One of the bits I'm really enjoying with In the Company of Witches and Slayers:

The Tara Maclay of this AU does duplicate a few of Willow's canonical notes, namely the equivalent of Something Blue, and resurrecting Willow in the same way that canon Willow resurrected Buffy. I also, like in my other works, use the gift that Amber Benson left of the evil Tara with Andrei Kurgan's grimoire but in a way more like what canon thought it did but didn't quite.

Instead of the magic addiction thing Tara goes on the same power trip I treat canon Willow's Dark Willow phase as and from her POV she's a victim of physical abuse who gains the power to actually hurt Glory instead of being hurt by her (there's a bit of a theme that the two villains that hurt her worst in this canon actually vehemently dislike her AU counterpart because she actually literally hurt them and made them feel it). As with canon Willow her worst traits are the results of Black magic corrupting her and less as addiction and more like the One Ring.

This AU's Dark Willow, by contrast, is a long-standing problem of suppressed rage and a combination of multiple hits with a trauma nailbat for someone with reality warping powers which is an explosive combination....and in each case the idea that there ever really WAS a Dark Willow or a Dark Tara is rejected by both Willow and Tara for very similar reasons but staunchly believed by their friends.

And since it's an unreliable narrator effect here each is equally right and wrong. Black magic really is innately corrupting because it grants the power to twist reality on a whim without any concern for the consequences and as power tends to corrupt, absolute power tends to corrupt absolutely. Does this have the equivalent effect of DID or Bruce Banner becoming the Hulk?

At least in my stories at a Doylist level, no, but in that Watsonian level the contrast between a very powerful sorcerer in full 'My Precious' mode with the One Ring and their ordinary selves is so much like it that people without the arcane knowledge to understand it can be easily forgiven for believing that's what they're seeing.

It's also that good old fashioned Scooby double standard, too. Amy Madison in particular is 'Willow if reality handed her only the bad cards and none of the good ones'. This AU's Willow recognizes that and has sympathy for her within limits and keeps trying to appeal to her good side, which is a note missed with the canon Willow where they just forgot that Amy was one of her closest friends who turned to evil. And until the Twilight war Amy is seen in-universe through Willow's eyes but after it she's seen through the eyes of other characters and she's a murderous evil witch who tries to wield human sacrifice, blood magic, and is every bit as power hungry, petty, and jealous as her canon counterpart.

Equally since this AU's Willow is invincible unless she's facing foes capable of using her weaknesses (which naturally I tend to do precisely to add creative tension) her standards of threats are skewed and what to her is a nuisance is an existential threat to everyone else. Amy and Tara, unlike in other cases, are by no means weak, they are exceptionally powerful. Since Willow is the most powerful being in the *universe*, mystically, everyone else is second rate. Second rate to the most powerful being in the infinite expanse of a single universe allows massive amounts of leg room and Tara is the second most powerful sorceress in the entire setting and Amy the third.

And Amy, if she's not facing Willow or Faith with a friendly weapon that nullifies magic like the Scythe or Olaf's Hammer, is a murderously creative juggernaut who can and does steamroll multiple enemies at once with trivial ease. This is for the villains is Buffy on hard mode, the villains that last are more badass than their canon counterparts by default.

And where canon only hinted at the worst things Willow did indirectly and in a way where people can ignore it, which was IMO one of the most foolish things it did, because if you're going to go there, go all the way or not at all, this show makes it explicit and in a way that parallels Faith and Tara just as canon pairs Faith and Willow.

And just as with canon Willow these particular aspects are explicitly a case of 'Dark Side brain rot' and very directly NOT what the actual Tara would do, and it's one of the things that haunts her most. Where canon Willow never really had to face the consequences of her actions due to the bullet (and that too is one of the best reasons for the Tara resurrection storyline) , this AU's Tara very much does face them and grows into fully being the person she could have been. Much like how canon Tara made major mistakes and was the rare Buffyverse character allowed to actually grow and become wiser from them.

This is also why a couple of my other AUs hinge on 'Willow looks into the future, sees her canon path, goes 'Hell no' and rejects it and it turns out that rejecting it works but there are some steep prices for trying'. Essentially when the characters look at canon Season 6 they balk and go 'gross, no thank you' but this setting being what it is, it fucks them up with a different nailbat because it's the Whedonverse and his characters only get yea tier nice things.

The Lightdancer made landfall upon Urhalzan in the wake of her first clashes, the worlds remade and their cultures changed not so the demons lurking within hearts and the evil inclinations would be nourished but the better ones. She had learned much, had delved deep into hidden truths and had found that core that lay within. The great throneworld of the Hundred Thousand Realms was a beautiful place, stark and golden and a monument to power and to her father's great work.

And he had sought, in the end, a kind of power that was very risky and her steps on its soil marked the return of something long forgotten. One of her siblings, one of the older ones, looked at her with his right hand's claws brushing his jaw-horn.

You....

She turned to look at him and smiled, a smile in a face that to the children of Earth would have been the more disturbing for how close to humanity was, until of course it wasn't.

Yes, me. I have discovered the truth. The legacy of the Field of Blood has reached a new turning in the cycle.

She raised her right hand and shadows danced along it and in the shadows there was a smell, an old smell, one long-forgotten on the throneworld though horridly familiar where the tide of conquest drew to the shore like a tsunami raging at the height of its power.

I have returned, a voice that was not hers spoke without her lips moving, her presence casting a great shadow on the golden world, for what was sealed can never truly be taken away. Of all beings that fear me, it is the Undying that do so most.

Many ages ago Death was defeated and sealed. Immortality is the norm, but the loss of death has lead to a society of ultralites that rule over never dying slaves. As Death’s first reaper after the unsealing, you are here to remind them why Death exists… and why your master should be feared.

That anyone believed the Gimbutas 'Goddesses fix misogyny' thesis when Ancient Athens is a thing is incredible, and Athena is precisely why:

And last, before moving into the realities behind all the literary elements, but most revealing of all for how little the Goddess actually mean in debunking misogyny at the time.....Athens was named after Athena, its patron Goddess. Athens, mind you, the most infamously misogynistic part of ancient Greece. Its entire founding myth roots it solidly in choosing to be Athens instead of Poseidonopolis, and yet that myth made it the most blatantly misogynistic society in the Ancient world in Western Eurasia, rivaled only by Imperial China in the East.

Athena Herself is a Goddess of many factors, but not least among them is being the ever-victorious guardian of strategic war, not the BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD variety. That was Ares' prerogative, and why Ares was despised everywhere in Greece....save Sparta. Equally ironically Ares is also the only deity in Classical myth who actually had legitimate respect for women (hence one aspect of Aphrodite leaping into His arms) which has its own effects on the city that worshiped Him as Patron....Sparta.
