“Here is a truth that none but I know, and that I have not known until now: I love Ruven. I love the heretic who hates my gods and burned my kingdom down. He hates me, when he does not pity me, and I love him.”

[...] I notice how Ruven’s head and shoulders are bowed. The next moment, he begins to shake with a great, hollow laughter.

Then he says aloud: “This is the truth I have known for days but dared not think: I love the girl who cut my throat. She hates everything I hold dear, and I love her.”

The more I write Lucy Gray having "screen time" in my fic, the clearer it becomes to me that the movie simplified her and "prettied" her up a fair bit away from the book in ways that make me sad. In the book, she can be a bit of a freak (affectionate) and frank about killing (when necessary to survive) and the messiness of living.

There's her and Coriolanus having a far more frank conversation about their kills--and her desire to kill Coral--in the book than in the movie, for example. And, as dkaluuyaegot has pointed out on Twitter, in the book Lucy Gray writes her love song, "Pure as the Driven Snow," for Coriolanus after he kills Mayfair:

She cares about trying to be a good person (trying to stay on the right side of the line between good and evil), but she's not legalistic, self-righteous, or rigid about that. She knows what it means to live in a broken world with a lot of bad options in front of you. She sees it as a struggle and one where you will be pulled all over as you try to walk a decent path --she doesn't think we get out of the mess of living clean, none of us-- and what is decency to her? I think she centers it in her Covey and their values:

"The Covey believe you’re put on earth to reduce the misery, not add to it" (437)

Her morals aren't absolute rules so much as guidelines and orientations toward living. She's not naive (she knows damn well they live in a dystopia) and she's not drawn to outside authority structures, apart from her Covey, or direct political action, so she's pretty independent and matter-of-fact minded about things.

The movie makes it seem more "good girl falls for bad boy" and that's really not it - they're both pretty gray, and well matched in that, before he crosses over into the darkness. The main, important difference is that she is pretty gray as a conscious choice with clear lines--her personal and Covey ethical guidelines--and he was gray because he was torn and in the process of deciding.

re: the lie. If he'd told the truth, it's interpretable what she would have done in the end, but I think it's pretty clear that Lucy Gray would have, at minimum, heard him out and certainly not turned him in. Turning anyone in to the Peacekeepers seriously goes against her values.

Coriolanus is a brainwashed Lawful Neutral dumbass before he breaks bad and he thinks if there's order and rules a system must have some legitimacy to it, but Lucy Gray knows better. She knows these authorities exist to impose wrong, not right. There's no justice to be found there, and handing someone over to them is adding more wrong to the world.

"I hope she ends up with someone better and lives happier out there "

HA No! I am too far gone with this ship to imagine them with someone else even in the saddest scenarios. I yearn too obsessively for them to be together, even in just their thoughts, in whatever universe they end up in. I want them miserable for each other. Happier for each other. Suffering because of each other. Free with each other. Trap with each other. I want their best and worst fate to be each other. Two souls too intertwined, mangled and ruined for anything else.

She gave him a wistful smile. “Sure would’ve been nice to meet you under different circumstances.” “Like how?” It was a dangerous line of questioning, but he couldn’t help himself. “Oh, like you came to one of my shows and heard me sing,” she said. “And afterward you came up to chat, and maybe we had a drink and a dance or two.” He could imagine it, her singing somewhere like Pluribus’s nightclub, him catching her eye, connecting before they’d ever even met. “And I’d come back the next night.” “Like we had all the time in the world,” she said.
