But I agree that LGX got away too lightly in that scene. Kneeling ain't enough. Plus he didn't agonise enough. In my alternative fanfic universe, he not only kneels but kowtows till his head bleeds and his face all bloody. SN cries seeing him do that. WQ is unmoved and nastily lets loose the contraption cables. Close-up of the threatening wheel-turning mechanics of the contraption. SN is about to fall onto the knives. Slow-motion wuxia sequence - in a split-second, LGX knocks down WQ and flies towards the contraption to block SN from hitting the knives. He gets pierced instead, but before the knives go any deeper, SN swiftly does some cool somersault moves in her tied-up position to break LGX's fall momentum and with luck, the knives board breaks loose and threaten to fall on WQ instead, with LGX-SN gingerly balancing it inches away from WQ. LGX makes the final duel deal with WQ before letting him off. LGX-SN
embrace emotionally after this life-threatening situation and confess their love for one another...along the lines of, "I cannot live without you."
Also during LGX-WQ final duel, wasn't SN sick with worry? How come she went off like nothing after a BFF hug (that hug didn't look loving to me at all
)? My alternative fanfic - she secretly goes to the duel appointed place and watches from a tree all tensed up. LGX wins after difficulty but is seriously injured, she nurses him, applies ointment to his wounds and then there's that
warm LGX-SN hand-holding
, and scene cuts to an MV of their 'moments'.
