THERE IS SO MUCH TO COMMENT ON AND AWESOMENESS AND I DON'T KNOW WHERE TO START AND AAAAAAAAAAH.
MARA
WELL AT LEAST I GOT THE MOON PART RIGHT and sort of about the Queen (you only want Deon as Knight of Wands cause she is Queen of Wands. I see your crafty plot!) Actually I wouldn't have guessed at looking at a Fire element for Mara, so I consider myself schooled. I can agree with the having a strong Magician influence, but I think the community bits are more in the realms of other cards - like the Queens or even Lovers or Justice.
NEVE
I'm happy you agreed with Neve = Hanged Man. She seemed like such a perfect textbook case of it that I would have been sad otherwise. Actually it is sad as it is, especially about her going on without any sense of spirituality to drive her anymore. Sounds like trying to drive a car just on your battery power. Sort of a wonder that she has made it this far, even if she doesn't look better for the wear.
What about aiming for Judgement with Neve, and once she is through with the revival/regeneration of that card, she can fully embrace the World?
DEON
KNIGHT OF WANDS DOES WORK REALLY WELL. Especially the reversed position, that description lines up really well with his emotional state during that time.
Also everything you said about Mara/Deon is brilliant and I could have never said it better. On his side of the "WHY DIDN'T THEY KILL EACH OTHER IMMEDIATELY" curiosities, what helped him trust Mara and actually come to approach her as a friend was this impression she was a peer to him, somehow, rather than someone he could easily play with and disregard later.
If it helps, Deon doesn't exactly see the depth of the Moon in Mara either. Especially initially, he thought that a lot of her negative reactions and bitterness were amusing, curious bits of her personality - not the result of like five years of gnarled and snarled personal history. (Which reminds me, I would like for him to learn about her dad at some point, if you'd be cool. Not sure if she'd mention anything or if he has to hear through Reddel/Lynn, but it'd kinda give him a bit of a clue. Fortunately I don't think he'd tell Mara he knows.)
I love how Long December isn't solved through the POWER OF LOVE/kissyface too (pfft that would actually make things PROFOUNDLY WORSE if timed wrong). For those two especially, if they can't respect each other as friends, I can't imagine any kind of force getting them together.
