Donia is on of my favorite characters of all time, along with Seth, and Leslie, and Niall, and Sorcha, and Sorcha's sister who's name escapes me. However, Aislinn got pretty annoying in Fragile Eternity, very whiny, very annoying. But Donia is at the very top and I think that her rejecting Keenan put feminism ahead about a century. Very good example to set for impressionable young minds like mine. This is really short but who gives a shit, I'm lucky if anyone reads it! Or at least this author's note for that matter. I'm going to do another fiction soon probably on Keenan begging for forgiveness! :)

It's a matter of pride really; the choice to not be with him. He took me for granted, in fact, in some ways Seth was in the same position as I was. If Seth was a woman I'd say (s)he was rather feminist at that moment he made Aislinn choose, luckily she chose right.

I could still feel his sadness, perhaps a side-effect of my Winter Girl past. Or perhaps a side-effect of my love for him--my unhealthy love for him. I deserved better than that, than him. Even if it takes an eternity, I can't be with a man unless he respects me, unless I'm his first choice. I may not be perfect, but I sure as hell am worth that.

It's been a decade. Aislinn and Seth are still close, and Aisleen and Keenan are hardly even tempted by each other anymore. Keenan has been celibate, though. He claims that he is focusing solely on his people, and although that may be part of it, it's not the whole truth. For one, he's tired of it. 900 hundred years is a long time to still be having flings. Second, his pride is wounded, something I can relate to. Third...well I don't know third. Honestly, I'm in love with that man and I still couldn't understand him even if I spent an the rest of my existence studying him.

Sometimes I feel like that annoying girl on that "Grey's" show. You know, when she says, "Pick me, choose me, love me." I couldn't possibly relate to a TV character more.

I haven't moved on though. Like him I'm distracting myself, with my fey and my semi-friendship with Niall. I'm not friends with Aislinn, though. It's impossible while she's still friends with Keenan, while she's still his queen.

While I'll never be.
