must have been one of the plotlines they had to sacrifice when the show was cancelled
You give them more credit than I do.
I'm only sad that they are going back to all the nastiness that awaits at W&H.
If I had managed to make this a better story than I actually succeeded in doing (it's not bad, it's just a little light on theme), that juxtaposition would have been made much more poignant, I think. The irony that the hopefulness of the ending isn't hopeful at all if you know the canon--well the irony doesn't do anything at all in this story and is better off forgotten.
Or else you can be like me, and insist on imagining at least a month between "Smile Time" and "A Hole in the World" because the canon doesn't quite contradict it. (And this story is somewhat a response to Fred's implication that Wesley had never been in her bedroom.)
