The 'I kissed a ghoul and I liked it' post got me thinking about &J aus again

Like if bringing Romeo back had a cost, let the young life of one who wouldn't have his true love return in exchange for ending the young life of one who would otherwise have a chance at having their true love

And William, in his attempt to bring Romeo and Juliet back together for Anne, would realize that he has to choose between May and Francois. The revival of Romeo means the death of one of them.

For the sake of keeping the conflict with the wedding, William would ultimately choose for May's life to be the exchange for Romeo's. In this version, May isn't in SUBG because they've been dying since the start of IML. They try to hold out long enough for Juliet or Francois to find them, but they slip away just moments before Juliet finds them. No one to carry their last words, no one to share a final smile with. They go out alone.

And so when Juliet finds May, she starts to blame herself. She wants to blame Romeo, and tries to get herself to blame him, but she thinks it's her fault because if she hadn't convinced them to run away, none of this would have happened. Meanwhile Francois doesn't blame anyone, he doesn't know who's to blame, and just begins to avoid everyone, while no one knows why. Romeo and Anne both blame themselves, Anne thinking it's her fault for William's actions and Romeo hating the fact that this was done to bring him back.

May would return as a ghost, and try to figure out what happened while Mercutio tries to comfort them. Neither sibling has completely forgiven the other for what happened in Verona, but there's something pleasantly familiar in the chaos when they reunite. May has all the typical ghost abilities: Phasing, levitation, possession (though they have to learn how first), moving things, all that, but can't become visible or audible to anyone except Romeo, Anne, and William.

William feels guilty about this too, but tries to convince himself that it's just a story, it's just a story that he's gotten too far into writing and none of these characters are real, trying to will himself out of the world he and Anne created and fell into. He keeps trying to live in denial that his actions had consequences that were actually real to people, and keeps failing. Romeo thinks it's all his fault, and May seems to blame him too. May isn't sure whose fault it is more, Romeo's or Will's, and they don't entirely know who Will is aside from the carriage driver and the one who brought Romeo back, so they become determined to figure out exactly what's going on.

May's biggest priority, though, is to get through to Juliet and Francois. They're scared that it'll hurt them too much or they wouldn't believe it if Anne or Romeo told them, and they haven't learned how to possess people yet, but they aren't sure how else they can reach the two. The wedding doesn't happen, and is replaced with a funeral where the Capulet parents still insist on Juliet returning to Verona. Perhaps May starts throwing things at Lord and Lady Cap, giving Juliet and Francois the first sign that they're still with them.

I love you & Juliet

I put him in minecraft :)
