I think you do an excellent job of setting up why they could work. Thanks!! Yes, major suspension of disbelief, but I'm glad to hear the approach made it possible.
I think Gunn does take responsibility for the people around him - sometimes too much, or inappropriately, being very hard on himself. Thanks for reminding me of the scenes in Pylea, I'd forgotten that.
Wesley - yes. I find Wesley dialogue difficult to write (thus far) at least but he's a fascinating character and his motivations during the whole Connor arc are interesting to explore. I'd like to look at that sometime, how much they're mired in issues with his father, with the Council, with Faith, and with the notion of evil vampire - even with a soul, he doesn't really trust Angel, or, if he feels emotionally inclined to, he overrides himself.
Thanks yet again for a detailed and inspiring comment! :)
