changing Sparrow’s given name because I can, and also debating about changing her wish at the end of the game to Love because this whole playthrough she’s inhabited the middle ground on purity/corruption and good/evil, so would she actually have it in her to make that ultimate sacrifice if it meant having her family back...?

I mean, I’d probably go with it not going Quite Right and Alex and Thane remaining dead because Sparrow was so changed by the Spire that she couldn’t love them like she did before and so the Spire said ‘welp you don’t love them so they don’t count lmao’ but she gets Rose and Archie back. Except Rose is still a young girl and Archie is an old dog, and nothing is the same anymore. A few years later and he passes away all over again.

And sure, she fulfills Rose’s dream of living in a castle by taking over Castle Fairfax, but the tower haunts them and Rose can’t stand seeing all of Sparrow’s guns. For Sparrow, being a gunslinger is reclaiming her power from Lucien and turning it on him, but for Rose, guns remind her of the night she died and they’re terrifying to her. And eventually she grows up and sets out to make a life for herself, and Sparrow is alone again in this castle that she hates.

She wished for love only for it to slip through her fingers.

#fable 2 #sparrow #rose #i'll update sparrow's tag when i settle on a name but i just wasn't feeling aya anymore #but yeah her morals are 'don't be an arsehole. unless it gets in the way of kicking lucien's ass. then fuck morals do whatever you have to'#i don't think bringing people back even crossed her mind until theresa suggested it and her first thought was the people she loved #but yeah i have a lot of thoughts on sparrow's post-spire marriage with alex and fucking hell they should have just gotten divorced #alex spent ten years raising a son and waiting for a wife who wasn't coming back #sparrow came home. realised she wasn't the same anymore. and instead of breaking things off #she just. let him carry on hoping that the woman he married might come back #because she couldn't let go. because she hoped that maybe once lucien was dead that it would just go away #that maybe he could love her like he used to even though she was different #but he couldn't. and she couldn't. and thane's caught in the middle not understanding why his father isn't head over heels for this woman #like he is for the woman in his stories #and why sparrow can't quite look him in the eyes and disappears so quickly after coming back #he barely knows her when he's killed for being her's and fuck me if it's not all just so fucked up
