Ampy's Farseer, Liveship & Tawny Man Thread (spoilers)

I probably would have mourned the ending of the series more if the Fool had remained dead, as well. However, I can't discount the fact that Fitz finding his dead body, carrying him all the way to the Skill road through the pillar, putting on the Rooster Crown and bringing him back to life was one of the most touching moments of my reading experience with that series. I bawl, every time, through that entire part.

This event was unsettling to me (aside from obvious possibilities) because the Fool did not appreciate being brought back to life. From the moment Fitz made contact with him through the rooster crown the Fool discouraged him from doing anything to change things. After he had time to recover he did not so much as embrace Fitz with affection or show any sign that he appreciated the opportunity to rejoin Fitz in life.

I realize the Fool had a major dilemma to confront. He never foresaw living beyond a certain point. Among many things the potential impact on the future of the world was on his mind. Yet the love between them should have afforded more affection. In that respect it was an empty venture.

Now as for my theory, Fitz could have learned of the deal the Fool made with Girl-On-A-Dragon by merely placing the rooster crown on his head and hearing the voices of the minstrels and the Fool. The Fool could have guided him through the steps that restored Fitz's memories and feelings. He did not have to do it himself. I suspect the Fool's soul(?) was originally meant to rest within Girl-On-A-Dragon.
