OK I BROKE 30K I AM ALLOWED.

For Acedia, Aeris and Alexiel.

I also NPC Sleeping Beauty, Cheshire Cat, Dream and Three of Three and will field questions about them as well, though I retain the right to ~ * spoilers * ~ not answer.

ASK ME THINGS. I will be picking at this for at least a week +A+!

You're very cute, Luke.

. . . uhhhhhhhhh. gosh. It probably depends on whether or not he and Dawn have sorted themselves before then. LIKE. HONESTLY???? He doesn't have a huge amount of problem with Van. There is the initial BLUGH IM ANGRY but that is really literally nothing compared to his burning hatred of the mafia. And really he can set that aside so he can set this aside as well \:D/

The other issue is 'does Van make dawn happy or sad' and if it is sad it is to the shank pile. But I assume this would only make Dawn happier. So it pretty much clears Van from the shankpile but also pretty much tips the scales into deep insecurity.

So yes 8|a really hinges on where they are.

What would Dawn do if Van learned to love him . . .

oh god

jump into the ice cold deep end and never look back 8D;

HE WOULD JUMP FEET FIRST AND HE WOULD LOOK but he would... still jump....

And therapists everywhere would put their head in their hands and cry...

There is basically no way for Dawn to have a truly healthy relationship with Van. Even if Van was genuinely repentant and genuinely loved him, it doesn't change the fact that Dawn is basically brainwashed to love him and he is central to every single one of Dawn's defining issues. The only healthy relationship they could have would be if Dawn rejected him, because that would meant Dawn has self worth enough to realize that regardless of Van's regrets he basically build and systematically destroyed Luke for his own purposes, without a shred of guilt. And that that isn't acceptable or the foundation for any kind of happiness!

But he will never be healthy enough to reject him so any kind of 'positive' relationship would still be fundamentally mindbendingly terrible. Doesn't really matter if it was sexual, parental, or friendship.

BUT Dawn would not only do it but he would defend Van the entire way 8D;

i think i am out '-'.....
