Well there you go. Fanfiction usually does those things for shipping reasons rather than because the story is better for it, so I don't like seeing it in fic.

Way to write off whole ships and stories. Yes, complete 180 villain redeeming is annoying because it comes out of nowhere and is purely done because the writer thinks two characters are hot together.

But there are stories where the author manages to keep that original core that made the villain so great to start with. They end up being my favorite stories to read and some of my greatest challenges to write, because they do straddle a thin line.

And a lot of time the change isn't 100%. They can't fully let go of their selfish and/or destructive tendencies. They die. The hero realizes despite the passion isn't enough to make a relationship last.

That's what's making the ending of mine so difficult because I wanted to create something that ended happily, only I can't. Because it is a copout and the story is better for his death.

On the other hand, thank you. I think I know what ending I'm going to go with despite the fact that it will probably piss off half the people who end up reading it.
