the one when he was counting Fitz's "I'm sorry's" - and Nighteyes was so sarcastic and witty. <333 And the final battle, and VERITY. OMG. ♥ VERITY.

But, to be honest, I was kind of disappointed at the end. Just a tad. Like, he had gone through SO MUCH and the end didn't seem as rewarding as it could have been. Burrich and Molly... *shakes head* I never liked Molly, but Burrich I loved. It doesn't really bother me that he ended up with Molly, damn if he didn't need some happiness, but I was really, really hoping he'd go back to Patience. What I really, REALLY wanted though was for him to meet Fitz again, and I guess that's now impossible.

Did not slip my notice that "fool's errand" was mentioned twice in the final book ;) I really can't wait to read that trilogy. Fitz and Nighteyes are in them, right? *hopeful*

*sheepish* Thanks! I might use it later in a longer fic. I wrote that, trying to make some observations about Draco and Ginny in hopes that in the end, I'd be inspired to conclude chapter three of "Economy." *sighs* Nope, didn't work. But I've been distracted with writing, what with rereading the trilogy :D

Cool, I can't wait to see what you write! All the words and ideas are kind of just stuck in me, so hopefully that'll break the dam or whatever.
