Internal Canon

[tir_synni]

Snape didn't die. He was just sleeping.

Zack didn't die. He was just sleeping.

There was no Harry/Ginny. Harry came out of the closet and remained his pissed off self and Ginny went on to kick some major ass.

The Weasley twins are fine! Just fine!

Squall didn't smile at the end of FF8. That's...just creepy.

Sam Winchester didn't get sent to Hell with Lucifer and Michael and he had his fucking happily ever after.

As did Castiel/Dean.

Cloud was a bamf pre-burning!Nibelheim.

Rinoa left the Garden to resume rebelling and Squall and Seifer hooked up (with equal amounts of sex and bloodshed).

Sheik is his own person.

Link and Zelda are related (which I think is hinted in OoT?).

Any Rinoa/Squall hook-up is Rinoa's magic unwittingly at work, probably due to the Knight thing.

Tifa had a crush on Aeris but was so deeply in the bi-closet even she didn't know it.

John Marcone has a crush on Harry Dresden.



And that's all I can think of right now. If you disagree with any of the above, that's perfectly fine. This is just my internal canon. :)

Oh, that pony show at EP? That was part to piss Harry off, and to remind the girls that Harry's a VIP regardless of how he looks.

Marcone has to be sure he own people don't set Harry up (believing he's a troublemaker well rid of), that other operations don't pick him off (little jab at John and the Outfit) and that the cops don't have much to stand on. Oh, and keep Harry in play.

I think he knows Harry's got at least one foot in a grave of despair. When there's that ruckus outside EP, John's sizing up where on the board Harry is.

Of course, all of this looks like Marcone's crazy to dumb criminals, and crazy like a mastermind fox to the smarter heads in the business.

I wonder what syllabus Hendricks has come up with over the years for Marcone. Machiavelli and Shakespeare are givemes. Probably sent Marcone to see Greek Tragedies rather than get him to read them. (John's read them after figuring out Hendricks doesn't hate him enough to send him to different productions without a good reason.)

*coos* I like that.

I think Marcone succeeds based on two things:one, he's physically damn fine at just about anything (though I still am a bit confounded at the description choice about his knife throw from the Houdini scene) and he is a good judge of people's handles and their psyches.

I know, he seems to hamfist with Harry. I think sometimes that's him playing 'fair' and yet also getting Harry doing what he wants. If he was subtle, Harry would figure it eventually and not just have a hissy fit but react as he does to serious threats. If Harry doesn't get it when John uses intimidation, well, can he really blame anyone but himself?

Any thoughts about Even Hand? It seems a little, off compared to the rest of Canon.

[tir_synni]

I'll have to reread it. I want to reread all of the books soon, anyway.

ICON LOVE.

Thanks on the icon squee.

I've been doing some meta along with soaking in the kink meme.
