Yeah, but I mean that's precisely the point - it's Fitz's feeling for Molly from 15 years ago. That Fitz - and more importantly, that Molly - just doesn't exist anymore. Even if you could claim that Fitz 'reverted' to an earlier version of himself, Molly certainly hasn't. I can't honestly believe that it would in any way work out.
And the Tawny Man trilogy was all leading to Fitz & Fool Forever! until the last minute cop-out. It's like RH suddenly had an attack of last-minute rampant homophobia and wanted to end the books in a way that said "OH HAH HAH! No, it isn't a GAY love, honest - see Fitz go back to his girlfriend and Fool go off on his own? And Fool was never actually interested in Fitz sexually. See, I said so! REALLY NO GAY HERE AT ALL."
Even though her every opinion on fandom rubs me precisely the wrong way every time. I get seriously peeved when authors get uppity about fanfic.
