Eulogy

I think you are on to something. Someone on Twitter just pointed out that it looks like the symbol was painted across Crane’s grave in the pilot.

So, what are the odds, y’all, that SH is about to retcon the hell out of the Katrina storyline, without even naming her?

What if … what we end up getting is that what saved Crane in 1781 wasn’t really Katrina’s shitty witch powers at all, but the bond between Witnesses? Basically:  Abbie saved Crane, not Katrina and her coven?

I would lol forever.

strong female characters are allowed to have relationships, be it with a hero, an anti-hero, a villain, whomever.  being in a relationship DOES NOT diminish a female character’s strength or their agency.  a female character does not have to forever be a lone wolf in order to validate her strength. 

Nicole Beharie’s random tweets & instagram postings from the past months tells a story.

SLEEPY HOLLOW | A Pleasure from “Dawn’s Early Light" 

I hope you're right

My First (and probably last) SH Meta

So after tonight’s episode, and having thought through my initial feelings on it, I feel like this Danabbie thing is a parallel to the Zoe thing. She pointed out to Crane he was ready for more just not with her and I believe Daniel is going to come to the same conclusion. Bear with me, I have evidence to support my speculation.

In the preview pics we got for the next episode, there are a couple of Danabbie and one of Ichabbie that make me think that things are not going to be roses and sunshine for Abbie and Danny:

Pic number one:

This is not a happy face. They are having a conversation Abbie wasn’t expecting or wasn’t ready for. I’m thinking he really saw how her and Crane are together and he got it, even as she remains in denial.

Pic number two:

Looks like Danny is pointing out, like Zoe that he is not the one she really wants, which would also show immense character development for him. He’s been a bit self centered this whole season but him helping her realize her happiness lies elsewhere (hint hint Crane). Abbie also appears to be reluctantly accepting his conclusion. Still maybe not ready to turn to Crane but maybe more open to the idea than before.

Pic number three:

And lastly, but certainly not least, Crane seeming to sense things have not gone the way his fellow witness may have hoped. Abbie appears upset and resigned while he looks concerned.

I’m still not ready to accept, especially with all of the ship baiting we have been getting in 3b, that setting the stage for Ichabbie is not the endgame. Whether we will actually get it this season or, if there is a fourth season, I still have hope Ichabbie could still be endgame.

SH fans: Pandora!

SH writers: *reveals she was doing it for her hubby all along*

SH fans: WE WANT ICHABBIE!

SH writers: *danabbie, joenny, crane/interchangeable bland chick*

SH fans: Well we love Joe at least!

SH writers: *kills Joe*

SH fans: JUST DON'T BRING BETSY TO THE PRESENT FFS WE HATE HER

SH writers: ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Denial-Acceptance

So here’s the thing. Right now everyone’s fix-it fics, though they are lovely and beautifully written and heartfelt, are making me cry, because I do NOT accept any ending for Abbie (or Sleepy Hollow in general) that does not involve her LIVING and PREVAILING and getting to live a long and satisfying life. Damn it, Abbie should at least have what Buffy had at the end of Season 7–which for all the flaws of the last few seasons ended with its heroine smiling into a wide-open future.

Abbie lives. I refuse to believe anything else. Season 3 didn’t happen because 20-20 hindsight I can see it was nothing but setting up an ending I do not and will not accept. 

So who’s with me on the USS Denial? Point me to the fics, old and new, that show what SHOULD’VE happened. Help me come to a peaceful place of denial.

I will start the ball rolling with a link to a short piece I did over the winter that I fully admit is tooth-rotting fluff. I’m posting it because it’s chronologically the last thing I wrote for Ichabbie–a sort of epilogue to my Trust & Love set approximately 7 years from now:
