(no subject)
So we've settled things with the Halliwells. I should've trusted them and known they wouldn't do things without good reason (or in this case, outside influence). Then again, it's not like they haven't done anything completely inexplicable or out of character before, have they? The Avatars can influence human minds, as obvious by their vision of Utopia, and they manipulated Leo to give them an opening to the Charmed Ones. Now the Avatars are gone, hopefully for good this time. I will never forget what they did to Phoebe, even if they claim it was an accident, and if they cross my path.... I don't have the power anymore to destroy them, but I will sure as hell try.
Our anniversary would've been this month. I'm trying not to dwell on it...it's not fair to Morrigan, and it's not fair to me, either. I know Phoebe would want me to move on and live my life. I will never forget her and all she brought to my life, and I just hope one day I can see her again and that wherever she is now, she's happy.
Leo and I have never been especially close, but I told him should the Elders decide to try to enact any sort of punishment as Piper fears, I would help defend him. I'm sure a demonic lawyer will go over well with the Elders, but I'm proof of what the Avatars are capable of -- bringing someone to the point where they have little choice but to agree to become one of them. And all the good Leo's done surely outweighs this. Without him there would be no Charmed Ones. Without him there would be no Elders.
I think Morrigan would be happier closer to the Halliwells. We could live anywhere and she could shimmer to the manor, of course, but there's a kind of simple pleasure in being able to walk up the street with the kids for a visit. So we've started talking about moving to San Francisco. Things have been extremely quiet around Angel Investigations, and I can be in LA in a heartbeat if Angel needs me, so...why not? The house across the street is for sale, but considering the Stillman sisters used it as their base of operations, I don't think even the Power of Three could cleanse the eau de skank. Still, the price is good, no doubt due to all its prior occupants continually dying mysteriously. There are other houses in the neighborhood; perhaps we'll check them out this weekend.
And I think now is as good as a time as any to set this journal aside. I want to concentrate on my family now -- taking care of Brenna, spending more time with Balor. The mighty Belthazor, raising a family. Who would've thought it?
OOC:
Sadly the time has come to end this story. There had been plans for a big finale across the Sockverse, but those in charge of writing it had real life get in the way. So we did our best to wrap things up here ourselves. While we've obviously deviated from show canon, we've always done our best to incorporate events from the show, and though we love(d) this show, sometimes the writers made it terribly difficult to explain events and character actions. Season Six? Nothing but pain, man, nothing but pain.
Special thanks to _paige_, _charmed_eyes_, chris_perry, charmed_phoebe, celtic_queen, darryl_morris, grams, prue_p3, whitelighterleo (and the many people who took their turn at our poor dolt), yancey, and all our NPCs for their parts in the story. We had a lot of fun writing plots and interacting with each other. And of course thanks to the rest of the Sockverse for letting us join in and mingling our worlds and plots (especially soulvamp, my secret love; evilhandissues, my other secret love, and mollyintraining, my secret closet love). Then there's the readers, who gave us motivation to entertain. Without you, we'd just be talking to ourselves.
I'm actually entertaining notions of a new Charmed-based game, maybe starting with S3 and going from there. If you are interested, drop me a line at coleturner1885 @ gmail.com with a writing sample and what characters you are interested in playing. (Some have already been claimed.) Pre-requisites would include good writing ability, a love of the show (well, what it used to be), a grasp of the character, and a burning hatred of Brad Kern, the true Source of All Evil.
Thanks again, everyone. It's been fun and I will certain miss our little version of the Charmedverse!
