It just feels cheap. Might be that I'm tired, but the story was ramping up, they were making plans and KAISER! Okay, now we have some more tension, how will they deal with this? Will it be a long struggle where they have to carefully gather information and allies? Or will they manage a quick beheading of the E88 with a plan somehow? Nope, PtV.
Janet is a new character.
Hm... She'd be more likely to get a thinker power than anything related to Kaiser, seeing as she's spent no time around him, and it's proximity, not blood, that causes buds.
Basically my thoughts on this entire subplot. Kaiser finds out about Andrea and Annette and immediately tries to get them back in the most ham-fisted way possible. Immediately resorting to threats, without even a token attempt at getting together willingly. It's not entirely out of character considering the entitlement issues Max seems to have in this fic, but it is disappointing when I was expecting something more subtle.
And then Andrea will seduce the twins, and Danny will end up with ALL of Max's former conquests...
Taylor: I'm not hearing this. TMI.
There was a token effort. Remember? He offered her a new place, a better position in the company.
Really thought Theo was going to Trigger there.
You may be mistaking Security! with canon.
It was less an offer, and more Max telling Andrea that she now had a new place and better position. He clearly had no intention of taking no for an answer either way, but he skipped over the part of actually asking.
If you are surprised by that, you don't understand Max's character. This is exactly how I would have imagined him reacting.
I specifically said "It's not entirely out of character considering the entitlement issues Max seems to have in this fic," my complaint is that the "token effort" of getting Andrea to come back willingly is written in such a way that even if she had considered Max her true love and had been pining away after him ever since they were separated she would likely still hesitate after the way Max acted. No reasonable person would react well to "We're getting back together after not seeing each other for decades, and of course you agree, so I'm not even going to bother asking first."
Max is kind of arrogant, on top of being excited to have finally found her again, so I don't have too much trouble believing that, I think.
Jamie Lannister would have no problem with this.
Is there anything stopping Theo from continuing to check out Annette? Besides social taboos.
He'd have to endure the men from Maine jokes.
Unless both the Marquis x Iron Rain = Amelia theory and Marquis x Annette (Hebert) = Taylor crackship are both true, of course.
Well, at least he was nice enough to offer her a better place to live, a position as his 'personal assistant' (with concomitant pay raise) and a chance for Annette to go to a better school.
