Seeker Fic

[dreiser]

I've been working on it since my last post. It's getting pretty long and is basically a one shot dealing with Cara and Dahlia's time in the Mord'Sith told from Dahlia's point of view. Just because not many fics I've read go into Dahlia's head and I sort of like examining the different types of Mord'Sith if that makes sense. Cara being a fierce fighter and leader but Dahlia being more a tactician and planner. Still a leader, but relying more on brains than brawn. Trying to put it so they're equally powerful but their strengths lie in different areas.

Putting Triana in the fic for jealousy aspect and for fun. Hopefully it turns out good.

Vaguely considering writing an AU where Zedd reverses the spell of undoing and it brings them all back to the point where Dahlia finds Cara but with the knowledge of everything that happens. Cara being broken, Dahlia's death, and at that point Dahlia switches side to stay with Cara. Not sure if I want to invest the time in it though. I do like the idea of writing a longer AU fic for them though where they get a somewhat happy ending.

A happy ever after story for the Mord'Sith seems a contradiction but I so want to write it. lol. I kind of like the idea of Dahlia traveling with them and the gang is all super wary of her and protective about Cara while being simultaneously baffled by the ease Cara and Dahlia's relationship. How they're able to know what the other is thinking with near blank expressions and making nondescript sounds and such. Plus you've got the whole, Cara loves Kahlan but she doesn't love love Kahlan, and Kahlan confessed her best girl in a moment of revenge Cara rage, making Dahlia wonder exactly what's between them, which would be an interesting dynamic to explore.

Still, I won't start plotting anything out until after the series/season finale. I might fill one or two of those spooning prompts though.

My definition of "happy ending" for those two is being alive and together living in domestic bliss. I don't care if its in a Mord'sith temple or following Richard god knows where. They just have to be together, NOT DEAD and sharing their compassion only with each other.

Your scenario with Dahlia traveling alongside the merry gang is so intriguing. And the Kahlan/Dahlia dynamic is built on mass potential win! I'm trying to control my premature squeeage.
