Best ending possible

mmebahorelSo grateful after the carnage of THD. The people I like are still alive (though poor Wantage), the new boy (Hanson) is surprisingly awesome, we finally get the Chilean thing, and Stephen isn't suddenly marrying Christine Wood. While Christine is absolutely perfect for him, I just don't see Stephen as being lucky enough to actually pull off twice marrying a woman that everyone will be asking "How did he get her?" Though with Clarissa actually remarrying (which I see as merely a need to get out of Sophie's house now that Diana is gone), anything could be possible.
But you know what's really sad? I never got the sickeningly happy Babbington/Fanny Harte marriage that I so desperately wished to see in passing. You know it happened. They were so bloody adorable. But we never got to see it, and that's sad.
I can't take this, really - the dedication to Trinity, which is where Himself died, is enough to reduce me to tears. He died at the right time, really, for the series, but it still hurts, you know? I was in this fandom as much as it was possible to be at the time. It's, in essence, a memory of youth - I was the squeaker back then. The days before the movie brought all kinds of young people into the fandom, for better or worse. (for better in terms of getting people to read the books, but I kind of think for worse in terms of fandom as a whole - the overwhelming movieverse slash is terribly disappointing to someone who takes so much note of the actual gay characters and finds Diana/Sophie to be slashier than Jack/Stephen.)
There are fireworks going on - I hear them. Are there usually fireworks in Silver Spring on the 3rd?
