I really love these two, how they mirror each other and go such down different paths, how first Anakin tries to hold onto Ahsoka and then Ahsoka tries to hold onto him, the tragedy of their failure to manage it and living with that. I’d love something sweet during any time period; what about one of the times he’s sharing his mechanical knowledge—which he got from his mother—with her? I like to think it’s his way of meditation, and that it’s how he trains her with regard to that aspect of Jedi life. Or what about after a battle, when they both need to talk or just be together? I really liked the point in her novel where she’s thinking about how he used to take care of her after battles, help her deal with the mental toll of the war. I love their banter and their pleasure in dangerous situations, so maybe a moment building on that. Or something leaning on the near-telepathic abilities the Force gives them, with regard to being able to sense each others' feelings--they might sense something and pursue the matter, or get distracted and lose control of their own feelings. Not to mention, the Force gives them more stamina, so they could last awhile. Maybe they could celebrate a victory, or just let out their mischievous/competitive side during sex/something romantic. Or they could have any of the conversations they might otherwise engage in, except during sex/something romantic. Or they could be fixing his prosthesis! How about an AU where one or both of them was never found by the Jedi: Anakin remains a slave, Ahsoka was successfully captured as a toddler and sold by the bounty hunter (I love that bit of her backstory for the what-if of how she nearly had another thing in common with Anakin), so they run into each other under those circumstances; only one of them goes through what’s described above, until they’re found by the Sith, while the other remains a Jedi. Or maybe he tries to reach her after he’s gone back to the Light Side; what do they say, and how do they begin to move on? Does she know it, with the mystical transformation she seems to have undergone by then? Or what if he actually survived—they thought their time to live was over, and now they have to deal with living in a galaxy they never expected, together. I’d also love a Regency AU (set in space or somewhere more historical) akin to Sorcerer of the Crown by Zen Cho, with Anakin in this unstable position in society due to his origins and Ahsoka, also with a less than respectable background, swooping into his life with all her confidence and talent. Or a fairytale AU! Some fairytales I can think of that might be relevant to this pairing are “The Snow Queen” and “East of the Sun, West of the Moon.”

I really love these two, how they mirror each other and go such down different paths, how first Anakin tries to hold onto Ahsoka and then Ahsoka tries to hold onto him, the tragedy of their failure to manage it and living with that. It seems to me that trying to kill Ahsoka was not in Vader’s plan—he’d wanted her alive before, and he had opportunities he didn’t take—so what would he do if he ever did find out she survived him? Especially if she never came out to try and find him. Does he try to keep her a secret? Keep on going in the face of her not coming back? Or maybe he tries to reach her after he’s gone back to the Light Side; what do they say, and how do they begin to move on? Does she know it, with the mystical transformation she seems to have undergone by then? Or what if he actually survived—they thought their time to live was over, and now they have to deal with living in a galaxy they never expected, together. Is he exiled or hidden in some distant world, or even in the Unknown Regions, and does she go with him or does she find him? Or a fairytale AU! Some fairytales I can think of that might be relevant to this pairing are “The Snow Queen” and “East of the Sun, West of the Moon.” I can also see a bit of a Hades/Persephone element.

