I am amused by the replies, simply because I didnt' read this as a cliffhanger, so the suspense was kinda...not there. But I get how it would be if I had, because you know, pretty used to cliffhangers. Perils of sci-fi.
I think I like Elizabeth's best, both dream and outcome, because I always wanted to have a revelation like that, in an instant, because of something, but my grand change in life happened over about two years, and I can't pinpoint when, exactly, I changed from designing for rich people to uncovered the hidden past of the world. But at least I went that way and not backwards, because that would just suck. Of course, when I told my parents, their reaction was less "I'm so proud; you're going to change the world" and more "are you insane? you think classics is going to pay the bills?" But then, my parents are kinda like that.
You know I love you right?
I promise my review of part 7 will be much much more about the fic and less about my choices in life.
