This is what happens when there's a lack of Jilliam, and you don't think it will ever be fixed. Angst-o-rama, baby! Title: The Reckoning Author: Fallenbelle2 Rating: Teen for adult situations Spoilers: No specific episode, just general season 8 issues. Summary: "After everything they had sacrificed and went through to finally marry and be together, how the hell had this happened?" Genre: Angst, angst, and angst. Notes: Plenty of folk have written stories that sought to fix the lack of Jilliam in season 8, but I seem to have gone the opposite route in that I decided to embrace the angst. Part of me likes it as is, because I'm not sure the show is going to fix Jilliam, and I don't really like going too AU in my fics. Although, I'm sure you'll tell me that this needs subsequent chapters, I just don't know if I can do it. But I am working on it, and you may be pleasantly surprised. For now, the story is complete. www.fanfiction.net/s/11128175/1/ |

I highly recommend this fic even for people who dislike angst. It follows "captain obvious" shipper logic as to what the current Jilliam relationship is and how it works out in the minds of (sorry for the sweeping gender generalization) most female fans. While reading this, all I could think was: yup.  Hope to see the story continued with some ideas on how William and Julia can invent a "modern marriage" under the circumstances.  |

The concept of William and Julia's modern marriage has come up in several episodes this season. If they would only get on with putting these two in the same room for a few minutes we might find out what they think it is.  |

They have both actors available for any scene they want and yet they're (apparently) deliberately re-enacting the very thing that caused the Moonlighting curse. I truly think that someone working on this show has lost their senses. |

Holy bovine - that's the TRUTH! The writers went on and on about the Moonlighting Curse and then re-created it (COMPLETELY UNNECESSARILY) by separating William and Julia into two storylines.
You nailed it! Isn't there a name for a psych disorder where you are subconsciously driven to do the thing you are consciously trying to avoid at all costs?
Should we dub this the Murdoch Syndrome?

Sigh, I wanted to finish this fic before the cliffhanger/season finale in case it's one that makes me want to leave forever, but it's just not coming together. I've put so many hours into writing this sequel, but it's just not working. Anyone want to take a look at it and give me a push? Maybe this is a moot point...I don't want to say that I'm leaving the fandom for good tomorrow if Julia dies, but I think that's my dealbreaker. Sorry. I could feel different after it's done, but still, I'm nervous. |

As Helene Joy seems to be attending the screening tonight, I doubt if she dies in this episode! There would be a mob scene if that happened! I wonder if she will be in danger, though? I am off to the screening now. Very excited, and very nervous too! |

Though it might be more like Bastille day with people lifting Helene on their shoulders before they charged Black Fortress Shaftesbury!  |
