I see I didn't comment here, and I can't remember whether I said so in chat, so...
I agree, if Will gets screwed over by Jack and Liz the way so many recent fics seem to show him being screwed over by them, I can see him burying himself in his work as an anodyne and eventually taking this decidedly detached view of the whole world, not just Jack and Liz. It'd certainly be easier than agonizing over every soul whose life he could've saved and didn't.
And as Bill said in the latest segment of your J/W,E/W fic, Will isn't the genie of the lamp; he's not the Cavalry, riding in to save people. He's the mortuary officer, picking up the pieces afterward.