Anakin Skywalker (Star Wars)/Daenerys Targaryen (Game of Thrones)
These two are charged with energy all by themselves, and the thought of them with each other is delicious. Both of them have this intensity of feeling, as well as the whiff of prophecy about them. They both have a desire to remake the world around them for the better, and a ruthlessness in following that drive. With interesting differences: where Dany is willing to learn to rule and to navigate mercy while in an environment that encourages violence, Anakin is raised to value mercy but struggles to adhere to it, and he isn’t raised to think he can rule—he just decides it as part of his personal fuck everything breakdown. What would it be like, if they could meet? The potential vibe reminds me of the Daario scene where he kneels and delivers the heads of her enemies. At the same time, they started out as gentler souls, and they have love in their hearts. They could share an understanding, I think. They’d be a potent mix. Also, I like the appearance of flight in their stories: Anakin is the best flyer and it’s part of how he got out of slavery, where Daenerys is the first to fly dragons in many years, which provides her with both power and a means of escape. Plus they both love doing it. And I know this is more book Daenerys, and I haven’t read the books, but the line “if I look back, I am lost” has always been very striking; it seems like something that could apply to Anakin, who, as he states in The Clone Wars film, “[doesn’t] want to talk about my past...The desert is merciless.
It takes everything from you.”
Feel free to AU either of them into the other’s universe, or have them share one, or let the mystical shenanigans fly free. They dream of each other during bad times, they might or might not know they will meet.
Buffy Summers (Buffy the Vampire Slayer)/Anakin Skywalker (Star Wars)
Two destined heroes, unconventional within their context and struggling to balance their duties with their personal desires, capable of deep love, and hellishly dangerous in battle. A slight tendency to brood and cut themselves off because they are the One and nobody else can do what they can do. Then, they both experience the depression of having to keep living when they thought their life was over, they were done, and it would have come as a relief to be dead. Fuse their universes, have one of them visit the other in a dream—they’re both psychic that way—or have some portal shenanigans with the Force/Hellmouth. Maybe one of them is stuck in a temple via cryogenics or a spell and the other finds them in the ruins. Or, they run into each other when Buffy’s in that trap that turns homeless Earth people into slave labor; maybe she ends up on Tatooine instead, or he and/or Shmi got taken there at some point from Tatooine, and they escape together. Then they bond! Maybe they’ve been dreaming of each other all this time without knowing, being a comfort to each other. Maybe when Buffy died, they connected on the astral plane, and then she’s pulled back to life…

Rey (Star Wars ST)/Ahsoka Tano (Star Wars Rebels)
The concept of these two meeting is great! Ahsoka is touched by the light side, both in her choice to live in it and in how its very essence gave her back her life. Rey awoke to her power as the dark side rose. They both try to reach a dark-side user they see more in, and succeed, only to be betrayed by him, and they both face the hard choice of letting him go and coming in to their potential themselves, without any help. What if Ahsoka walked through another portal, when she knew it was time? Or perhaps she learned how to become a Force Ghost and that is the version Rey meets on a dream quest? Or maybe Ahsoka has become ageless, in a sleep-like trance under Malachor’s ruined Temple, until Rey goes there and wakes her up?
Ben Solo | Kylo Ren (Star Wars ST)/Ahsoka Tano (Star Wars Rebels)
One of the most intriguing get-togethers that hasn’t happened. In their own ways, they each represent Anakin’s legacy, and they have their own relationships to that and to him. Ahsoka is his path not taken, having faced her own capacity for darkness when she wanted vengeance and chose against it, and Kylo Ren believes he is continuing his work by choosing against his capacity for goodness; as they both turn away and leave him behind, they continue on their paths, one to remove herself from the galaxy at large until she is needed and the other to dominate it in an attempt to fulfill his own needs. Does Kylo Ren ever find out his grandfather had an apprentice? What if he met her on some pilgrimage to Malachor? Or, in a universe where Anakin survived and Ben Solo still became Kylo Ren, would Kylo Ren find them together, and perhaps come to a different choice? Or maybe he finds Ahsoka in a sleep-like trance in the ruins of Malachor, and waking her leads to her being able to ward off Snoke’s influence? Maybe she trains him instead of or in addition to Luke, or a repentant Ben finds her when he’s trying to put what’s left of his destruction into a new life.

I like their arc of embracing their culture and wanting to be the best within it, only to become disillusioned as they learn more about the Jedi/Asgard and their relationship to their cultures and to the wider universe. I also enjoy their confidence and their fighter’s instinct. What if an AU in which Jedi Ahsoka has to be part of a mission with prince Thor? Or Ahsoka, a refugee in the wake of the Empire’s rise, meets King Thor and his Asgardian refugees? Or both?
Carol Danvers (MCU)/Ahsoka Tano (Star Wars)
It’d be so much fun if these two met! They could run into each other in the Unknown Regions, maybe, both of them wandering around helping people, or perhaps Ahsoka runs a bit farther than she planned to while avoiding the Empire. Or Carol is AU’d into the Star Wars universe as a brainwashed lieutenant.

