Personally, I've found that living inland in non-desert terrain helps immensely with not running into concealed animals that have deadly poison.
Right. Piano. Because that's what we used to kill that big demon that one time. No, wait. That was a rocket launcher.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
It occurs to me that Boone being relieved that Shannon was dead skeeves me more than the pity fuck.

Yeah, usually that's a response saved for the passage of hated relatives or ones suffering from a long illness that death ends mercifully.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I agree ita, but I'm not sure it was just a pity fuck. Shannon depended on being able to manipulate Boone, and he had finally caught on to how she was doing so, so she added a new way.

It could have been a love fuck or a lets have babies with a gnarled family tree fuck or a I'm-your-daddy fuck. Still not as disturbing as how he got over it.
However, I do see it as a pity (not sympathy, pity) fuck. A "right, right, I'm sorry, stop whining" fuck.

I think Shannon would have to be a nicer person for it to be a pity fuck. She just regained control over him. The sex skeeved me a lot. I could understand the relief. He's not a strong person. He's a little pissant. If she's dead all his sibling/sexual feelings don't have to be dealt with. He can just pretend it never happened.

Yikes. Either you think she's way less nice than I do, or don't see a pity fuck as an extremely un-nice thing.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I'm confused. Who is pitying whom?

As I said, I agree.
Either you think she's way less nice than I do, or don't see a pity fuck as an extremely un-nice thing.
Or both. I think it was designed to get control over Boone, so it went a little past pity fuck. She did an already not nice thing, because she saw a way to work it to her advantage.

Shannon, pitying Boone, in my evaluation.
