Sometimes I worry that QC will suffer the same fate as Friednds. Starts off as a story about people finding their place and way in the world, ends with people being coupled off and dull.
BenRG:
FWIW, the key is to determine when the characters' story has ended and you don't need to spend time focussing on them anymore. The fate of Marten and Dora in terms of being protagonists indicates that Jeph does understand this distinction.
In the meantime, there are many other stories and different characters on which Jeph can focus. There's Hannelore's search for self-knowledge, Emily's attempts to navigate this alien world in which everyone else lives so effortlessly, Elliott's attempt to overcome his enormous anxiety issues to approach Clinton on Brun (or both) and, potentially, Sam's experience of the strangest and most terrifying journey anyone can go through: The journey to adulthood and adult identity.

I think she is genuinely content. Maybe not delighted. But quite content.

I understand what you mean. But that story arc is going on for months, now. And JJ is actually avoiding any kind of climax since last november. So now, it will just go on like that for the foreseeable future. And that's infuriating. The only suspens left is: will they beat the bush forever? Make SOMETHING happen, already!!!!
Tova:
Ah, the perils of shipping.
