#You know a series is great when you’re caught between shipping angst and elaborate theses about space opera politics

WHERE is Sievarden why is she barely in Ancillary Sword at all yet 😭

Watching Breq grieve her ancillaries and the companionship and comfort and touch they provided her, now being just one person so touch starved and heartbroken and stressed after tearing open her old wounds and remembering loving Awn and feeling that horror all over again… while also knowing full well how horrifying her past actions were and confronting that she’ll never be the same…

WHERE is Sievarden when you need her??

Also, the scene where Sievarden blatantly asks if Breq could hypothetically fuck her and Breq’s just like “I can but I won’t lol bye.” And then Sievarden with Ekalu instead just going “I would if she wanted me to” while KNOWING that Breq can hear everything onboard MoK is the funniest thing.

Please (well don’t actually spoil) tell me these two end up wrapped up in each other’s arms and holding on for dear life again
