Thank you so much for these links and compelling recommendations! I'm looking forward to them very much.

On Nanette? Yes, you're right, but in the end, as long as there's a sincere attempt at keeping the characters like themselves, I'm not going to quibble at where they end up romantically. Mostly. (Okay, okay, but my standard couple-faction quibbles totally fall under the rubric of "keeping the characters like themselves." ~g~)
>"I think the author didn't know Vachon's fate in AtA, or maybe she ignored it. It was always unclear anyway, and I like to think he dug himself up after a short period of time."
I used to read a lot more Vachon fiction, when I was close to a Vaq, and it seems to me that they always buried him with blood and then dug him up, except in the very rare cases of a pure Tracy mourning story.
I wrote the digging-up scenario myself once, but I left him in the ground for several years first! :-)
>"...feels like a case that was dealt with by the characters between the episodes."
Oh, I love interlude stories! They are my favorite fanfiction structure to read! Thank you.

"Me? No. Non. Don't be absurd. I have no nurturing instincts. What you're suggesting is insulting! Just because I shelter the new converts and protect them, shelter prostitutes and protect them, give free cover to sad -- I mean, pretty -- young girls with old souls, protect Natalie from her own foolishness (to a point), give the Raven into Lacroix's care to ensure a haven remains for the lost, and we won't even touch on the subject of eight centuries of Nicolas... no, I am just not the mothering type."
