History WMG / GONE

The similarities between the two series are uncanny; both had very large and very diverse casts, both had kids with superpowers, both had multiple overarching mysteries, both had somewhat of a KudzuPlot, and both had more NightmareFuel than a video of a war. But a lot of problems that Remnants had were fixed here. Scholastic wouldn't let Grant make Tate's lesbianism more explicit; Dekka is another black lesbian with a similar personality. Remnants often strayed into the ChrisCarterEffect; here, all the questions are answered. Remnants was written on the very rushed schedule of two books every month; Gone's schedule was much more relaxed. And it really did work; I've read both series, and although I enjoyed Remnants, this was entertaining in the same way while being much more satisfying and higher quality.

[[WMG: Drake will do a HeelFaceTurn.]]
* Because one, it would throw everyone off and two, if he figured out that the Gaiaphage has no real interest in keeping him alive he would be PISSED OFF.

* Jossed. At least as of ''Fear.''

[[WMG: In ''Light'', Sam and Caine will be {{fireforgedfriends}} ]]
They certainly bonded a lot in ''FEAR'' and seeing as it's the last book, it makes sense for everything to be rounded up and resolved. I think it would be a nice, bitter-sweet moment for them to finally, after all that conflict become friends. After all, they're {{notsodifferent}}

** Or they could of been manipulating her for money after her stair fall.

[[WMG: Like in the above theory, Sam's father was Connie's lover and Caine's father her husband, and in addition to that, Connie's lover is the father of one of the other kids in the FAYZ.]]
So Sam doesn't have just the one (half-)brother he didn't known about. There is also (at least) one half-sibling from his father's side.

*** Actually, then the meteor hit, it killed one person, Sam's father. Earlier, the gaiaphage was noted about discovering human DNA and changing due to that. It seems like there is a connection there.

** ...Except that the series backs up the theory. Sam and Caine are both twin brothers and the only four bars in the whole of Perdido Beach.

"She knew '''from experience''' that pregnancy tests didn't work until 10 days after conception."

Think about it; they're the two most powerful moofs in the FAYZ (unless you include Petey, and [[spoiler: Gaia]] ), and they are both described as not knowing who their fathers are. The gaiaphage is supposedly the most powerful being in existance (which would explain them both being four bars), and has been able to take the form of humans in the past (I.E [[spoiler: Nerezza.]] ), so it possible the gaiaphage morphed into a human, seduced Connie and got her pregnant.

"She knew '''from experience''' that pregnancy tests didn't work until 10 days after conception." [[spoiler: before PLAGUE?]]

[[WMG: Diana was the one who pushed her mother down the stairs. ]]]]

Now, Diana wanted revenge on her father for not buying her a horse, and it makes sense that she'd want her father to get into trouble. She told the police that her father was the one who pushed her and states that she was lying...Perhaps she pushed her mother down the stairs to get him into trouble with the police? She also says, after reccounting ''her'' version of the story of her mother's fall; "And that's only ''half'' the story." Implying she left out some pretty big details about how her mother was dispatched. It's important to mention that Diana is characterised as very manipulative and has shown in the series to not be above things of this nature.

** It is mentioned at the beginning of ''Fear'' that [[spoiler: tampons are among her most prized possessions, so yes, she's probably having regular cycles now]]. So, it could very well happen.

* Unlike malnourished and assumed-infertile Diana, Astrid [[spoiler: has been getting minimal amounts of food and mentions having a cycle (if I remember correctly)]], so it's highly possible that this is the case.

* Unlike malnourished and assumed-infertile Diana, Astrid has been getting minimal amounts of food and mentions having a cycle (if I remember correctly), so it's highly possible that this is the case.

* And another WMG stemming from this one: If Astrid [[spoiler: did in fact get pregnant]] during ''Fear'', Little Pete [[spoiler: might take over the baby's body]]. He might very well need [[spoiler: a physical body]] to better fight against the gaiaphage, which now [[spoiler: has the advantage of a new body as well, in its Gaia persona]]. Plus, [[spoiler: a child of Sam and Astrid]] would be [[spoiler: genetically related to LP]], which could help with [[spoiler: the whole "hijacking the baby's body" process]].

[[WMG: In ''Light'', Astrid will [[spoiler: be revealed to be pregnant]].]]

[[WMG: Astrid will [[spoiler: be revealed to be pregnant]] during ''Light'']]

It happened before to [[spoiler: Caine and Diana]], and as far as we know, [[spoiler: Sam and Astrid did not use protection of any kind]]. They might get unlucky as well. And if Sam [[spoiler: ends up dying in ''Light''...we might even get a [[SomeoneToRememberHimBy | Someone to Remember Him by]] situation]].

Wouldn't it just be such a sad and bitter turn of events if everyone else ended up dead/somehow incapacitated and unable to [[spoiler: finish Gaia off for good]], leaving Diana to realize that there is no way to [[spoiler: kill the gaiaphage without killing the part of the entity that is her beloved daughter]].

[[WMG: Diana will end up being the one [[spoiler: who will have to finish Gaia off]] in Light.]]

* Jossed. At least as of ''Fear.''

For [[spoiler: An unborn child to have a 2 bar power in utero]] is pretty powerful. When Little Pete [[spoiler:AscendsToAHigherPlaneOfExistence]]at the end of ''Plague,'' he says how free from his stunted body he feels. However, somehow he needs to be [[spoiler: ResurrectedForAJob and come back to defeat the Gaiaphage]] So how can he do it? Going back to the same body is out of the question, but an able body, not fully formed and most likely an accepting spirit? That'll do just fine. Most likely what would happen is they become a duality like [[spoiler:Drake and Brittnay]] the [[spoiler:the unborn child/Little Pete has powers to {{GrandTheftMe}}]] or [[spoiler:Twins, creating an interesting parallel for Sam and Caine]]

Okay, think about it. Caine's a pretty complex bad guy. Sometimes he's an EvilOverlord, but other times he's an AntiVillain or even a ''very'' dark AntiHero. Problem is that, with a character like that, you can't just throw him in jail or whatever. But having him skip off with a happy ending would make him a total KarmaHoudini, not to mention that it would be unleashing a dangerous [[TheSociopath sociopath]] on society. The only way to solve this would be either (a) Diana dies, reaching the last crumb of empathy he has in him, prompting him to HeelFaceTurn, or (b) he dies protecting her. This will allow him to maintain his complexity while not going out-of-character, not to mention making up for his {{jerkass}}ery in ''Plague'', so the fangirls will be mollified.
