AGREED!! Because it is sooo Cannon. More than Natty/Kitty or Kitty/Barti. For several reasons I'm too lazy to list.

You mean it was this?

Ew. Just... Ew. Any pairing with Candle is gross then.

:welcome: back.

I'd forgotten how friendly you guys all were. It warms the cockles of my shriveled lima bean of a heart.

Hehe.
Yes, we are really friendly people. The most smartest, kindest and awesomest (such a word exists for us) people in the world. And in the best forum imaginable =D.

Well, in light of what we mostly agree the candle is, I think I've sufficiently grossed enough people out with the Kavka/candle ship. :lol2:

Word of God on the candle:
Jonathan Stroud wrote:1. Well, I think it would be indelicate for me to answer this one. I was careful NOT to specify the exact nature of the candle in the books, but suffice it to say that it's based on the old legend of the 'hand of glory' in which the hand of a criminal was cut down off the gallows and closed around a candle made of assorted repellent materials; when a thief lit the candle as he entered a house, all the people in it went to sleep. Harleqin's one is a variation and it seems he's cut something down from a corpse, only I'm not sure it's a hand in this case. Best left to the imagination of us all.
Jonathan Stroud wrote:Well, that's a good question and I'm not going to give you a proper answer! The traditional 'hand of glory' allegedly used by burglars was the hand of a criminal cut down from a gallows or gibbet, which then had a candle stuffed between the fingers. It was supposed to make everyone in a house fall asleep, so the burglar could carry out his work safely.

As for the object the agent holds in the cemetary... well, it's the same sort of thing, but I don't think it's a hand this time! Certainly Nat doesn't like the look of it at all. I am very careful NOT to specify what part of the body it is. I kind of leave it to your imagination - it's better that way!

Reading JS's reply, I think that is more likely than anything else.

OK, I'm going to totally answer this cause i want to and people are still posting if not on topic.

I like Nat/Kitty *runs and hides*

*sneaks out from behind back of sofa* I just think theres so much potential that could've been worked into but just didn't cause it got overshadowed by Barti. It was a shame they only had like half a day together at the end of the last book to be actually attracted to each other. ;p

That and i love a good ol' love/hate relationship (and i don't perticularly have any interest in slash but i think barti and nat always had a better relationship as a platonic one).

I like Nat/Kitty best too. But I don't mention it much here.

I love Queezle so I agree with bart/queezle. I think, if I understood the question right. Which I'm not sure if I did.

Shipping is pairing two characters (fictional ones). You probably understood the question right.
anyways, I'd say for me Bart/Queezle or Nat/kitty. Tough choice.

Bart/Nat is awesome, Nat/Kitty is OK if written well, Bart/Kitty is :sick: I can't stand that pairing.
BTW, is Bart/Nat considered slash? I mean Bart doesn't technichally have a gender since he's a shapeshifter... like a TREE!!!
Oh and I like Bart/Faquarl, Bart/Queezle, and John/Jane. and Mandrake/Piper too.

Well, I guess spirits do not have a specific gender, at least in the OP, but when they are summoned they sort of get one? I dunno :-/ . JS has probably answered something like that before.

Nah, the only time I cried in the whole book was when Nat died. But I did feel sad.
