But you're perfectly free to keep writing AUs, is what I'm saying. What I don't understand is the people who resent that the ending of the source material isn't the ending they would have given it, to such an extent that they can't even write "fixit" AUs because said ending has somehow retroactively poisoned the well for them by being triggery and mean. That's not you. That's the very opposite of you, man!;)
