Not to sound dark but if Cal and Maven both died, it would have been very poetic and the series would have made a full circle. Mare tells us in the first book that Maven and Cal are like Shadow and flame, one cannot exist without the other.

And if I said Mare Barrow is a beautifully written character who is not perfect, and did not deal with everything the right way, but she’s still a good person at her core and was only doing her best with the tools she was given. What then.
Forever obsessed with the Maven line "No, my darling. I just know you better than anyone else." because it's the only time he's ever used a pet name with her and it's so perfectly calculated for maximum discomfort. It's not just "darling", it's "MY darling", and the sentence itself is possessive and isolating. It's intimacy as performance, because at the end of the day, he doesn't actually know her as well as he thinks he does. But he NEEDS to believe it's true, because Mare might actually be the one who knows HIM more than anyone else. And if that's not mutual . . . what does that mean for him?
Inspired by @northernember 's reblog of my tiny Maven :>
Yeah my boy, go commit those war crimes >:3
Evangeline embodying the RQ fans during the Marecal VS. Mareven Shipping Wars in the late 2010s.
I'm not going to ask which ship you like more, but WHICH shipper did you guys get in heated debates with? (And feel free to share your stories in the comments)
Marecal (The Official Couple, the "Thief/Obviously" ship, the Heir x Rebel)
Mareven ("It's the only way you'll stay with me") dark love story (not romance)
if i were mare and cal wanted to shag me on the dirty, wet forest floor? especially for my first time? i would simply go back to maven. like goodbye but i've got to put me first.
