Ha! And you do know that nothing's ever going to match pilots for me either, right? Inasmuch as no other ship, or pairing, or, frankly, anything, is ever going to affect me as much as pilots, nor get me to a point where I am ok with what happened to pilots.
There is nothing, no amount of canon, or fic, or AU, or new ship - NOTHING - that is going to get me to a place where I can watch Daybreak (or UBEX for that matter) and go, "Oh, ok. Sure."
Never going to happen.
But given I thought I'd never be able to ship anything ever again post-pilots, that RDM had broken the shipper in me for good.... well, it was nice to find that wasn't the case.
Does Assassins make me ok with what happened to pilots? Pft. Not even close.
I guess Assassins aren't about 'fixing' pilots for me, but about mending my own poor little pilotshipper heart. About giving me something less painful with which to try and claw my way back to being a less angry and distraught fangirl/person. To (because I haven't been melodramatic enough already :s) allow me to process what happened, and move on to the acceptance and healing part of the stages of grieving. Maybe less of a 'recovery ship' after all, more a 'safe haven'? :)
Does that make any sense?
ETA: Oh and seriously? I'm gonna have to hit you up for Downton debriefing once that all kicks off again too... I'm simultaneously ridiculously excited and terrified at what they're going to do to them and I have noone else to talk to about it! :D
