Wow, I missed this fic... and I'm so torn between morbid curiosity and the desire to keep my sanity. Okay, morbid curiosity wins. Where did you read this story?
Now don't get me wrong, I'd be willing to accept an unfaithful Morgana if it was done well. (I'd definitely be tempted if I was left alone all the time with my young son, even if my husband WAS Carth Onasi :P)
Oh yeah, word on that one. I mean, it had to be hard for her, and I could easily see this happening, but it sounds like the author was using it to demonize Morgana. I noticed, actually, a lot of resentment towards Morgana's existence way back in the Onasi Order in it's original incarnation on the Bioboards. There was an awful lot of resentment that Carth had been married before, which I found so amazingly strange.
But why does it always have to be that she was a lesser person than Revan? (Which you can never do, no matter how much of hen-picking harpy you turn Morgana into. Revan DESTROYED WORLDS, KILLED THOUSANDS, tried to TAKE OVER THE GALAXY BY BRUTE FORCE. Morgana's going to win this one no matter what.)
Oh, no doubt. That's why the comparison just kills me.
Why does it have to be that he loves Revan X amount of times more than he ever loved Morgana?
There was once a discussion back on the Bioboards where a lot of women insisted that Revan was a better match for Carth than his wife (who we really know nothing about – except what we make up about her), because both Revan and Carth had bonded over an intense quest in a battle like situation, so Revan could understand Carth in a way that Morgana never could... *insert eye roll here* They also insisted that if Revan had met Carth while he was still married, that he would leave Morgana for Revan (despite the fact that it would be seriously out of character for him to do something like that).
I think the problem is that these posters buy into the whole one true love idea, and it is really, really hard to be someone's one true love, if he's been married before... They also see themselves as Revan, so they don't like the idea of the competition.
Btw: you need to write some Morgana, Rose. I totally want to see your version.