On the Cersei side: the hate sex would be tremendous! What if Daenerys came back to Westeros sooner, and marriage was seen as a way to keep Cersei safe and in power? Or Cersei used Missandei as a hostage to lure Daenerys in close, hoping to kill her more subtly so as to have a better chance, but things develop differently from how they both intended? Assuming she didn’t kill Rhaegal as well. And I hear in the books that Cersei had wanted Daenerys’ brother Rhaegar; I’m show-only, but feel free to use that if you like.
On the Jaime side: He killed her father, but her father was a danger to the kingdom she wants to be a good queen of, and she wouldn’t have had either the kingdom or a shot at ruling it without that. They both struggle with the reality of their positions as knight and queen, versus what they’d like to be in those roles: to be honorable, to save the vulnerable, and to have that recognized and work out. It’d be complicated, but that’s interesting to me.
On the Jaime/Cersei side: they wouldn’t have to worry about the incest thing as much, with Daenerys, and she’s powerful enough that if they could somehow end up on the same side, they wouldn’t need anyone else. There could also be something interesting to be explored with how the Lannisters are very “it’s all about us,” and how while the Targaryens tended to keep to incest for the sake of the bloodline, Daenerys herself is empathetic and learned to be more open to the importance of other people.

Angel/Buffy Summers (BtVS)
I love these two and how much they mean to each other, from the early seasons to the last. I enjoy all the scenes when they’re taking care of each other, whether it’s Buffy trying to nurse Angel back to health and sanity or Angel helping Buffy through a difficult moment. I’d be happy with some cuddling in her room or the mansion in the early seasons, a quick visit during the later seasons, the classic “what happened when they met in early BTVS season six/ATS season three” story, a bittersweet moment where one needs the other’s help on a mission during the years they spend apart, or a happy ending after all. Or maybe what happens in a Wishverse where Buffy and Angel survive the fight at the Bronze, or don’t go at all—what if Angel hadn’t gone to wait for her in Sunnydale, but had followed her to Cleveland? In both universes, they’re lonely souls stuck in-between worlds; how does their relationship work out with a Buffy who’s a little more jaded?
Angelus/Buffy Summers (BtVS)
These two were a painful delight together. It was fascinating to see Angelus reacting to the experience of having loved her by trying to make her into another of his “works of art,” and interesting to see him seeming to avoid her when he was finally convinced it wouldn’t work. And that he felt so disturbed by the ghostly possession leading to romantic interaction! He thought her love gave him a hold over her, but he doesn’t seem to be entirely aware of how she has a hold over him in turn, or he’s refusing to be. And it’s so agonizing to watch Buffy struggle with the power he has to hurt her, aware of it, always acting on her principles and sense of responsibility, and trying hard to turn off the feelings that get in the way. They’re both coming at the relationship by trying to adhere to who they believe they are and who they should be, and they never wholly succeed. Angelus can’t mold her into something he can control even though she’s vulnerable, and he fails to kill her. Buffy can’t get him back even when there seems to be a chance, and killing him doesn’t make him go away. What if he’d chosen to try pretending he was the same for longer, enjoying and hating being drawn to her? What if he tried to have sexual encounters with her, knowing it would hurt her, rationalizing it as being the only way she gives him pleasure? What if he’d ended up chipped instead of Spike, and Buffy felt oompelled to hide him? Or he came back from hell sans soul—whether it went its separate way into the afterlife upon Buffy sending him there or Willow never managed to return it.

