A word about grace
Perhaps "graciousness" is not a topic I'm qualified to mention, since I can pretty easily slip in and out of it. However, believe it or not, as a slash fan, I've said all along I have no dog in this fight except complaints about skewed characterizaton.
To me, it's no real surprise that it's looking as though AWE will end W/E. For anyone who worries otherwise ... God love you, but I don't think it's gonna happen. I think the most you can hope for is an implied threesome.
W/E fans have a real opportunity in upcoming weeks to show class. No matter what has come before, taking these spoilers - real and hoped-for - as license to bounce around and do an "IN YER FACE!!" to J/E fans would be a mistake, IMO. For one, it's not very nice. For two, you gotta feel sorry for the people who won't get the ending they wanted. For three, there's still that 1-percent chance that things won't end in your favor, and then how stupid would you look?
The first two apply after the movie comes out, too. J/E fans are likely going to be massively disappointed, and while I don't hold their POV, I can empathize with not having a movie be as good as you'd hoped.
Come on, W/E people. Consider being calm and nice. The people who're going to Will-bash are going to do it however things turn out; you're not doing it for them. You're doing it for yourselves, mostly.
