Alanna mourning Thom.
Thom and Alanna in the first book. (What was he thinking?)
Gary/Raoul/Jonathan cooing over wee!Alan and how precious he is. And modest.
Coram being proud of Alanna.
The moment Roger decided he should be king.
Alanna thinking about George and the kiss before she sleeps with Jonathan.
George crushing on Alan. Then George crushing on Alanna.
George finding out that Alanna turned down Jonathan.
George & Alanna <3.
Delia or Josiane's thoughts, their scorn, as they seduce Jonathan so easily.
Jonathan being an ass. Or how Jonathan evolved from a goodhearted boy to an ass. (But you know, not in a bashing way, in a self-aware, poor guy but you know a future king has different things to think about kind of way. Also, perhaps the "women at court" "spoiling him" like Alanna accused, thus his assumptions w/Alanna.)
Alternaview of Ralon/Claw, why he is a bully, sort of examining why Jon&crew like to beat him up and insult him so much. What exactly led to the rift between them?
How did George hand over, get rid of, or pass on the Rogue-ship?
What is the new Rogue like? Do he and George ever talk?
Thayet and the noblewoman she battled beside during Roger's great final attack?
Liam's last thoughts as he died.
Hmmm ... stuff about the Bazhir or the K'miri or the Doi, with more research?
Jonathan passing on the Voice-ness to ... Roald?
(Why is Roald such a better Heir than Jonathan? Nowhere near as stuff/smug/partisan but also doesn't have friendships as strong. Explore this?)

Actually/Finally write a full Tris-in-Lightsbridge fic instead of relying on mediocre second-rate fic to satisfy my cravings.

Kel + Uline friendship.
Wyldon reflecting on how he has wronged Kel; friendship?
Wyldon's thoughts on Joren, esp. after the Chamber.
Maybe Wyldon's thoughts about Kel at various points in time: when he first knows her, after Joren's Chamber thing, and when he finally accepts that she's a girl.

Coram after Alanna's first terrible swordfight. What he thought, how he formulates his advice.

Lalasa crushing on Kel, her white knight.
Kel being old, and having had plenty of relationships, but being single in the end and happy.
A girl watches Kel joust and is inspired to become a knight.

Kel/Aly

Tortall fic! Yes, please.

Sadly, the likelihood of me starting and finishing anything is nil. This is more the list of fics I would SUPER like to read than the list of fics I am actually capable of writing.

How much of this is my fault?

[laleia.livejournal.com]

None if it is your fault, oddly enough. I know you were rereading Tortall, but I was actually experiencing a craving for Emelan fic --> and then I read some Tortall fic by the same author --> and then I started craving the canon, so I was rereading the best bits --> and then had all these thoughts but nobody to share them with (except you! but you already know most of my Tortall thoughts, i.e. Jon's an ass and Liam gets progressively more and more unlikable with each reread and I can't believe he used to be my favorite), and then there was all this fanfic I wanted to read but nobody would ever think to write, and thus this list.

(Btw, is it just me or is it REALLY obvious that Alanna books were her first ones. Her writing's definitely improved over the years. I love the Alanna series like mad, but some of the surprise!segues into Gary's POV are a little jarring.)

Also, can I add something from Raoul's POV? He's so not around in the four books, and it makes me all :(
