Victory and Its Discontents II / Awesome Endings

You can't ever make everyone happy, but you sure can make everyone mad at you.  The downside of performing any public service, especially one specifically on behalf of some group of people is that, people being people, a fair number of those you serve will be greedy ingrates.  Their ingratitude ranges from the I-want-a-pony attitude of "You should have gotten me more!" to the truly aggravating "Feh.  I didn't want that."  Seriously.  Part of the package we obtained includes Martin Luther King, Jr. day as a paid holiday, and the reaction from the Man In The Street is so derisive that one of my more idealistic subordinates asked aloud if our company weren't actually a front for the KKK.  We got a new paid holiday-- a three day weekend-- something extremely rare among contracts in the last decade or so, and a fair percentage of the membership decides to spit on it because the day honors a black man (and, by extension, the struggles of Americans of color).  

At that point, it's difficult not to succumb not merely to apathy but instead to a kind of vengeance, and to entertain ideas (however briefly) of screwing your ungrateful and bigoted constituency over.  

And then one of your few African-American co-workers gives you a big hug and says you got her "everything she wanted" and you did a great job and you decided that maybe, just maybe, you can stave off Armageddon for a couple of weeks.

I tried to channel that rage into 'fic but instead got diverted on theory and meta, and so instead of 'fic I present the rankings of Most Awesome Endings for Fire Emblem Protagonists based on my current jaded 'n' jaundiced mindset.  

( Spoilers for just about every Fire Emblem game... )

I have no reason for posting this besides that Ike's FE10 ending suddenly seems like an excellent idea.
