   Summary

   (An extended version of the scene where Jake and Quaritch have a talk before his execution. When Jake lifted his kuru to Quaritch I thought for a moment he was going to offer it to him and when he didn’t I asked myself what if he did?)

   (Update) A new chapter featuring an alternate ending where Quaritch doesn’t fall

   (2nd update) Another chapter and any after focusing on post ending potential. Rating may rise.
