I don't see what's so special about #1. It just strikes me as information, or at least indistinguishable from such. The other two are are pretending that something was true/known/decided at some point in the past where we all know it wasn't.
You two carried me through that war. Now I need you to carry me just a little bit further. If you can.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.
Holy crap.
Just bought the graphic novel of Buffy: Season 8 Book 1.
(Finally!)
Love. Just - love.

"...and then Legolas and the Hulk destroy the entire Greek army." - Penny Arcade
Finally finished the Anya for Buffy 8.10:
Buffy: If this is a European beach, why is my top still tied?
Daniel Craig: Buffy, you know not to listen to your critics, but you should especially never listen to your fans.
Willow: Wait, what?
Buffy: Uh, hang on. I might have got the scripts mixed up. I'm a little distracted, what with the thousand feet of empty air beneath us.
Willow: But it's great! We're up on high, defying gravity.
Buffy: Yeah, that's sorta the problem.
Willow: Aw, you and Angel should talk about acrophobia some time. Anyway, I'll take us lower.
Buffy: Oh, thank AAAAAAAAHH NO POWERDIVES!
Xander: Dawn, by my amazing powers of talking-other-people-into-doing-stuff, I present you - fresh clothes.
Dawn: OMG Xander!! You are the best not-a-big-brother ever! Gimmee Gimmee Gimmee!
Xander: Whoa, little lady; this thing's loaded you knommmmmmff!!
Willow: And then there's hot cocoa, and snuggles, and skiing, and why is she wearing my top from the cover of issue #3?
Buffy: That's cool. And your actual girlfriend?
Willow: ...I think you're missing the point of the game, Buff.
Buffy: Never mind. Are we there?
Willow: Yep. Thank you for flying Willow Air, please make sure your lesbian is in an upright and locked....Y'know what? I don't really wanna finish that joke.
Buffy: So. We're in a generically bucolic setting, with a run-down hose with a girl outside.
Willow: Well, the house is probably the Pit of Doom inside, and the girl is here to make sure reality doesn't go all kerflooey.
Buffy: Pretty standard setup, then.
Robin: Welcome to Mount Doom. Tourists to the left, petitioners to the right.
Buffy: Bzuh?
Willow: She experiences reality differently than normal, thanks to the whole "minder" thing.
Robin: Good luck rescuing the Prince of Roses.
Buffy: ....ooookay. Why would anybody join up for a job like that?
Willow: She didn't join up. She was chosen by impassive cosmic forces to perform a vital task that she can never really rest from.
Buffy: I get the feeling there's something pointy here, but I'm too distracted by this symbolically endless stair to follow up.
Willow: The wit of the staircase always comes too late.
Xander: We will now have a brief intermission while I panic yet again about my masculinity, with bonus exposition.
Buffy: Can we take a break from fantasizing to talk about your girlfriend? Actually, can we just have a giant monster attack before I dig this hole any deeper?
TV 2 Demonic 4 TV: CUSTOMER SATISFACTION GUARANTEED!
Buffy: Thanks! Also, ow. Anyway we're here about-
TV2D4TV: Merchandising! Sales pitches! Fray tie-ins!
Buffy: Well, for example. Can you help us?
TV2D4TV: Please! I can remember it for you wholesale.
Willow: So the secret behind the Slayer army is grand larceny?
Buffy: Hey, it's not my fault all those secret Watcher bank accounts turned out to be fanon!
Willow: Buff, you know how people get when you ill-get their ill-gotten gains.
Buffy: All I did was liberate some sparklies no one was using. What about you and your Hot Lesbian Demonic Sex?
Xander: Y'know Dawn, having fallen for a bad-boy with a smooth line doesn't really make it as a deep, dark secret. Nonetheless, I will now gloat that it was me you opened your big, big heart to.
Robin: If the chick does not crack the shell of the the egg, it will die unborn.
Willow: What? Wait, is this a sneak preview?
Robin: We're in reruns. This is the part where someone you love and trust betrays you.
Kennedy: Mememe! Memememe, mememememe! Tara?
Willow: Y'know, the downside to getting over feeling guilty about the reasons your lover died that weren't your fault, is it frees you up to feel guilty about the reasons that actually were.
TV2D4TV: Well, now I know all your secrets, so I'm gonna tell all my demonic friendslist, nyah, nyah, nyah.
Willow: COMBO....
Buffy: BREAKER!
TV2D4TV: (Fatality)
Shack: BZZORCH!
Robin: Modenkainen's Sphere (continued...)

Willow: Wow! Ow. Hey, sorry about the blowing-up-your-job thing...
Robin: Yay, paid vacation! So where are you guys off to?
Buffy: Anywhere but here.

Grrrr, Arrrgh! For the second time, the latest ANGEL: AtF was sold out at the Newbury Comics closest to work half an hour after they hit the shelves. All the other comics stores are a pain get to (at least when I'm hobbled as I currently am).

Also, I would like to start an X-men plush collection. Apparently.
