To Express My Opinion About Possible Relationship Of Revan And Carth After The Star Forge Battle, I Could

"How do we know more memories won't come flooding back? How do we know Revan won't suddenly turn on us?" Excellent question, Carth. A one-shot story about the relationship between FemRevan and Carth, set between KotOR I and KotOR II.

To express my opinion about possible relationship of Revan and Carth after the Star Forge battle, I could give a long talk why it wouldn't work. I guess that I'll write a short fic about that one day. But many years ago I found that fic that describes my view on revanasi perfectly!

I totally agree with how their relationship goes after Kotor 1 in this short story. The thing is that I see how Carth may love either the identity of amnesiac Revan or the 'mix' of her real self and the false one. But! The more Revan remembers her real past and realizes who she really is, the more complicated her relationship with Carth becomes because they like from different universes. Carth can't deal with all this Force stuff while for Revan it is the most natural thing (can't also forget she was a Kreia's student). He doesn't have neither enough power to support her, nor enough knowledge of Force sensitives and their problems. She has that 'dark past' behind and difficulty in mentioning it and some of the people who used to be the closest to her as, obviously, these are Carth's trigger points. Despite all the issues Carth dealt with, he is much closer to a normal person who's eager for a normal life while Revan often 'looks for troubles and new adventures' to her cost. Revan intends to get all the memories back, which might be pretty annoying for Carth. I'm not sure, he wants to lose the very woman he loved during the journey. I'm not sure, he can truly understand 'real Revan'.

So I'm not surprised their romance may be broken when Revan goes away to recover the memories and find out something concerning the Sith and the Emperor.

Thus, as for me, the phrase 'It's so much easier to love her when she's gone' is a real pleasure and makes sense when taking the above into account.

P.S. I completely understand that my opinion is also based on Revan I see. Actually, I can imagine different versions of Revan, but no one of them would say 'I'm not Revan any more... Don't call me that!' or something like that. Quite a long time ago I realized that I'd like to see Revan with a powerful Force sensitive person with a shared past who's also gone through hard times because of the Force, because of the Jedi Order and not only... in my headcanon that is Malak or might be the Exile. I'm wondering why there are only a few fics by the authors who see the Exile and Revan as a couple since it's such a reasonable way to go...

Probably, somewhere on Dantooine or on any other planet you choose...

Mission: And what if Darth Malak attacks Dantooine? What will all these masters will do then?

Amnesiac Revan: I have no clue! They used to do hardly anything, but now they don't do even that!

Amnesiac Revan to Mission (while Bastila’s nearby): Sometimes I do bad things so that other people, especially young girls, don’t have to do them.

Amnesiac Revan: Ok, no problem! We kill all the sith hunters following us while we look for the Star Maps, then find the Star Forge and, finally, kick Malak's ass!

Canderous: I have to face it... We supposed Revan was an only threat, who appeared out of the blue, but it seems that Republican space explolers are another secret weapon of the Republic!

Carth: Alex, had a psychiatrist checked your health before you boarded the Endar Spire? How did you even become a member of the Endar Spire's crew with your head injury and all the attendant problems???

Amnesiac Revan aka Alex: I got enough health check-ups at different kinds of doctors before the Endar Spire, thanks! How about miss "somehow I lost my lightsaber, but don't forget to bear in mind I'm saving everyone including you though"? Why don't you ask her about her mental health as well?
