If it helps, this is the scene it's taking place in (time 5:00-5:28) :p

When he saw that blaze in her eyes, he knew he should have been repulsed. Instead, he wanted her to drag him into her hell and let the fire consume him.This and the other line about Denna I think really harken back to that relationship, because Denna him love through suffering, and dear god, Richard's issues would trend toward that. The dangerous, the terrifying, the painful, these would hold powerful allures for him. It's even present with Kahlan, because her power is more dangerous than either Denna or Nicci's, or at least, at this point in the canon it seems so. I think this fic really ties together the complicated relationships Richard has with extremely powerful women, ( ... )

This was one of my favorite scenes EVAR, and I was dying to know what was going on inside his head. He just stood there. Nicci had just hurt Kahlan, and he just stood there while she came on to him. I had to know why.
I was on the fence about whether to include the line about Denna (this is why it takes me so long to write things - I agonize over each sentence or one word...:p), but I'm glad to hear you think it's a useful addition that ties everything together :)
I find it weird that even though Richard wasn't one of my favorite characters from the outset (I think that's changing very quickly, ESPECIALLY after a lot of things things you say about him), I find it easiest to get inside his head. I think I'd find it very difficult to write from Kahlan or Cara or whoever's perspective.
Thank you :D

I just realized Zedd cockblocked their sword/knife fight, too. He's so reliable.
*glee* at the fact it doesn't seem out-of-character - that's another reason it's hard for me to write fanfic - I just usually don't get the characters as well as I'd like, and I'm afraid I'll screw them up. Even Nicci. I can't really easily play around with her mind :p
I don't remember "Hartland" too well - for some reason I cannot get through that episode a second time, but yeah, I understand what you're saying ;)

Bound is one of my favorite eps.

If I touch her, I touch Kahlan, not Nicci. I will do this for Kahlan. Not for myself. Not for Nicci.
But that was a lie, and he knew it."
Perfect culmination of irrational cheating thoughts and the truth of the matter. As much as Richard would like to sway his heart to believe it's for Kahlan...or Nicci....it's really just for him.
*shrugs* who wouldn't want Nicci though?

Kind of ties in with the whole ~speech~ he then gave about "your strength is yours and yours alone." Could be "your heart - your lust - is yours and yours alone." Yes. You made me have a little thinky thought right now, thank you ;) *ponders*