Buffy Summers/Kendra Young (BtVS)
I so wanted to get more of them. They’re wary and competitive, but they respect each other; Kendra can appreciate Buffy’s different take on things and Buffy’s sense of duty grows as the season goes on. I like to think her later reaction to Faith’s loose canon quality is because of all the deaths she couldn’t prevent in season two, and especially to honor Kendra’s sense of responsibility and the stake she now carries in her memory. Maybe Buffy gets Kendra that stuffed animal after all—does she do it in person or does she mail it over with a note? What if Kendra returned to Sunnydale much earlier, like around the time the Judge was being put together? That seems worthy of a visit—what would have changed if she had? Or if she’d survived Drusilla?
Rupert Giles/Buffy Summers (BtVS)
A loving yet tense relationship, as the personal and the professional blur; I love how they love each other and yet out loud they try to contain the relationship with the words of their titles, defining themselves as Watcher and Slayer when they mean so much more to each other. I love the mix of intimacy and duty. They try to take care of each other. They don’t always manage it, but they try. I’d love to see them dealing with the after-effects of “Helpless”; Buffy forgives him, but they don’t forget. What if we saw more of the scene where she’s letting him take care of her wound? Or something when they get to talk after the events of season six, without having to immediately worry about Willow or the First—perhaps phone calls to the other side of the world between seasons? Happy adventures in Europe post-series?
Tara Maclay/Buffy Summers (BtVS)
I’ve had a soft spot for them ever since Tara held a crying Buffy on her lap in “Dead Things.” I love Buffy’s accidental slipups—she doesn’t set out to confide in her or open herself up, mired as she is by then in feeling she has to be strong alone, but she responds to Tara and feels safe talking to her. You can see it even before that, as early as “The Body” when they talk about their mothers’ deaths. I also love the moment when Buffy takes the lead and stands up for Tara in front of her relatives, when Tara is feeling vulnerable and terrified of rejection. And then Tara seems to echo that chivalry later, when Buffy is uncomfortable with Spike but can’t fend him off herself because she’s distraught. I’d love to get a missing scene from season six after Buffy had that breakthrough, when it seemed they were getting closer. Or an alternate universe where Tara lives, but Willow still goes dark for a bit, and they need to recover. What if Willow manages to bring her back, and Buffy helps her cope?
Again, thank you for your work, and best wishes!

I really love these two, how they mirror each other and go such down different paths, how first Anakin tries to hold onto Ahsoka and then Ahsoka tries to hold onto him, the tragedy of their failure to manage it and living with that. I’d love something sweet during any time period; what about one of the times he’s sharing his mechanical knowledge—which he got from his mother—with her? I like to think it’s his way of meditation, and that it’s how he trains her with regard to that aspect of Jedi life. Or what about after a battle, when they both need to talk or just be together? I really liked the point in her novel where she’s thinking about how he used to take care of her after battles, help her deal with the mental toll of the war. I love their banter and their pleasure in dangerous situations, so maybe a moment building on that. Or something leaning on the near-telepathic abilities the Force gives them, with regard to being able to sense each others' feelings--they might sense something and pursue the matter, or get distracted and lose control of their own feelings. Not to mention, the Force gives them more stamina, so they could last awhile. Maybe they could celebrate a victory, or just let out their mischievous/competitive side during sex/something romantic. Or they could have any of the conversations they might otherwise engage in, except during sex/something romantic. Or they could be fixing his prosthesis! How about an AU where one or both of them was never found by the Jedi: Anakin remains a slave, Ahsoka was successfully captured as a toddler and sold by the bounty hunter (I love that bit of her backstory for the what-if of how she nearly had another thing in common with Anakin), so they run into each other under those circumstances; only one of them goes through what’s described above, until they’re found by the Sith, while the other remains a Jedi. Or maybe he tries to reach her after he’s gone back to the Light Side; what do they say, and how do they begin to move on? Does she know it, with the mystical transformation she seems to have undergone by then? Or what if he actually survived—they thought their time to live was over, and now they have to deal with living in a galaxy they never expected, together. I’d also love a Regency AU (set in space or somewhere more historical) akin to Sorcerer of the Crown by Zen Cho, with Anakin in this unstable position in society due to his origins and Ahsoka, also with a less than respectable background, swooping into his life with all her confidence and talent. Or a fairytale AU! Some fairytales I can think of that might be relevant to this pairing are “The Snow Queen” and “East of the Sun, West of the Moon.”

