[Gabriel Knight]

...people bash Grace? D: But Grace is amazing! The games would never even have happened without her!

Now that's just sad, anon. Almost cancels out my happy that there even is Gabriel Knight fic at all.

OP

Sadly, that's what happens in several Gabriel/von Glower fics I have read. :T In one she was turned into something close to a psycho who only wanted to keep Gabriel for herself no matter what HE wanted, in another she was dismissed after a few paragraphs (if I remember correctly, she was also treated as though she had no idea at all what she was doing with the whole theatre plot, which of course in the fic backfired horribly because she didn't know what the hell she was doing) and then was pretty much ignored until the end. In yet another one she was portrayed pretty well, even helping von Glower and Gabriel along... and at the very end it turned out she was actually still planning on killing von Glower, which utterly disappointed me because otherwise the fic was great.

Overall, with few exceptions, if she's not bashed she's either ignored (as if not being paired up with Gabriel cancels out the fact she's a very important person to him, a great ally and a friend) or treated like she doesn't know a thing about how wonderful von Glower is because she's prejudiced or something. Nevermind he is a werewolf and, canonically, also hunted people at least at some point of his life; which is something he apparently never gets to be confronted about.

Not to mention how demonized she is in some fics for keeping von Glower's letter from Gabriel. I'll admit it wasn't the best thing she could do, but she was worried and under pressure and had the best intentions. Von Glower himself was manipulating as hell with Gabriel, and gets no blame at all for it. A pity, because he's such an interesting character that it would be so much fun exploring his flaws, too. He's far from being a saint.

Man I ended up ranting here.

Dude, I totally agree with you about Von Glower being manipulative...I can't believe people make Grace out to be the bad guy there. Actually, knowing shippers, it doesn't surprise me at all.

(Anonymous) 2011-12-14 01:54 am (UTC)(link)
Yay, Gabriel Knight!

I agree with everything. Grace is awesome. And now I have an urge to write fic for this game.

(Anonymous) 2011-12-14 11:41 am (UTC)(link)
There can't ever be enough GK fics, so it would be great if you gave in to the urge. No, really, give in. You know you want to. :D

OP, have you read this (http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6618002/1/Duality) fic? It's an AU that starts at the end of the second game, and it does a FANTASTIC job with the exact issues that you mentioned.

(Anonymous) 2011-12-14 11:47 am (UTC)(link)
I hadn't even thought of checking for GK fics on FF.Net to begin with, so no. Thanks for the link!

Wow, I'm just happy to see a GK secret!

But yeah, it sucks that that happens to Grace. Hardly surprising though.

Grace FTW. i loved GK. where are you finding fic for it?

(Anonymous) 2011-12-14 04:49 pm (UTC)(link)
I found it scattered in several sites and I forgot about some, but here are a few places where you can find some GK fic:

The GK section on FF.Net (http://www.fanfiction.net/game/Gabriel_Knight/)

This community: [livejournal.com profile] gkfanfic

The Gabriel Knight Fanfiction Archive (http://hosted.ray.easynet.co.uk/gk/fanfic.html)

A couple of stories here (http://www.trickster.org/llwyden/gk/index.html). I like the NC17 one. I'd love to like the Christmas one, too, but sadly there's some Grace bashing in it. I <i>think</i> there should be a prequel to it explaining why Gabriel is hating Grace's guts, but I couldn't find it.

This (http://krss.rilngard.net/fics/graypath1.php) is a Gabriel/von Glower fic I loved until the last line, which was a disappointment and kind of ruined it for me - but I do a pretty good job at pretending said line doesn't exist.

Here (http://archiveofourown.org/tags/Gabriel%20Knight%20-%20Character/works) are some other Gabriel Knight fics.

I have to admit my first reaction to this was "Woah, there's GK fic out there?!" and now it's... D: at the fact that people bash Grace, because I think she's amazing.
