Oh, god, General!Wesley would send Xander out on a mission, knowing that he would likely die. And Xander would both be smart enough to know it and loyal enough to do it. The pain.
I've really got to learn to just do the damage and get out of town. It's the 'stay and gloat' that gets me every time.

That's a challenge to somebody. Unfortunately, my muse has taken her bi-monthly holiday to Bimini. Hopefully she'll be back soon.

My muse seems to have taken early retirement. Too bad, I really liked her.

Okay, I'm going with the presupposition that in order for any of them to be happy, they'd have to be done with the fight.

The fight against evil? It never ends. That's the point. It never ends, and these are not people that can go blithely about their days while the fight rages on without them. They've seen evil, looked at it's face. They know the sacrifice that they make will go unheraled, unappreciated, hell, perhaps unnoticed - that's what makes them heros. It's not the flash, it's the endurance.

Sorry. I'm a little tired and just need to see TTT again.

Both of them the sole survivors of their individual fights, both of them with tortured attractions in their pasts ...
Hey, Muse, welcome home! What did you bring me? No, not the Wes stuff, you said you were bringing me back some V!Giles stuff. Yeah, fine, blame jet lag. We're working tomorrow, remember htat.

I'm planning another TTT viewing on Christmas. One of the two THX certified theatrres in the state is in the next smallish town south, but everyone's going to be in the fancy, dancy mall theatres.

No, but they can eventually, should they survive that long, retire to support positions. The underappreciated desk jobs of the fight.
Xander would keep everyone fed and healthy, and make sure they stored their weapons in proper, Xander-made containers. Wes would research and issue orders, and get very tense. Xander would relax him with an earnest pep-talk and a massage.
It would be lovely.

Thanks for all the fish.
But not happy. How could they be happy while the people they are feeding and ordering to fight are getting hurt and getting dead? Ignorance is bliss; once you've gained knowledge, you can never get rid of it.
connie, you write the Wes and Xander and I'll beta the hell out of it. While I'm in my bunk.