I really love these two, how they mirror each other and go such down different paths, how first Anakin tries to hold onto Ahsoka and then Ahsoka tries to hold onto him, the tragedy of their failure to manage it and living with that. It seems to me that trying to kill Ahsoka was not in Vader’s plan—he’d wanted her alive before, and he had opportunities he didn’t take—so what would he do if he ever did find out she survived him? Especially if she never came out to try and find him. Does he try to keep her a secret? Keep on going in the face of her not coming back? Or maybe he tries to reach her after he’s gone back to the Light Side; what do they say, and how do they begin to move on? Does she know it, with the mystical transformation she seems to have undergone by then? Or what if he actually survived—they thought their time to live was over, and now they have to deal with living in a galaxy they never expected, together. Is he exiled or hidden in some distant world, or even in the Unknown Regions, and does she go with him or does she find him? Or a fairytale AU! Some fairytales I can think of that might be relevant to this pairing are “The Snow Queen” and “East of the Sun, West of the Moon.” I can also see a bit of a Hades/Persephone element.

Anakin Skywalker (Star Wars)/Daenerys Targaryen (Game of Thrones)
These two are charged with energy all by themselves, and the thought of them with each other is delicious. Both of them have this intensity of feeling, as well as the whiff of prophecy about them. They both have a desire to remake the world around them for the better, and a ruthlessness in following that drive. With interesting differences: where Dany is willing to learn to rule and to navigate mercy while in an environment that encourages violence, Anakin is raised to value mercy but struggles to adhere to it, and he isn’t raised to think he can rule—he just decides it as part of his personal fuck everything breakdown. What would it be like, if they could meet? The potential vibe reminds me of the Daario scene where he kneels and delivers the heads of her enemies. At the same time, they started out as gentler souls, and they have love in their hearts. They could share an understanding, I think. They’d be a potent mix. Also, I like the appearance of flight in their stories: Anakin is the best flyer and it’s part of how he got out of slavery, where Daenerys is the first to fly dragons in many years, which provides her with both power and a means of escape. Plus they both love doing it. And I know this is more book Daenerys, and I haven’t read the books, but the line “if I look back, I am lost” has always been very striking; it seems like something that could apply to Anakin, who, as he states in The Clone Wars film, “[doesn’t] want to talk about my past...The desert is merciless.
It takes everything from you.”
Feel free to AU either of them into the other’s universe, or have them share one, or let the mystical shenanigans fly free. They dream of each other during bad times, they might or might not know they will meet.
Buffy Summers (Buffy the Vampire Slayer)/Anakin Skywalker (Star Wars)
Two destined heroes, unconventional within their context and struggling to balance their duties with their personal desires, capable of deep love, and hellishly dangerous in battle. A slight tendency to brood and cut themselves off because they are the One and nobody else can do what they can do. Then, they both experience the depression of having to keep living when they thought their life was over, they were done, and it would have come as a relief to be dead. Fuse their universes, have one of them visit the other in a dream—they’re both psychic that way—or have some portal shenanigans with the Force/Hellmouth. Maybe one of them is stuck in a temple via cryogenics or a spell and the other finds them in the ruins. Or, they run into each other when Buffy’s in that trap that turns homeless Earth people into slave labor; maybe she ends up on Tatooine instead, or he and/or Shmi got taken there at some point from Tatooine, and they escape together. Then they bond! Maybe they’ve been dreaming of each other all this time without knowing, being a comfort to each other. Maybe when Buffy died, they connected on the astral plane, and then she’s pulled back to life…

