Instead Rachel, their own warrior princess in all but leather skirt and shining chakram, had exited the stage in the final act- stealing the remainder of Tobias's lines and dimming Jake's spotlight on her way out.
I just... wow, that last paragraph. This is actually making me tear up (only genuinely emotional things do that, and it's due as much to the perfection of Marco and Rachel's characterisation and the quality of your writing as to the angst).
OH, and Turin (in my icon!) is perfect for this fic! ;)
I'm glad you dug this up- I forgot how much I loved this piece. (As I remember, it practically wrote itself.) THIS is my favorite headcanon for unrequited Marco/Rachel in the 'ship that never sailed' sense.
Hmmm... Now I'm tempted to try and bring back the 'verse in my head... Thanks for the kick-start!
Your icon is ♥ AND applies to wayyy too much of my Ani-fic. What's he from?
I adore unrequited Marco/Rachel when it's done well. That way I can keep Tobias in the picture but still have Marco wishing for Rachel (yeah, I'm sorry, Marco, I like my angst.)
Oh, please, please bring it back! XD This is such a beautiful piece.
It's Túrin from the Silmarillion by J.R.R. Tolkien. I won't spoil it for you, but at one point he goes around calling himself "Túrin, Master of Doom" (doom as in 'Fate'), trying to change his destiny. At the end when his fate finally catches up with him despite his best efforts, someone else calls him, "Master of Doom by doom mastered," and this icon is a play on that. Because the amount of angst in this guy's story/life is unbelievable. You think Tobias is emo? He has nothing on this character.
Ahhhhh interesting. Now the two of them meeting would *obviously* make for wonderful crack fic then, yes? ;)
Well... not those two, since they're such different characters. But Tobias and Maglor? HELL YES they'd be perfect. Maglor is an Elf who basically wanders around the shores of Earth for (well, probably millennia if some timelines/fanon theories are to be believed), playing his harp in lament for something that happened several centuries ago. It's pretty much him wangsting about something he and his family did eons ago. Admittedly it had some VERY serious consequences for certain people (including him), but for Eru's sake, get over it and go and have... a pina colada, or whatever the Eldarin equivalent is! *shakes him*
*ahem* Allow me my Silm fangirling. And oh god now I want Maglor/Tobias fic, with alcohol involved.

You know, there seems to be a large crossover of R/T to R/M fans that fit this model exactly. *nods*
It is officially added to my fandom check list!
