Apparently, constant posting is my default mode now

I got tired of beating on my NaNo (... not gonna post a word count update; too depressing) and went to finish reading Turn Coat instead, which means that now I'm even MORE depressed. Not in a seriously depressed kind of way, I mean; just more of a "wow, I really need some kittens and puppies now" kind of way.

I did have an interesting thought, though. I suppose this is too obvious to need stating, but if Ebenezar is Margaret's father, then that makes him Thomas's grandfather as well as Harry's ...

OH MAN I WANT TO SEE THE SCENE IN WHICH THEY FIND OUT. XDDD In addition to everything he says in Turn Coat about vampires and the inherent evilness thereof, Ebenezar is like ... the anti-Thomas. They'd annihilate each other on contact! But they're both almost fanatically loyal and protective of family. The cognitive dissonance is going to be AWESOME. (And I must say the idea of Ebenezar going all protective-grandfather over BOTH his grandsons is kind of awesome too; goodness knows Thomas could use someone else in his corner who's not evil and/or crazy.)

Except I'm not precisely sure how they're going to find out, since the only person who knows both of their secrets is, well. Dead.

Think I'll go take a shower and try to get my NaNo plot to shuffle into something that makes sense.

Now that I know occurred to me before, and I am waaaay curious about how it's going to turn out - because it has to sometime, and yeah, like you say, the cognitive dissonance should be fascinating! I think Family will win out in the end, but...rough road getting there?

I had a moment of OMG!.. that's going to have major repercussions when the big reveal of Harry and Thomas' conenction happened. When the even bigger reveal of Harry and Ebenezar's actual connection happened it was like..."oooooooh, messy, messy...". It will certainly get *interesting* before it doesn't:D.

I have to say though there are quite definately a couple of ways that the cat can be let out of the bag, the most obvious being the usual trope of "two enemies working together to solve the problem" aproach and the inevitable "why are you doing this?" conversation between Ebenezar and Thomas.

Or there will be the two people who should be enemies fighting side by side, and old Ebenezar has an actual *looks* at Thomas and notices his genetics. A lot of people don't notice because they aren't looking so can't "see". I often wondered why people didn't notice th esimilarities between the two when they are together, I have put it down to Thomas's vamp glamour and Harry's general air of unkempt street bum:D:D:D:D

But yes in general I think it is getting to the point where one or the other will "give the game away" to the other who will then put the pieces together.

It is quite an interesting little plot hook.

I'm still lots of books away from Turn Coat, but what has you depressed has me worried. *valiantly tries to avoid reading the spoiler-y part* I'm happily reading my way through Storm Front by now - or rather, I'm devouring it while clinging to the edge of my seat. *g* It's certainly not very relaxing, but lots of fun. Discovering it is actually possible to find some h/c in a book outside the realm of fanfiction had me squeeing. I'll order the next two books now and then I'll go back to reading. Good luck with your NaNo!
