I love to see William ridiculously happy ( CLICK HERE for proof), but I also believe drama is fueled by angst, and MM can't sit complacently on happy marriage laurels. So I have recently thrown some angst theories out there. So, just for the fun of it: which of these theories would result in a mob gathering with pitchforks and me being burnt at the stake first? 1) Julia's ship being lost at sea on the way to explore some fertility clinic options in Europe. (Leaving her survival options open of course). This is my "Scully kidnapped by aliens" or "Angel pushed into the Hellmouth" scenario. All the better if William encouraged or even argued her into going, or they had harsh words before she went. 2) Former lover (Anna, Ettie) shows up on doorstep with William's son, re-triggering all Julia's anxieties about not being able to give William a son herself. William will of course feel responsible for the child, and perhaps the situation of the woman. Julia may even abscond in this situation, thinking that William would prefer an alternative "family". William, of course, would not. 3) William gets excommunicated for doing what he believes to be the right thing! Julia would support him, but William's difficulties over this would be a big strain on the marriage I'm sure. Excommunications can be undone, too. |

Without a doubt the second one. Someone started a fic about William's long lost wife reappearing not long before the Jilliam wedding and I just couldn't handle it. Two would be almost as bad.
Also it's way too soap opera-y and I'm sick to death of that kind of drama.

They're all too chock-a-block full of angst for me. You are a fiend snacky...I for one am ready to just let them enjoy some connubial bliss for 5 minutes.

Just to heap more opprobium on myself...and possibly to hasten my own demise... If Julia does get pregnant, I think she will lose the baby on the first attempt.  don't kill me |

Also it's way too soap opera-y and I'm sick to death of that kind of drama. I can see bad writing turning it into a soap opera, and this is the sort of idea that launched thousand badfics. Also, I wouldn't want MM to spend too much of any episode on personal matters anyway. But it will be the death of MM to get complacent about the marriage, and there aren't a lot of ways to shake things up. With William's desire for a son, and Julia's fretfulness about not being able to give William one (She left him just so he could have a family!), this seems to be the obvious way to go. Then again, the best writers find a way that's not so obvious...  |

Hahahaha, you shouldn't have even looked at this thread! Your Goddess powers are still weak and cannot shield you from powerful rays of angst which are clearly your kryptonite. You must now recover your strength in the Connubial Bliss thread. |

You're right...I shouldn't have looked, but as you pointed out, my newly gained powers lack strength not only to shield me from angst, but also from the temptation to bathe in the ocean of ideas that seep from your mind. |

My first thought on this pic? Runaway bride. My brain always goes straight for the angst-bait!!! Ps. Source: CosmicCalvalcadeI know that pic was also posted here, but I couldn't find it quickly for some reason, and I found it quicker on CC's tumblr. Who also has a really funny post about a cross between Data and a puppy that I must add to the Tumblr thread later, lol. |

I could totally see the whole miscarriage happening...in fact I've written a fic where she had several miscarriages before she finally conceived. Needless to say that strained their relationship...
About the horse. It seems like they've forgone the bike this season. But hopefully it only seems like that since the bike is a part of his personality...and the source of his fine legs.

I totally hate that I can see a miscarriage happening...along with the depression, marital distance and general audience angst  . About William's legs  , I'm happy with horses or bikes for his workout. Does anybody else's heart start going pitter pat when William is riding a fine steed? |
