Even without the canon devastation that was the conclusion of "Spy In The House Of Love", this twist became devestating in a whole new way.
That kinda snuck up on me as I was writing it. Like, I started off, and I was all, This won't be nearly as traumatic! And then by the end, I felt sort of sad & exhausted & almost glad she sucked his brain out. At least that way they aren't being smothered by secret murder and lies!
You know how I am about Dominic and Topher, so all the little bits of how thoughts of Topher sort of clung to him afterwards, how he regretted it and yet didn't - I got flaily. In my soul.
OH, I HAD TO DO THAT. Mostly because even imagining it to write it freaked me out so much that I was like, 'Damn it, Dom, this is very difficult for me on an emotional level, you better suffer!' 'Cause sure, they were foes, but they were special foes! A foemance for the ages! It scares me how hardcore Dominic gets in that scene where he fights Echo -- it's just like, this guy is fierce and unstoppable. (Except for the part where she stops him.) It was fun-yet-sorta-depressing to try to channel that.
