Any Torment You Can Walk Away From: Difference between revisions

** Holmes becomes a much worse friend after coming back from the dead; before that, despite being thoroughly annoying as a housemate, he was a reasonably pleasant comrade who clearly valued his friend-and-colleague and certainly never forced Watson to do anything. The really impressive thing with Watson from the start is that his self-esteem appears to be under no threat one way or the other from hanging around with an insufferable know-it-all.

* ''Breaking Dawn'', the last book in the ''[[Twilight (novel)|Twilight]]'' series, has an immense amount of this in the closing chapters.

** The last line of the entire series is "All was well." Granted, it ''is'' 19 years later, but still.

* In the [[Brother Cadfael]] mystery ''The Confession of Brother Haluin'', the monk of the title is so overjoyed to discover that his youthful love and their child are both alive, rather than eighteen years dead thanks to an abortifacient he sent the girl, that he never spares a thought for the 'woman scorned' who lied to him all those years ago, even to forgive her. She simply doesn't count and neither do his years of grief and torment. Of course he ''is'' a monk.
