I can't believe the story of a man who becomes so obsessed with the version of his dead wife he created in his mind that he builds a special military sect in order to fuel his vanity project to attempt to rebuild her as he remembers her.
The story where because she's based on his memories of the version of her who died, she is always doomed to fail/die over and over and over again until finally being shut down when he has abused her memory so severely trying to bring her back that she no longer remembers her own name.
The story where the man brings his own daughter into his mess and then pits her against the recreation of her own mother without ever telling her that's who it is, that story?
I can't believe that's not a gothic novel and is in fact the plot of seasons 9 and 10 of the show made by having sprites in Halo shake their heads up and down while a bunch of guys from Texas make sex jokes.
