Fanfic Rec Wednesday – The Debt

This week, I’m recommending The Debt by Ta Paixao (@Ta_Paixao). Read it here on fanfiction.net.

It was completed this past December is what I would call a medium length fic at 47 chapters and roughly 153,000 words.

It had been awhile since something came along and played with my emotions. I was so ready for it. I am a sucker for inked up Edwards with emotional problems and this one is both to perfection. My heart bleeds for this one.

Another thing I really loved about this story was Ta’s Bella. I think as a fandom, we are so swoony over Edward that we tend to focus on him and let our Bellas remain underdeveloped or non-descript. It worked for Stephenie Meyer because we all wanted to put ourselves into Bella’s place. But at this point, it’s getting old. I want a Bella with a personality and to actually be worthy of all Edward’s perfection. This Bella has it. She isn’t “perfect” in the sense that most Bellas are. She has flaws and emotional problems of her own – but she’s also strong and doesn’t put up with Edward’s crap. She’s real. I admire that. 

The Knave of Hearts Moving to Storybrooke

Looks like Once Upon A Time is already gathering up some of the defunct Wonderland cast with the Knave of Hearts set to visit Storybrooke next year. Actor Michael Socha appears to be slated as a series regular next year. Read the complete article at Entertainment Weekly.

It will be interesting to see what other cast members head for the Enchanted Forest next year. Any thoughts?

OAUT - "Quiet Minds"

“Quiet Minds” was a shocker on so many levels, it makes you wonder what sort of tally system the writers use to keep score with. The ripples of this episode will be felt through the season finale I am sure and it will definitely embed itself into some of our favorite characters.

Crazy Rumple is not a pretty sight. That said, let’s move on to the rest of the episode.

I was a bit surprised that Emma admitted wanting to return to her pretend life in New York City to both Neal and Charming. After a few years of magic, curses and a host of villains you would have thought she’d get it by now. Nothing is going to be easy for the savior and as soon as she figures this out her life might actually be kind of fun and Henry would probably be happier too.

Regina recognizes her chance at true love and walks away. This was very intriguing because it makes you wonder, is she scared this isn’t going to work and her heart will be broken or is she scared one of her many enemies will find out and use him against her? Robin doesn’t look like the walking away kind of guy so it should be fun watching this play out.

The journey in the Enchanted Forest to uncover the “tomb” of the Dark One certainly peeled back a relative circus of writing opportunities. Neal wants to find his father only because he thinks Rumple can get him back to Henry and Emma – totally ignoring the fact that Emma pretty much told him there was no chance with her – and appearing a bit selfish in the pursuit. Belle, on the other hand, just wants her guy back.

Now, I’m not saying Neal’s death wasn’t tragic but again, I go back to the writers and that mystical tally board thinking whose death would serve the greatest purpose.

The Wicked Witch knows exactly what she is doing. She cut Rumple deeper and faster than any blade by sinking his son into his consciousness. Zelena also knew that by ripping him away she would shackle any thoughts of Rumple trying to escape. He is battered and beaten.

Now, with the showdown coming between Evil and Wicked it will be interesting to see if the Dark One’s blade turns back into his hands.

And who else thinks Snow’s baby is going to have a wee touch of green?

Winter is Coming

Five days and counting, and Game of Thrones is back!!! It feels like an eternity since the infamous Red Wedding...In the spirit of the start of the new season I thought it would be fun to rehash some of the crazy moments of last season. I thought it would be fun to do a top ten list, so here goes....

10. Walder Frey - Please refrain from ever including him in your wedding plans, he has a history of inviting people to a wedding and murdering them all at the reception. At least he waited till their bellies were full of food and wine

9. Samwell Tarly - He may appear timid, but do not underestimate Sam. He saves babies and women - so he's a pretty cool guy!

8. Theon Greyjoy - No one has pissed me off more then Theon. He completely betrayed Robb Stark by conquering Winterfell, thereby forcing Bran and Rickon into hiding to save their lives. However, despite my dislike for Theon, the Bastard son of Bolton sure knows hows to torture and torment Greyjoy.

7. Melisandre - Now she is one cray cray character. Seducing Gendry (who is a little too young for her), and then putting leeches on him to extract his blood...she's just creepy

6. Oleena Tyrell - She's the feisty Grandmatriach of Margaery and Loras Tyrell. She is not the person to mess with, and she will not bat an eye to put anyone in their proper place.

5. Ygritte - She's foul-mouthed, fierce, and a wildling. And she sure has fallen for Jon Snow...But seriously, who wouldn't! It was a HOT scene, seeing them strip all those layers and furs off, for some real HEAT.

4. Margaery Tyrell - Joffrey's fiancée who knows how to play the game. I think she'll be a force to reckon with in the upcoming season. She doesn't just want to be a queen...she wants to be The Queen. Cersei look out!!!

3. Jaime Lannister - I have to admit despite his good looks, I despised his character in the beginning. But in season 3, we got to see a more endearing side to him, a more human side, we got to hear his story...that was the game changer.  Too bad the Kingslayer had to lose his hand, however one hand lost is not going to stop a Lannister!

2. Arya Stark - She is by far one of the most engaging characters, since the beginning of the series. She's had everything taken from her, and at the end of the season it was Arya (after journeying for so long to find her family) that witnesses the murder of her brother and mother.

1. Catelyn & Robb Stark  - Murdered at the wedding of Edmure and Roslin Frey, by the hands of Frey's men. It was a shocking, emotional roller coaster. Also included in the slaughter was Robb's wife Talisa. There was no mercy, as they paraded around Robb's decapitated body with the head of Robb's wolf. A moment of silence for the Starks

So that is my top ten. Feel feel to post your favorite scenes or characters, or what you're most looking forward to in the upcoming season.
