I'm with -t in the in potentia camp. Somewhere there may be an Indigo Henna that hasn't actuated, and that germ's father may need help.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

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

Sorry. Indigo what now? Did I get hit on the head?
The British don't use proportional voting -- it's first-past-the-post, in each electoral district.
And that's why the Lib Dems support electoral reform. And why I support them. (Unless they make a pact with the devil the Conseratives no, I was right the first time. I shall now wander away muttering.)
Bedward, ho. Elections involve far, far too little sleep.

I love how the thread moved from puns to philosophy in five posts and never lost the colorants.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
So the man who would have been Indigo's father might still be killed by Excessive-Digits Man even if Indigo never exists, and we know of his peril because we know what would have happened if Indigo had existed, and with our knowledge of things in potentia, we could theoretically save Indigo's would-have-been father? We are as gods!

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Unless by trying to save Indigo's father we cause his death, as so often happens. In which case, would we need to wreak vengeance...on ourselves?

No, it's still Excessive-Digits Man's fault, because we wouldn't have needed to try and save the guy if EDM hadn't been so bloodthirsty.

So if we are wreaking vengeance on EDM, we might as well be known as Indigo Henna. Nom de vengeance.

All is well that ends in pizza.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
Indigo Henna *and* his father alvaged a sucktastic day (which is not in fact over) so I'd say that argues for their existance on some plane or other. Or you know, not.
