EXACTLY. My heart bleeds for them to be happy together, but my brain cannot forgive everything Jiskar put him through. If It's written this, I would have instead made it a slow burn. Have him be ADOPTED by Jiskar, then raised by the castle staff, to avoid grooming. I then would have had Jiskar realize he was the reincarnation when Ray was an adult, around the same time he started getting training be Christian and red head. This making Christian's love for him not as creepy.
I would have them live triangled that as Jiskar began to trust Ray more and more. It would have been Jiskar's attempt to replace his doomed petulant excuse for an heir.
All pilot points Schreiber, no rape and everyone is ultimately decent. It may not end happily, and I would throw in some attempted rape by baddies, but people just really don't like rooting for rapists and groomers us know?
That said, I'm absolutely insisted by Christian.
I like Ray and I want him to get revenge on whoever killed him before and if it is possible get his old body back, BUT I hate the thought of him ending up with Jiskar, I mean everything he did to him before is just messed up, and no amount of good deeds or whatever would make it okey for them to be together (just my thoughts) (︶︿︶)＝凸
