Wind on Fire/YMMV

• Brother-Sister Incest: Kestrel and Bowman seem to love each other a bit too much.
• Magnificent Bastard: The Master (Albard)
• Strangled by the Red String: Ira Hath makes a prophecy before she dies for the Manth travellers as they're about to reach their homeland. This includes telling them who they will marry, and how many children they'll have. Only one or two of them had any inkling of an attraction before this, but of course they really do all end up married to their prophesied partner in the epilogue. Ira may have only been suggesting matches that she had already noticed developing among the group members, but none of these developments were ever shown to the reader.