Rey (Star Wars ST)/Ahsoka Tano (Star Wars Rebels)
The concept of these two meeting is great! Ahsoka is touched by the light side, both in her choice to live in it and in how its very essence gave her back her life. Rey awoke to her power as the dark side rose. They both try to reach a dark-side user they see more in, and succeed, only to be betrayed by him, and they both face the hard choice of letting him go and coming in to their potential themselves, without any help. What if Ahsoka walked through another portal, when she knew it was time? Or perhaps she learned how to become a Force Ghost and that is the version Rey meets on a dream quest? Or maybe Ahsoka has become ageless, in a sleep-like trance under Malachor’s ruined Temple, until Rey goes there and wakes her up?
Ben Solo | Kylo Ren (Star Wars ST)/Ahsoka Tano (Star Wars Rebels)
One of the most intriguing get-togethers that hasn’t happened. In their own ways, they each represent Anakin’s legacy, and they have their own relationships to that and to him. Ahsoka is his path not taken, having faced her own capacity for darkness when she wanted vengeance and chose against it, and Kylo Ren believes he is continuing his work by choosing against his capacity for goodness; as they both turn away and leave him behind, they continue on their paths, one to remove herself from the galaxy at large until she is needed and the other to dominate it in an attempt to fulfill his own needs. Does Kylo Ren ever find out his grandfather had an apprentice? What if he met her on some pilgrimage to Malachor? Or, in a universe where Anakin survived and Ben Solo still became Kylo Ren, would Kylo Ren find them together, and perhaps come to a different choice? Or maybe he finds Ahsoka in a sleep-like trance in the ruins of Malachor, and waking her leads to her being able to ward off Snoke’s influence? Maybe she trains him instead of or in addition to Luke, or a repentant Ben finds her when he’s trying to put what’s left of his destruction into a new life.

I like their arc of embracing their culture and wanting to be the best within it, only to become disillusioned as they learn more about the Jedi/Asgard and their relationship to their cultures and to the wider universe. I also enjoy their confidence and their fighter’s instinct. What if an AU in which Jedi Ahsoka has to be part of a mission with prince Thor? Or Ahsoka, a refugee in the wake of the Empire’s rise, meets King Thor and his Asgardian refugees? Or both?
Carol Danvers (MCU)/Ahsoka Tano (Star Wars)
It’d be so much fun if these two met! They could run into each other in the Unknown Regions, maybe, both of them wandering around helping people, or perhaps Ahsoka runs a bit farther than she planned to while avoiding the Empire. Or Carol is AU’d into the Star Wars universe as a brainwashed lieutenant.

On the Cersei side: the hate sex would be tremendous! What if Daenerys came back to Westeros sooner, and marriage was seen as a way to keep Cersei safe and in power? Or Cersei used Missandei as a hostage to lure Daenerys in close, hoping to kill her more subtly so as to have a better chance, but things develop differently from how they both intended? Assuming she didn’t kill Rhaegal as well. And I hear in the books that Cersei had wanted Daenerys’ brother Rhaegar; I’m show-only, but feel free to use that if you like.
On the Jaime side: He killed her father, but her father was a danger to the kingdom she wants to be a good queen of, and she wouldn’t have had either the kingdom or a shot at ruling it without that. They both struggle with the reality of their positions as knight and queen, versus what they’d like to be in those roles: to be honorable, to save the vulnerable, and to have that recognized and work out. It’d be complicated, but that’s interesting to me.
On the Jaime/Cersei side: they wouldn’t have to worry about the incest thing as much, with Daenerys, and she’s powerful enough that if they could somehow end up on the same side, they wouldn’t need anyone else. There could also be something interesting to be explored with how the Lannisters are very “it’s all about us,” and how while the Targaryens tended to keep to incest for the sake of the bloodline, Daenerys herself is empathetic and learned to be more open to the importance of other people.

