This is my first time relistening to the entire Dover/Channel Crossing, and oh boy has it been a wonderful, painful, bittersweet time.

Seeing Zolf struggle with his faith and his cult hurts now. And I know it gets much worse for him before it gets better, but it does get better for him. He finds another avenue for his faith, one that fits him better. One that allows him to save so many of his friends (and ultimately the world) on his terms. (And seeing the faith Hamid and Sasha put into him by joining him on the crossing).

Seeing Sasha make so many friends is so so wonderful. She’s got that awkward but genuine charm that draws good people in. And she does go on to connect with and help so many people (even though we only see a small part of that).

Seeing Barnes is so nice, and getting to know him as the straight laced commander is fun. All of the interactions with him are tinged with the knowledge that he will come back, for good and for painful. He genuinely wants to be friends with Sasha, and they would have been such good friends I think. But they never meet again. She would’ve loved the Carnes and Barter Barnes and Carter team up.

#ughhhh #just constantly thinking about the possibilities of sasha making it out of rome and connecting with all these people #rqg

Choose Your Own Adventure!

Barnes sits up, attention focused on the edge of the roof above his window. Carter sure is taking his sweet time.

He watches the edge of the roof for a moment longer, then gets on his hands and knees and crawls over. 

"Carter?" He says quietly, and springs back away from the edge as Carter's head pops up, all wide eyes and eager grin. 

"Take this," Carter says, and he's swinging a backpack over the eave and into Barnes's hands. 

"Uh-" 

"And move over so I've got room, c'mon." 

Barnes rocks back on his heels, enough so that Carter can scramble back up, take his pack and scoot back up the roof. The bag clinks with the telltale sound of glass bottles jostling together, and Carter dives right in. 

"Couldn't find it at first, thought maybe you'd already gotten to it for a moment. But then I was like, c'mon Carter, Barnes wouldn't do that, y'know?" He pulls a bottle out by its neck, and it's dark out here on the roof but Barnes can see enough, could recognise that silhouette anywhere. 

"You didn't," he says fondly, and can feel his cheeks burn with it. Only ever the best stuff with Carter, and he knows how to treat his team. Barnes takes the bottle from him, examining it slowly. 

"Go on, then. Rum's only as good as it is when you're drinking it." 

Barnes's grip tighten involuntarily, just for a moment. "Don't wanna save it for a special occasion?" 

Carter scoffs and he makes to swipe it, but Barnes pulls away. Carter's hand rests on his thigh for balance, just for a second, and then he's able to support himself again. "What's a specialler occasion than this? We cleared quarantine, the rain's let up just enough to see some stars. And there's just the two of us, don't even need to share it four ways."

So Duck and I both agree that Zolf would say he doesn't like pets but then also buy the cat a rain coat that happens to match his.

i'm in the middle of another relisten and my passion has been rekindled, especially so for this one annoying, dramatic, scoundrelly archaeologist, who you just cannot stay mad at. i really wish he and sasha had more chances to bond.

#it's himmmm 😩 #my guy #ohhh they could've gone to that pyramid and gotten the bat cloak themselves #none of the others ever needed to know #they could've done it!! ughg
