Date: 2019-05-25 09:56 am (UTC)I think my thing is that it looks like a fantasy from the outside - the Happily Ever After that the Shanshu is supposed to be - but my interest lies in exploring that. How WOULD they get on? Could they make it work? If, say, Spike shanshued, how would he cope with being human? And could they make it work as a couple? Or if he didn't, how would they cope with the fact that she would die? And so on and on. (Don't get me wrong, sometimes I totally go for the OTT Happily Ever After...) But mostly I love exploring the complexities of the characters and the relationships. Which isn't possible if most of them are dead.
Illyria training Dawn in portal use...
Heh. In one of my stories, Illyria almost kills Dawn, trying to turn her back into energy.
ETA: This whole discussion prompted me to finally start uploading my long Spike/Buffy/Angel fic to AO3. The whole where I delve into allll the issues, and that quite simply wouldn't work if only one survived! :)
