:lol: And here I was this whole time thinking my post-All In fic was really kinda far-fetched! But hey, if Emily thinks it's possible...
Anyway, do
I think EC began after All In? That's a tough one, and I'm going to have to go with no on that one. I think he took her home, and they might've had an emotional night together, and yes, it
was a turning point for them, but I don't think they were together after that night. Because the way I see it, Calleigh wouldn't have jumped into the relationship just like that, right after that kind of trauma, because she's Calleigh. And Eric is Eric; I don't think he would
let her start something between them in the wake of that trauma, because he would've been far more concerned about her well-being than about starting a relationship with her that particular night.
That said, yeah, it definitely
was a turning point, because that was where the emotional aspect
really started to show itself, if that makes any sense. Everything started changing after that - it'd been changing before, but Calleigh's kidnapping really pushed it along.
And, I have to throw Jake in here. Sorry, haha.
I find it hard to believe that Calleigh would've felt as though she'd spent months waiting for Jake (as said in 7x01) if she were already with Eric. (Even if we do go with the idea that JC ended during SYG - it still feels off to me.) She was much too emotional when she said all that to Jake, and Calleigh doesn't fake emotion, and she's never had any difficulty telling Jake how it is, so why now, especially if she does already have something concrete with Eric? Stepping away from Calleigh for a second, to me that doesn't seem fair to Jake or Eric. I don't want to think of EC being together in canon prior to 7x01, because I like to think that Jake was important to her at one time and would take time to get over, because I do think he left her shaken, hurt. And the less time there is between Jake and Eric, the more it kinda cheapens both relationships, in my eyes - i.e., Calleigh not needing time to move on from Jake, and Calleigh jumping into Eric's arms while there is still the possibility of lingering hurt from Jake. I want to think of Calleigh being with Eric after she's healed
completely from that part of her past, because Eric deserves that too - he deserves her completely.
But that's just me as a multishipper.
Basically, if there's any sense to be made out of that jumble of words, lol, I guess it's this - I don't want EC together back when there was any
lingering hint of a triangle. I want Eric to have her heart solely and completely, and vice versa - these two deserve that much.
And, having already done the triangle thing, I'd like to think Calleigh knows all about the inherent danger and would wait until it had dissipated
completely before letting herself take a chance on what she's wanted all along - Eric.
:adore:
Even so, nothing is cuter than the idea of Eric holding Calleigh all night after All In, awwwww. :adore:
I do believe that could've happened, and I like to think it did.
I'm more inclined right now to think that if their relationship has already begun, it was after 7x14. That's what makes the most sense to me.
But mostly, I kind of don't want Emily to be right, because I
so want to see their first kiss.
I'm not going to complain, obviously, if we find out that this isn't their first kiss because OMG WE'RE GETTING A KISS YOU GUYS!!!
But still; there's just something so "aww" about the idea of EC's first kiss, especially if it were to happen after this coming episode, all the Eric drama.
