Poor Juliette. It WOULD be overwhelming, the notion of this great love looming over your head that you can’t even begin to understand.

OUCH. And then she asks where he’s from. When just last year, she was the one who helped him figure out that his parents’ deaths there weren’t an accident.

Juliette asking him how he likes his coffee, just so she can know something about him. Awwww.

Oh nooooo. Nick is trying so hard to woo her but it’s backfiring because every time he just GETS her or knows what she likes/wants/needs, it’s a reminder of the amnesia and this whole weird, messed-up situation. Whyyyyy.

“Alas!” said she, “he no longer knows me,” and her grief was ever greater.

At the Root of Evil, Good; At the Root of Light, Darkness, Part 4: A Mournful Rustling

She wondered if she’d ever get over this feeling of invasion – the discomfort of realizing that he knew intimate things about her, and she didn’t even know how he liked his coffee…

Sean Renard is literally the physical embodiment of “grace under pressure.”

What’s so horrible too is that Juliette is so VULNERABLE right now. She desperately needed someone to be there without questions and expectations, and Sean was basically enspelled to want to be near her…sadly, not without expectations, though he fought like hell against that.

So interesting to get Sean’s perspective on this, too. He’s such a closed book in the show, most of the time.

Poor Sean…pining over a girl’s voice against his will.

Seriously…the more I think about it and read fic about it, the more it hits me how Adalind’s revenge was so fucking complete in every way.

I still find it horrible, but god…she took something so important from each person. She took Juliette’s ability to be secure in her own mind away from her. She took Juliette’s love and their life together from Nick (and from Juliette as well). And she took Sean’s perfect control from him.
