oh my god, my brain hates me

*epic facepalm*

So what, in the face of impending deadlines for remixredux09 and narniaexchange , does Betsy's brain do?

Why, of course! It gives her plot bunnies for Slayer!Susan, with Peter disapproving of her Watcher and her Watcher disapproving of Peter/Susan (also completely confused about why party-girl-boy-fiend-lipstick-and-high-heels-Susan already has some pretty freaking epic fighting skills) and Susan going 'FUCK THIS SHIT, I'M OUT OF HERE' an average of once a day to her Watcher.

Subtlety, Susan. You are doing it wrong.

*more facepalming*

I'll just... yeah... *shame*

And Westley's ancestor wins!

So something Wyndham-Price. *snickers*

Something terribly British. Percival?

[burntcopper.livejournal.com]

Stanley. Or Gerald. Works for the period. *not* Percival.

He would have been born somewhere between 1910-1920, I guess? (A bit inexperienced for a Watcher, huh. Unless we go with making it Westley's grandfather's older brother, who could be born earlier?)

Anyways, Percival's not on the top (American, I couldn't find the English) list of names for the decade. Percy is though, which is odd.

Oooh, maybe Cecil? Poor guy, but still... XD

Couldn't he have been born earlier? Or...well, there's still a war going on, there has to be some reason he hasn't been conscripted, yes?

intelligence work, most likely. Bletchley?

And a watcher would normally be in his thirties/forties. :calculates: Okay, so if Wes's dad is around 60 in 2003, he'd have been born in the late thirties. His dad would've been born around 1910.

Not to mention that Susan is *old* for getting discovered as a slayer, but then they were probably going through them like water, it being wartime and vamps and demons going on the rise due to the disruption.

But on the bright side, she comes pre-trained! And with siblings! Who may not have Slayer-strength, but were trained to fight creatures that were sronger, faster, and bigger than they were. And with non-modern weapons, at that.

be_themoon has Susan at fifteen here.

I'm putting Susan at 15 because there's a gap in the Slayer timeline - no Slayer is mentioned (as far as I can find out) between 1943, when one died, and 1950, when another one was activated. So, mysterious seven-year-gap with perfect timing for Susan... it's irresistable! :P (Which means that this is also technically an LB AU, something it would seem I just cannot keep my grabby hands off of.)

Yup! That's my timing for Wesley's grandfather too. He'd be in his early thirties, with a ten-year-old kid.

Crack with research, guys. Research into a fictional show. I have sunk low.

Percival *really* isn't common in England outside of King Arthur. Percy is a name in its own right, as well as a surname - it's one of those boy's names like Lindsey or Leslie, ends in a 'y' sound.

Another thing I never knew.

I'm liking the sound of Percy or Cecil Wyndham-Pryce. Yes/no, peoples? Something else entirely?
