And this scene from 2x03 SEALED THE DEAL. UGH. LOOK AT HOW EASILY FAMILIAR THEY ARE.
I loved this scene soooo much. The chemistry throughout that entire ep was A+++, but especially that last scene. I remember Craig Parker saying in an interview that they were both deliberately playing it up hoping that the writers would eventually go there, hee.
the framing is that he finds her attractive, and her intelligence and power are part of that pull. And he took the opportunity when she panicked, as she has done before over this prophecy in S1, so that's not OOC either.
ITA.
And they both admire how potentially duplicitous, murderous and manipulative the other is.
[…]
Catherine is still very protective of herself, and wary of Narcisse because well, she's getting in bed with a shark and she knows it. But they both know she's got teeth too. They accept and appreciate both the other and themselves. I LOVE that.
THISSSSSS. I looooove this dynamic, and for precisely these reasons. It makes the odd moments of vulnerability all the more moving. And I love, love, love when they talk strategy with each other, because you can tell they're both enjoying it SO MUCH. xD Like when they were both squealing with glee over Conde being in a bind, ah ha ha ha.
THEY ARE BOTH HAVING A HELLA GOOD TIME.
Heh heh heh. Heh heh heh heh heh heh. xDDD
From the episode blurbs it looks like the last couple eps are going to be un-peachy for Catcisse this season but I'm not fussed?
Same. Like, it's not the kind of ship where I get upset when it gets rocky, heh, I'm just in it for the ride, LOL.
