I saw a lot of folks worrying during a specific moment yesterday's ep that Essek had frigid woe (from EGTW). This wasn't the case, but I decided to speak up on behalf of all who seemed so enamored by the idea by suggesting it here.

Hopeful ending preferred but not necessarily required, any pairing okay with me. My one suggestion (which can be ignored) is for it to be a shippy fic wherein whoever has the hots for Essek practically jumps him (with his enthusiastic consent) after he's been given the antidote because seeing him almost die was a wakeup call.