Angel/Buffy Summers (BtVS)
I love these two and how much they mean to each other, from the early seasons to the last. I enjoy all the scenes when they’re taking care of each other, whether it’s Buffy trying to nurse Angel back to health and sanity or Angel helping Buffy through a difficult moment. I’d be happy with some cuddling in her room or the mansion in the early seasons, a quick visit during the later seasons, the classic “what happened when they met in early BTVS season six/ATS season three” story, a bittersweet moment where one needs the other’s help on a mission during the years they spend apart, or a happy ending after all. Or maybe what happens in a Wishverse where Buffy and Angel survive the fight at the Bronze, or don’t go at all—what if Angel hadn’t gone to wait for her in Sunnydale, but had followed her to Cleveland? In both universes, they’re lonely souls stuck in-between worlds; how does their relationship work out with a Buffy who’s a little more jaded?
Angelus/Buffy Summers (BtVS)
These two were a painful delight together. It was fascinating to see Angelus reacting to the experience of having loved her by trying to make her into another of his “works of art,” and interesting to see him seeming to avoid her when he was finally convinced it wouldn’t work. And that he felt so disturbed by the ghostly possession leading to romantic interaction! He thought her love gave him a hold over her, but he doesn’t seem to be entirely aware of how she has a hold over him in turn, or he’s refusing to be. And it’s so agonizing to watch Buffy struggle with the power he has to hurt her, aware of it, always acting on her principles and sense of responsibility, and trying hard to turn off the feelings that get in the way. They’re both coming at the relationship by trying to adhere to who they believe they are and who they should be, and they never wholly succeed. Angelus can’t mold her into something he can control even though she’s vulnerable, and he fails to kill her. Buffy can’t get him back even when there seems to be a chance, and killing him doesn’t make him go away. What if he’d chosen to try pretending he was the same for longer, enjoying and hating being drawn to her? What if he tried to have sexual encounters with her, knowing it would hurt her, rationalizing it as being the only way she gives him pleasure? What if he’d ended up chipped instead of Spike, and Buffy felt oompelled to hide him? Or he came back from hell sans soul—whether it went its separate way into the afterlife upon Buffy sending him there or Willow never managed to return it.

Buffy Summers/Kendra Young (BtVS)
I so wanted to get more of them. They’re wary and competitive, but they respect each other; Kendra can appreciate Buffy’s different take on things and Buffy’s sense of duty grows as the season goes on. I like to think her later reaction to Faith’s loose canon quality is because of all the deaths she couldn’t prevent in season two, and especially to honor Kendra’s sense of responsibility and the stake she now carries in her memory. Maybe Buffy gets Kendra that stuffed animal after all—does she do it in person or does she mail it over with a note? What if Kendra returned to Sunnydale much earlier, like around the time the Judge was being put together? That seems worthy of a visit—what would have changed if she had? Or if she’d survived Drusilla?
Rupert Giles/Buffy Summers (BtVS)
A loving yet tense relationship, as the personal and the professional blur; I love how they love each other and yet out loud they try to contain the relationship with the words of their titles, defining themselves as Watcher and Slayer when they mean so much more to each other. I love the mix of intimacy and duty. They try to take care of each other. They don’t always manage it, but they try. I’d love to see them dealing with the after-effects of “Helpless”; Buffy forgives him, but they don’t forget. What if we saw more of the scene where she’s letting him take care of her wound? Or something when they get to talk after the events of season six, without having to immediately worry about Willow or the First—perhaps phone calls to the other side of the world between seasons? Happy adventures in Europe post-series?
Tara Maclay/Buffy Summers (BtVS)
I’ve had a soft spot for them ever since Tara held a crying Buffy on her lap in “Dead Things.” I love Buffy’s accidental slipups—she doesn’t set out to confide in her or open herself up, mired as she is by then in feeling she has to be strong alone, but she responds to Tara and feels safe talking to her. You can see it even before that, as early as “The Body” when they talk about their mothers’ deaths. I also love the moment when Buffy takes the lead and stands up for Tara in front of her relatives, when Tara is feeling vulnerable and terrified of rejection. And then Tara seems to echo that chivalry later, when Buffy is uncomfortable with Spike but can’t fend him off herself because she’s distraught. I’d love to get a missing scene from season six after Buffy had that breakthrough, when it seemed they were getting closer. Or an alternate universe where Tara lives, but Willow still goes dark for a bit, and they need to recover. What if Willow manages to bring her back, and Buffy helps her cope?
Again, thank you for your work, and best wishes!
