top 5 theories for Alecto that definitely won't happen. bonus points for how unrealistic they are
ngl anon i have been just sitting on this because literally anything could happen in AtN...... Tamsyn Muir could be like actually, this is all an elaborate role play happening inside a Build A Bear and I would be like ok whatever you say boss. but here's an attempt
Gideon and/or Harrow goes Full Violent Revenge (on John). Just does not seem in line with the messages and themes of the book series, nor their characterization!!!
John is killed in general. Again, does not seem in line w the messages and themes and characterization. If John is dying it is bc he's lying down next to Alecto and they're going full In A Week by Hozier
Gideon and Harrow become the New Gods or otherwise become involved in Fixing The World after John. I don't think either of them would enjoy it, I think GIDEON would be particularly bad at it, I think they both deserve better. I also dislike this trope in general like the promotion to incompetence of it all. let them rest.
The ending of the book involves a new type of Lyctorhood with Gideon and Harrow. I just do NOT think that is where the story is going. every shade of lyctorhood, EVEN Paul, is portrayed as something violent and terrible and ruinous. there is no "Perfect Lyctorhood" bc that is an oxymoron, Lyctorhood is an inherently violent thing. No saving it etc
Ianthe dies. putting this in here bc i'm delusional
