I just read Two Hearts, which is the sequel for The Last Unicorn ♥ Of course, it's not as magical, and the ending is just painful because of poor Lir. Woe.
But still, I'm shameless and I loved it because Schmendrick and Molly are so canon and cute! It's just... damn, it's like one of the best canons I've had for a couple of mine, like, ever. I didn't expect it to be so in-your-face. Yeah, TLU's ending had some burning subtext -they leave together! by own choice! singing!-, but it skyrocketed to hypertext in this story.
a) Dude, it's been decades and they're still together travelling?
b) The touching and the embracing continue.
c) Endearing bantering, just how I like it. Molly is practical while Schmendrick lives in his little corner of dorky, masochistic weirdnessthat's what happens when you live a long time without aging; ask Clow and Eriol!.
d) MOLLY'S SPEEECH. She's all like "but sometimes I want us both to be immortal and shit so we could be forever like this D:" That's a NEON SIGN of canonness.
e) They're so married the narrator girl ships them!
Molly: you can't argue when he's like that ¬¬U
Sooz: but good wives don't argue their husbands :P
Molly: LOL! we're not married, we're just, er, together (<- actual word, says it twice)
Sooz: oh, but you look married
Molly: pft, I'm never marrying that dork, he eats in bed! XD
Schmendrick: *at Sooz* ^_~
No, really. It's just awesome for characterization and post-ending interaction. I think I'm obsessing over this pairing in an unhealthy way, but it's no surprise.
