The ending doesn't make sense? Spoilers Farseer & Tawny Man

[Farseer]

One thing in all of this that I have always found interesting, and don't think I've ever mentioned here (because I was always going to pop it in the prophecies thread 'one day'!), is that Fitz changed the outcome of a prophecy in the very moment that he and Molly married and lived together at Withywoods.

Way back in AQ Kettle shared many of the prophecies that were centred around Fitz, one of which spoke of the Catalyst longing for home and hearth but being fated to never enjoy them.

At the end of FF, Fitz is still the Catalyst and to a greater degree than ever before and, yet, he *had* achieved his dream and quieted his longing.

In AQ, Fitz was also angry at Kettle about this particular prophecy (though he had tired of the others she quoted as well). I like that he, as Changer, has shown us that not only is he capable of making change where others are concerned but he is capable of creating change (as in changing his supposed 'fate') for himself as well. He turned this particular prophecy on its ear.
