Dreams are weird. This thing could rupture universes by will alone and cause stars to supernova by looking at them. Its galaxies were breathtaking works of art. Somehow it knew I pitied it and that pity was an insult. For all its power it just didn’t have that spark required for life. Like having all the ingredients for a recipe but still somehow missing a vital component. Sorta like wanting to make a pizza but not having an oven. It said life was pointless but I’ve never known the answer so inherently. I said the point of life was to live. That it had no right to insult even a single living cell. Since they just by existing were doing what they were meant to. Its worlds were beautiful. In a sad sorta away for the one thing they all had in common was that they were devoid of life and always would be. It is the height of tragedy that all that beauty and breathtaking views were for it and it alone. And I couldn’t help but pity it.

Thomas the Rimmer – a re-telling of the ballard of Thomas the Rhymer where the Queen of Elfland gets her asshole licked a lot.

In case anyone is confused, someone made a request for a copy of the story to be sent to them, that post was hidden and I then deleted it, as I will with all such requests.

What you said makes sense. Characters are people, and people are not the same. I know a couple who started off as a one night stand, and have been together for twenty years. I know another couple that held off for years, and then broke up after having sex. My cousin and his wife rarely argue over anything, and all my neighbors do is argue. I need to think in terms of what is right for the characters, and not worry about what anyone else has to say. Thank you.

Ah, you’ve stumbled on to the great mystery of fiction with any relationship, because there is no true answer. It depends on the writer’s intentions and the specific characters. You seem to have already done some thought, and THAT fits these characters, Another story may have a different answer. Try not to worry about how it will seem to others, the first person you need to please is yourself. (And a writer can do either extreme if set up right)
