"You need guardian angels to make sure of happy endings."
Ain't that the truth.
Still -- and yes, I think way too much on this sort of thing -- when we write fics that give our favorite characters their happy endings, who's the actual guardian angel? Us for them, or is it the other way around? I can bitch and moan about how canon treats one of my favorite characters, but then I can write -- or read -- a fic with my more preferred outcome and amazingly I feel so much better! Gotta love that. And, of course, the characters certainly let us escape from real life difficulties, at least for a while, and sometimes we certainly need that break. So ... yeah, I think way too much.
Neat idea, though, and interesting -- and rather sweet -- little ficlet.
