YMMV moments from the An Extraordinary Journey multiverse.
Unmarked spoilers ahead!
These fanfics contain examples of:
- Iron Woobie: Faith, in pretty much any universe.
- Moral Event Horizon: Crossed with nary a qualm when Pete sabotages Sam's birth control. Up to that point, his actions, while often mean or dickish, didn't quite cross over into Pure Evil.
- Rescued from the Scrappy Heap: AEJ-verse Kennedy is still a stuck up, self-important bitch and has a lot of (mostly) irrational hatred for Willow. But she really does love Tara and even adopts Camille with her.
- Shipping: which characters wind up with which varies depending on the universe.
- Main story: Faith/Willow, Buffy/Xander, Sam/Pete until she divorces him, Dawn/Jon O'Neill (Clone Jack), Daniel/Anya, Cam/Vala (though the former denies it), and Angel/Cordy. There are the beginnings of Giles/OC, too.
- The Alternate Universe Willow gets sent to in the “Going Home” arc (Chapters 123-128) has Tara/Willow and Buffy/Oz.
- Aftermath of a Mirror Journey: Willow/Tara. Also Joyce/Jayden (Male OC).
- Main story: Faith/Willow, Buffy/Xander, Sam/Pete until she divorces him, Dawn/Jon O'Neill (Clone Jack), Daniel/Anya, Cam/Vala (though the former denies it), and Angel/Cordy. There are the beginnings of Giles/OC, too.
- Take That, Scrappy!: At some of the various fandoms' favorite targets, too!
- Hoo, boy, does Pete get hit with this after everyone finds out about his intentionally sabotaging Sam's birth control. Divorced from Sam, no visitation with their daughter, forced to register as a sex offender, and fired from his job as a cop. When he tries to take baby Debra—shooting, and almost killing, Jacob in the process—he gets caught, dropped on a planet with no DHD, and informed that he is officially dead on Earth.
- In most of the other alternate universes where he shows up he's some combination of complete creep, misogynist, narcissist, and all-around asshole. In fact, the only version of him that isn't confirmed as one is a version Faith glimpses for all of a paragraph when she is flying past several alternate realities.
- AEJ!Kennedy doesn't get hit with this, but some of the alternate universe versions do, big time.
- At the end of World's End, Willow finds out the Tara from an Alternate Timeline is alive. No more Willow/Kennedy!
- Hoo, boy, does Pete get hit with this after everyone finds out about his intentionally sabotaging Sam's birth control. Divorced from Sam, no visitation with their daughter, forced to register as a sex offender, and fired from his job as a cop. When he tries to take baby Debra—shooting, and almost killing, Jacob in the process—he gets caught, dropped on a planet with no DHD, and informed that he is officially dead on Earth.
- Values Dissonance: In "The Return", none of the Federation characters can understand how the Tau'ri and their allies can celebrate the extinction of a race (the Wraith).
- The Woobie: Athena. Her sister gets murdered in front of her, pushing her over the Despair Event Horizon. Her actions wind up seriously straining her relationship with her father. Then the Ancients lose the war with the Wraith and she has to leave her home for barbaric Earth. Once there she adopts a young girl,who winds up tortured, forced to fight vampires and other monsters, and eventually killed.
- Faith, too. Just beating her wasn't enough for her mother, the sex worker. She found out she could make a lot of money selling Faith to her customers.
- Kathy. Raised from the dead after being murdered, then had some demonic essences forced into her (including a vampire), then spent years being tortured until her mind snapped.
