This is so nice. Having everyone together for my birthday. Of course, you could smash in all my toes with a hammer and it will still be the bestest Buffy Birthday Bash in a big long while.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.

Deb, I was FINALLY able to read your fic all the way through, and my God it's beautiful. Loved, loved, loved it. And the ending is gorgeous.

If people are doing this--and I think they should--I like the idea of "B-Characters" being caught up in the , "having to choose sides" bit.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.

Victor, he is nice man, he say nice things!

I like the side-choosing thing as a prereq, as well. Because of the Glowing-Joyce thing to Dawn, that whole "when Buffy has to choose she won't be there for you" lie, I ended up seeing that whole concept as the sort of moral underpinning to the issue.

It really is. OK--Buffy's conversation with Holden was different, but that was on the show, and well, her name's in the title.

For the others, the FE and its minions would be mostly interested in "recruiting" allies, or demoralizing enemies. So Giles or Xander, for instance, might go in a completely different direction than, say, (and soemone can have this if they want) Rack and Amy.

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

Amy's mother -- does she count as dead?

Actually, thinking about that? Not sure it really was all that different. Because in the end, wasn't Holden's whole thing's big acocmplishment to cast doubt in Buffy's mind about whose side Spike would fight on?

Art Crawl!!!

Well, if she wasn't dead prior Sunnydale being destroyed - - she certainly is now. (Amy's mother that is.)

sumi, that's what I was thinking. And that would make one truly terrifying little fic: Amy's mom, stuck in her trophy, seething with rage and malevolence, watching the town disappear around her....

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

It's a fantastic thought -- but wasn't the cheerleading trophy in the SHS trophy case? I'd think she would've been blown up with the first HS.

amych, for some reason, my brain is remembering seeing it since the Sunnydale High rebuild.

Huh. I didn't catch that -- but if so, cool.
