Edgar & Ellen/YMMV

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


The books

  • Crowning Moment of Awesome: Heimertz's Big Damn Heroes moment, followed soon after by Nod casting out the Knightleighs.
  • Crowning Moment of Heartwarming:
    • The twins' reunion in Frost Bites, after Edgar had briefly thought Ellen dead. For some reason, the text doesn't mention the hug they share, but an illustration shows it, and it is glorious.
    • Their reunion in Split Ends as well, although the dramatic tension is considerably lightened by their exchange beforehand.
    • Heimertz and Dahlia's wedding in Hot Air. These two went through a lot to get to this point.
  • Growing the Beard: Under Town was where the series truly started to shine, with continuity starting to come into play and the first mysteries being introduced. And that's not even going into the reveal of the Mason's character, or the bittersweet ending.
  • Moral Event Horizon: Stephanie definitely crosses this line in Frost Bites, when she arranges for Edgar and Ellen's deaths. She would have crossed it sooner when she buried them underground in Nod's Limbs, except that she was counting on the balm spring keeping them alive, albeit trapped for who knows how long.

Edgar: Stephanie, don't do this! You don't want our blood on your hands!
Stephanie: Of course I don't. That's why I'm wearing gloves.
