Jeeves and Wooster. *NM* snoopcester Send a noteboard - 13/04/2011 11:07:06 AM
Last night, I finished a series with an unexpected ending. Literarily speaking, I appreciated the themes. Emotionally speaking, WAAAAAAAAHHHHHH :(

I'm still upset, even after sleeping it off. So! I want some good stories with HAPPY endings! I don't mind if some people die, but I want happily ever after for the main characters. Bonus points for romance. :blush:

CLARIFICATION: bonus points for stories WITH romance, not romance stories. I would like fantasy for this.

Well, you've read it, but it's huge spoilers for people who haven't! Ghavrel - 12/04/2011 06:38:08 PM 1704 Views

I seem to remember Modesitt's Towers of the Sunset had a romance element and a happy ending. *NM* PhotoJim - 12/04/2011 05:23:39 PM 874 Views
The Queen of Attolia by Megan Whalen Turner Darth_Katie - 12/04/2011 07:02:39 PM 1599 Views
Or Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell, perhaps? Camilla - 12/04/2011 07:11:30 PM 1569 Views
I was gonna suggest JS & MN as well. And Christie generally cheers me up as well, true. *NM* Legolas - 12/04/2011 07:20:44 PM 918 Views

I don't really count that as a happy ending, myself... Michael - 14/04/2011 09:03:53 AM 1631 Views
You know, I do not remember how it ends... Camilla - 14/04/2011 02:10:45 PM 1432 Views
The ending is admittedly disappointing. Legolas - 14/04/2011 07:53:29 PM 1501 Views

Room is great, but hardly qualifies as mind candy if you ask me... Legolas - 12/04/2011 07:23:10 PM 1684 Views
Ghavrel doesn't ask for mind candy in his original post. Rebekah - 12/04/2011 07:40:23 PM 1636 Views
