I've also seldom liked fanfic versions, which seem

to swing between

Bitchy-Superjock-from-Hell (and not even good

bitchiness, though he *has* a

neat way with a verbal stiletto when he likes) and

Sir-Galahad-in-Space, so

sweet and virtuous and dutiful and noble and

squeaky-clean that he makes my

teeth ache (yes, there are similar version of both

Avon and even Vila.

*They* make my teeth ache as well).<

And mine. The same goes for the sugary sweet

version of Blake.

But we're not talking about Tarrant as he appears in fanfic, but as he appears in the series. The answer to all your prejudices against Tarrant is to stop reading bad fanfic.
