Revan is crazy, dangerously crazy. Revan is not emotionally 'okay' after all that happens. It's not okay! He/She is a messed up individual in need of some long counseling sessions. Carth is not 'Mr. Fix-it' he can't make it all 'magical' disappear.
Oh yeah, I'm completely with you on this one. Don't get me wrong, I think that the Carth/Revan romance is a good one with a lot of interesting material to explore, but seriously, seeing Revan's issues glossed over in stories drives me absolutely crazy. It seems like some authors think that now that she's found love with Carth, everything will wine and roses. I don't think that it occurs to many people that her relationship with Carth could actually make things worse for both of them, especially with their extremely complex guilt issues. Not that it can't work out, but really a lot of characterization needs to happen for me to think that Carth and Revan actually have a chance.
